The Candle Studio: Pour, Scent & Create

The Candle Studio: Pour, Scent & Create

Overview

Get hands-on and make your own scented candle at The Candle Studio—fun vibes, cool scents, and creative chill time!

The Candle Studio: Pour, Scent & Create

Slow down. Make something with your hands. Leave with a candle that's completely your own.

Join us for The Candle Studio: Pour, Scent & Create, a relaxed afternoon dedicated to fragrance, creativity, and the simple pleasure of making something from scratch.

This beginner-friendly workshop will guide you through the candle-making process from start to finish.

No previous candle-making experience is required.

You'll learn how fragrance, wax, wick selection, temperature, and pouring technique work together to create a beautiful candle.

Then comes the fun part: creating your own scent.

Guests will explore a curated selection of fragrance oils and experiment with different combinations before selecting a personal fragrance blend for their candle.

Our workshop facilitator will walk you through each stage, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about getting everything perfect.

  • Learn the fundamentals of candle making

A CREATIVE AFTERNOON — NOT A CLASSROOM This isn't designed to feel like a technical lecture.

Expect a warm, social atmosphere where you can experiment with fragrances, chat with other guests, take photos, and enjoy the process of making something yourself.

Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a creative afternoon together.

Light refreshments and water will be available during the workshop.

HOST: Maya Collins - Candle Maker & Creative Workshop Facilitator

Maya Collins is an independent candle maker and creative workshop facilitator who enjoys helping beginners discover approachable ways to make beautiful handmade products.

Her workshops focus on simple techniques, fragrance exploration, and creating an environment where guests can experiment without feeling intimidated.

Rather than turning candle making into a complicated technical lesson, Maya's teaching style focuses on understanding a few important fundamentals and then giving participants the freedom to create something personal.

She will guide guests throughout the workshop — from selecting fragrances and preparing the vessel to blending, pouring, and candle care.
