Candlemaking Workshops

Candlemaking is offered everyday during open business hours! These workshops are such a fun way to celebrate birthdays, bachelorette parties, work parties, baby showers, or just a fun night out. If you have a group of 10-20 people or need a large space for food + drink, please fill out this form to book your party.

How it works:

  1. Choose your container: bring in your own container ($1.50-$3/oz, depending on container size)- we do not accept containers less than 5oz. or you can select one of our ready-to-pour vessels in store (see below!).

  2. Choose your fragrances: create a full-bodied scent through learning how to mix fragrances.

  3. Mix + Pour: create your candle with the help of one of our expert candle-makers!

Making your candle takes about 30 minutes, but your creation will need to set for 2-3 hours before you can take it home. Go grab lunch or a cup of coffee while perusing the other shops in the wealthy street shopping district!
