THE PROCESS

Customize every element — vessel, scent, and finish

This is a true DIY session: select a Paddywax vessel and from curated pre‑blended fragrances, then pour and finish a candle tailored to your taste under shop guidance.

THE GUIDANCE

Led by Paddywax Chandlers

Experienced Chandlers guide each step of the pour, answer questions, and help you refine scent and wick choices; after the class you can shop the retail selection at 20% off.

THE TAKEAWAY

Pick up, ship, or enjoy an on‑site pour

Candles will cool and be ready for pickup beginning three hours after class, or the shop can ship them for $15; customers may also bring their own beverage with an $8 corking fee.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to pour your own candle

The session moves deliberately: check in at the Paddywax studio, pick a vessel and a scent, then—under the watchful eye of a Chandler—measure and pour wax into your chosen jar. The class is concise, hands‑on, and finished in a single sitting, with time afterward to browse the retail shelves at a discounted rate.
