Do Good Candle Bar brings a concise, hands‑on workshop to Louie’s Mercantile in downtown Grand Forks: discover which of 16–20 scents speak to you across four mood categories, choose a vessel, blend and pour your own soy candle by hand, and leave with a self‑care ritual card that helps you steward the moment you’ve made.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MOMENT

Intentional self‑care in an 8.5‑ounce candle

For $45 you create a completely custom 8.5‑ounce hand‑poured soy candle—less a craft class than a small, deliberate act of self‑care brought to Louie’s Mercantile.

THE PROCESS

Guided scent quiz and hands‑on pouring

A guided scent quiz narrows which of the 16–20 available fragrances across four mood categories suit you; then you pick a vessel, blend your chosen scent, and pour the candle by hand before finishing with a ritual card to take home.

THE PRACTICALS

Small groups, scheduled sessions

Sessions are limited—8 spots available per hour (24 total bookings across the event window)—and run at Louie’s Mercantile during the event’s posted hours; children under 16 may attend only when accompanied by an adult.

What the day feels like

How the workshop feels

The session is compact and intentional: a scent quiz leads, a brief selection of vessel and blend options follows, and you finish by physically pouring and setting an 8.5‑ounce soy candle. The pace supports a small, focused ritual rather than a long technical course—participants leave with a finished candle and a self‑care card that frames the moment they created.
