In this sensory workshop, we pour beautifully scented candles using eco-friendly plant-based wax. Unlike traditional paraffin candles, plant wax candles burn cleaner and longer — completely free from harmful substances.

You will learn the core steps of candle-making and what to look out for when buying candles in the future. Discover the effect of scents on our mood and create your own feel-good scent using either natural essential oils or high-quality candle fragrance oils. You will then pour three personalised scented candles in glass containers — perfect as gifts or for your home.

We use exclusively high-quality, natural, and eco-friendly materials, suitable for use in aromatherapy.

What you will learn:

  • Differences between various types of wax, as well as the correct combination of wick, wax, and container size for an even and clean burn
  • Introduction to aromatherapy and the effects of essential oils on body, mind, and emotions
  • Proper melting and scenting of wax, to preserve the full aroma of essential oils
  • Practical candle care tips for a longer and cleaner burn

Good to know:

  • No prior experience is needed
  • The candles need at least 48 hours to set and can therefore be collected the following day during open studio hours (Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays)
  • This workshop is very popular and bookable also as a group event
  • Tea, coffee, as well as sweet and savoury snacks are included
  • All materials are included in the price
