The 45th Friday Four
Thanks for catching up with the Friday Four series, simply the 4 weekly highlights from behind the scenes at Tura Lura Co. in West Branch.
Let’s get into it!
My friends over at FilmScene reached out with a very creative project I got to work on this week! I got to cook up my version of Blueberry Pie for a special edition candle, the premiere of HERETIC. Directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods will join FilmScene in person for a Q&A November 10 at 7pm. Head there early at 6:30pm for some blueberry themed treats! More information here.
I think I just booked my last private party of 2024 for West Branch! The calendar is full but no fear if you need to come make a candle! The next Candle Pour Bar is on Thursday, November 14 at 6pm at the Vue (tix here) in Iowa City! Then the final available and open class for candle making is the day after Thanksgiving, we have a little gathering in West Branch. While things are winding down for 2024, I am excited to release the 2025 dates soon :)
From announcing closing up the West Branch studio last Friday to a very stressful election, it’s been a week. And the one thing that I continue to feel right now is hope. I get to spend so much time with strangers at Tura Lura Co. connecting and creating. When we talk during our classes and parties, I learn about what people care about. An inside glimpse into people’s hearts and what they love. I feel so incredible lucky to bring people together, experiencing light when life can feel dark.
To end my time in West Branch, I am going to open my doors during West Branch’s A Christmas Past to say thank you to everyone who supported me! Save the date for December 7, more information to come next week!
Happy Friday!
