About this workshop

Melt, scent, colour and pour your own personalised candles in a cosy, social session!

Discover the art of luxury candle making in this relaxing, hands-on workshop where you'll create a beautifully scented soy wax candle that's completely personalised to your taste. From the moment you arrive, you'll choose your favourite candle vessel from our collection of elegant glass containers before designing a fragrance that's uniquely yours.

Working exclusively with premium soy wax, you'll blend from a collection of 50+ high-quality fragrance oils, allowing you to create anything from fresh florals and warm vanilla notes to rich woods, citrus blends, cosy seasonal scents, and countless custom combinations. You'll also select your preferred candle colour, giving you complete creative freedom to design a candle that perfectly matches your style or home décor.

Once your candle has been poured, the creativity continues with our wax decorating session. You'll create decorative wax melts before transforming the top of your candle into a miniature work of art using 100+ handcrafted wax decorations. Choose from tiny fruits, berries, flowers, desserts, drinks, botanical elements, seashells, and many more intricate designs to create anything from a luxurious matcha-inspired candle to an iced latte aesthetic, a fresh sea breeze theme, or a completely original concept. You can even add crystal-clear jelly wax details for extra depth and visual impact.

Suitable for complete beginners and experienced creatives alike, this workshop combines fragrance, colour, and design into one truly immersive experience. Guided by our instructors every step of the way, you'll leave with a beautifully handcrafted luxury soy candle that's as stunning to display as it is to burn.

Good to know

Do I need any experience?

Not at all - it suits complete beginners and experienced artists alike, and you'll be guided throughout.

Can I choose my own scent and colour?

Yes, you'll pick your favourite fragrances and colours to make a candle that's truly yours.

Is it safe to burn a candle with decorations inside?

Yes. All decorative elements included in your candle are made from gel wax or soy wax, both of which are specifically designed for candle making and are safe to burn.

Can I bring children?

Yes! Children aged 5 and over are welcome to join this workshop.

When can I burn my candle?

We recommend allowing your candle to cure for at least 48 hours before lighting it for the first time. Since you'll be creating your own unique blend using premium soy wax, fragrance oils, and colours, this curing time allows all the ingredients to properly set and bind together for the best possible burn and scent throw. The longer you leave it, the better it gets. While your candle will be ready to enjoy after 48 hours, allowing it to cure for several more days can result in an even stronger fragrance and a smoother, more even burn.
