Candle making is equal parts enjoyable and rewarding. Under the expert guidance of one of our talented teachers across the UK, you’ll learn how to melt wax, add colours and fragrances, and pour your own candles in different shapes and sizes.

You’ll also learn about the different types of waxes, wicks, and containers that you can use for your candles. By the end of the class, you’ll have a new skill that you can use to make more candles at home, make thoughtful gifts for your loved ones or even start your own business if it’s really got you fired up!
