What Happens in Our Workshops

A relaxed, guided candle-making experience.

Every session begins with a warm welcome, light snacks and beverages, and time to explore our scent library. From there, our team guides you step-by-step through the fundamentals — no experience needed.

i.

Warm welcome

Light snacks and beverages while you settle in and explore the scent library.

ii.

Guided blending

Choose fragrance blends and learn safe, professional pouring techniques with our team.

iii.

Craft your candle

Leave with your own custom-scented candle (or two, depending on the format) and the confidence to keep experimenting at home.

iv.

Small & guided

Every class is beginner-friendly and kept deliberately small, so you get plenty of guidance and time to ask questions.

The Scent Library
