There’s something instantly satisfying about making a candle with your own hands: choosing a scent that matches your vibe, picking a jar that looks great on a shelf, and watching a simple pour become a finished piece you can enjoy at home. A 60-minute, hands-on candle making class turns that cozy idea into a real, take-home result—without needing prior experience or a cabinet full of supplies.
In this workshop, you’ll design and pour your own custom candle from start to finish. With 25+ scents plus a wide range of colors, jars, wicks, toppings, and accessories, you can make something clean and minimal, bold and playful, or perfectly giftable. Best of all, experienced staff guide you through the process in a studio setting that’s described by participants as luxurious, organized, and relaxing.

Customization: 25+ Scents, Plus Colors, Jars, Toppings, and More
The best part of a candle making class is getting to create something you won’t find on a typical store shelf. Instead of choosing from a few pre-set options, you’re building a candle around your preferences.
What you can personalize
- Scent: Choose from 25+ fragrance options to craft a candle that feels fresh, cozy, clean, warm, or bold—whatever fits your mood.
- Color: Match your decor, your season, or your gift recipient’s style.
- Jar: Pick a vessel you’ll actually want to display.
- Wick: Choose from the available options as you build your candle design.
- Toppings and accessories: Add finishing touches that make your candle feel uniquely yours.
Because everything is designed for a studio environment, you get a curated range of choices without the overwhelm of shopping for separate components.
A Luxurious, Organized Studio Makes the Whole Experience Better
Atmosphere matters—especially for a creative workshop. The classes take place in studios that emphasize a sleek, tranquil, and spacious environment. That means you can focus on enjoying the activity, taking your time with decisions, and leaning into the relaxing vibe.
People often mention that the space feels beautiful and super organized, which helps the workshop flow smoothly and makes the experience feel like a true treat rather than a rushed craft session.
Who This Candle Making Class Is Perfect For
This workshop works for a wide range of plans because it’s social, hands-on, and produces a take-home result in just one hour.

Friends and weekend plans
For friends, it’s a fun way to do something different than dinner or drinks. Everyone can make something totally different, even while working side by side.
