Route Schematic

Studio Itinerary

A step‑by‑step sequence in the Draper studio from arrival to finished product.

  1. Check‑In

    Arrive and check in with the chandlers so the team knows you’re ready to begin.

  2. Fragrance Wall

    Explore the fragrance wall, take a candle from the wall to smell and note your favorites on the provided clipboard.

  3. Pick a Container & Curate

    Select a container, then work with chandlers to choose up to three fragrances and decide the ratios for your blend.

  4. Set, Stir, Pour & Label

    Set your wick, mix oils with soy wax, pour into your container, then decorate or name the label; candles are left to set and collected per the studio’s pick‑up guidelines.

The activity is a hands‑on indoor workshop; the studio retains poured candles to cure and strongly encourages pick‑up on another day. Availability and pick‑up rules can affect scheduling.
