THE WORKSHOP

Hands‑on candle and wax‑melt making

In a guided studio session students select scents, pour their own candle or wax melts with instructor support, and apply finishing touches before taking their creation home.

THE LEARNING

Candle science and fragrance blending

The class introduces basic science concepts through creative, sensory learning—measuring materials, exploring scent combinations, and understanding safe pouring.

THE SETTING

Small classes, personalized instruction

Sessions are kept small so instructors can offer hands‑on guidance and individualized support as students work through scent selection and the pouring process.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

The hour moves from short, instructor‑led explanations of candle science and scent blending into active studio time: each student measures materials, chooses fragrances, pours under supervision, and completes their piece with finishing touches and care instructions to bring home.
