Learn to make your own Candles!
August 29, from 10am-12pm
Whether you’re brand new to candle-making or ready to take your skills up a notch, this 2-hour class will walk you through the process of creating your own candles from start to finish.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn:
The basics of working with soy wax
The difference between fragrance oils & essential oils
How to properly melt, pour, and set your candles
Wick selection and placement for a clean, even burn.
How to add fragrance safely.
Troubleshooting common candle-making mistakes so your candles turn out just right.
By the end of class, you’ll head home with 2 handcrafted candles (7-ounce & 8.5-ounce), the knowledge to keep creating on your own, and practical tips to help during your candle-making journey. If you’re interested in bringing your own candle vessel to use, please feel free to bring heat-resistant, non-flammable, and non-porous containers (examples: annealed glass, glazed ceramic, metal tins). If the vessels you bring aren’t safe for candle use, the instructor will let you know. In that case, you’re welcome to use the class‑provided vessels instead.
This class is perfect for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals, as well as intermediate makers looking to sharpen their skills.
No experience necessary. Ages 15+ welcome, or ages 12+yrs with an adult!
