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!
You’ll get 2 hours of guided "you" time, with friends or solo, to build a skill surrounded by like-minded people in a comfortable, relaxing space.
The workshops start with grabbing a free drink, followed by a tour of our essential oils, their benefits, and the key knowledge of aromatherapy blends as well as scent building. Blend 3 of your own scents, and get walked 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 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. All of our paper is plantable and sows wildflowers for the bees!
