Introducing our candle making workshops, where you’ll learn the basics of aromatherapy and essential oil blending, during which you will make three of your own jar candles!
In a small group of up to 10, you’ll get 2 hours of "you" time to build a skill surrounded by like-minded people in a comfortable, relaxing space.
The workshops start with grabbing a free herbal tea, followed by a tour of our essential oils, their benefits, and the key knowledge of aromatherapy blends as well as scent building. You'll get to make blends until you create 3 custom scents you love, before moving on to product making. Your teacher will then walk you through how to wick your container, scent your wax, and pour your candles, for long-lasting candles with a great scent throw and a smooth finish.
Learn to work with our sustainable and all-natural, coconut and rapeseed wax, cotton wicks, and using pure essential oils, so you’ll be using or gifting the highest quality candles!
We’ll provide all the ingredients, you’ll also get a chance to buy hugely discounted products, and we’ll gift you a code for future workshops and online purchases.
Our recipes are vegan, sustainable, and natural.
Note: If you or the person you are buying for is allergic to an essential oil, oats, coconut, or rapeseed, please let us know!
For security reasons, the building is locked during classes. Your teacher will be available to let you in from half an hour prior to the session until class starts. At the start of the class, a herbal tea will be provided, after which doors will be locked and class begins. We will not be able to catch up attendees who arrive more than 15 minutes late, and this will be considered a no-show. Thank you for your understanding.
