THE PROCESS

A two-step making sequence

This workshop unfolds in two distinct phases: a first session to hand-build your candle holder and a later visit to paint and personalize the fired piece, culminating in a wax pour and scent selection.

THE HANDS-ON

Work with studio clay

Day one is a focused, practical session in which you shape your candle holder using the studio’s clay and techniques during a roughly two-hour class.

THE FINISH

Firing, wax pour and scent selection

After the piece is fired, the studio pours the wax and you choose a scent to bring your handcrafted candle to life.

What the experience feels like

The flow is deliberate and hands-on: an initial creative session to shape clay into a candle holder, a pause while the studio fires the piece, then a return to paint and personalize before the staff completes the candle with a wax pour and scent selection.
