What It Is
Our candle making class in Midtown NYC runs at 325 W 38th Street, two blocks from Times Square–42nd St and Port Authority and ten minutes from Penn Station. In one hour you choose from 40+ phthalate-free fragrance oils, blend your own scent, and hand-pour a soy candle into a reusable vessel you take home the same day. $59 per person, all materials included, no experience needed.
Public classes seat up to 45, so friends and bachelorette groups fit in one session. Private candle-making events host 10–200 guests at the studio or at your office anywhere in Manhattan.
