Collection: Workshops

 

A candle making workshop is a hands-on class where participants learn how to make candles from scratch. The workshop typically covers the basics of selecting the appropriate wax, wicks, and scents, as well as techniques for melting, pouring, and setting the candles. Participants can take home their creations at the end of the workshop.

Some workshops will also have another element to it, like a floral or sign painting workshop, so that your candle will have time to set.  



2025 Workshops are starting to fill up!
