What It Is

Melt, scent, and pour your own candle from start to finish. No experience needed. You'll learn how to blend fragrance into the soy wax, place the wick, and pour it cleanly so it sets without air pockets or sinkholes, then take it home the same day.

Our soy candle making workshop in NYC's Financial District studio works for solo drop-ins, date nights, special occasions, and groups of 100+ alike — same calm, guided pace either way.

All candle-making supplies are provided. Walk out with a beautiful custom candle to keep, gift, or add to your own collection.
