Adventure brief
Come Pour a Pride Candle or Tart Melt!
Celebrate Pride Night at The Haute Wick Social in Huntington by creating your own scented candle or tart melt. The workshop walks you through step-by-step instruction to formulate a scent, choose from tins, melts, or larger candles, and leaves you with a custom printed Pride label; 20% of each ticket sold benefits Huntington Pride.
The Haute Wick Social’s Pride Night in Huntington, West Virginia, offers a hands-on evening that pairs craft energy with community purpose. Located in downtown Huntington on the western edge of the Appalachian Plateau near the Ohio River, the workshop invites makers and allies to pour a 4oz tin, an 8oz jar, or a set of tart melts while 20% of ticket sales benefit Huntington Pride. Participants receive step-by-step instruction, choose a scent, and leave with a custom printed Pride label; finished pieces are available for pickup the following day at noon.
Inside the studio, the scene is tactile and immediate: rows of labeled fragrance options, metal tins or larger vessels waiting to be filled, and a communal counter built for careful, deliberate pours. The program is designed for people ages 13 and up and runs roughly 30 minutes, making it an accessible stop between riverfront trails, Pullman Square events, and a night out in town. Group size is limited to eight, which keeps the vibe social but intentionally small so each participant gets hands-on time and instructor feedback.
What elevates this class beyond a simple craft night is its community focus. Pairing a creative skill with a fundraising push for Huntington Pride turns a souvenir into a statement. If you’re passing through the Ohio River corridor or exploring the nearby Appalachian foothills, this is the sort of local experience that connects you to people rather than just places.
Practical notes: choose your pour at booking—4oz tin, four tart melts, or an 8oz candle—and plan to return the next day for pickup. The studio notes accessibility options for wheelchair users if you ask ahead. Bring a sense of curiosity and an allergy note if you have sensitivities to fragrance oils.
For visitors who want to stitch together a full day, combine the class with a morning walk along the Ohio River Greenway, a late lunch at downtown eateries, or a visit to Ritter Park’s green spaces. Photographers should focus on the hands-on moments—the shimmer of liquid wax, the slow steady pour, and the printed Pride label against a raw candle surface.
Whether you’re a maker looking for a quick technique booster, a traveler who values meaningful souvenirs, or a local supporter of Huntington Pride, this short workshop delivers a warm, focused craft experience rooted in place and purpose.
Bookings are simple: select your pour size online, note any accessibility needs, and arrive a few minutes early to choose your scent and label. The small class size makes it a good option for a date night, a family outing with teens, or a low-key bachelorette activity. Expect friendly instruction, clean workstations, and a keepsake that carries both scent and story and meaning.
