'Tis the season to sip, wick and get a little festive!
Join Seka Candles and art'otel for Sip, Wick & Kringle, a festive candle-making workshop series bringing together creativity, mindfulness and a little Christmas magic.
Whether you're looking for a wholesome festive activity with friends, a creative date idea or simply an excuse to slow down during the Christmas rush, this one's for you!
During this cosy, hands-on workshop, you'll be guided through the process of creating your very own scented soy wax candle, choosing from a selection of comforting seasonal fragrances inspired by the festive season. Think warm cinnamon, sweet vanilla and all things cosy.
But this isn't just about making candles. At Seka, we believe in creating space to reconnect with yourself, meet new people, get a little creative and embrace your playful side. Because mindfulness doesn't always have to be serious!
What to expect:
  • A guided, beginner-friendly candle-making experience
  • Your very own hand-poured scented soy wax candle to take home
  • A selection of beautiful festive fragrances
  • Mindful moments, creativity and a little festive silliness
  • A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can connect, unwind and have fun
  • 20% off drinks at the hotel bar for workshop guests
Three locations, one festive experience!
Our Sip, Wick & Kringle workshop series will be popping up across three beautiful London locations:
  • art'otel London Hoxton
  • art'otel London Battersea Power Station
  • Holmes Hotel London, Marylebone
Each workshop takes place at a different venue, so please double-check the date, time and location on your ticket before booking.
No experience needed, just bring yourself, a little festive spirit and a willingness to get creative!
Come for the candles, stay for the connection, and leave with something lovely made by you.
We can't wait to sip, wick and kringle with you!

Hello, beautiful soul.
I’m Noku, the heart behind Seka Candles.
Like many of us, my path hasn’t been straightforward. My childhood, teenage years, and early 20s were marked by struggles I didn’t fully understand until I hit my lowest. Being diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, it was both a revelation and a turning point, and I'm still on that journey.
Learning how to navigate my mental health day by day, candle making has been one of the pillars that’s kept me grounded, a gentle practice that reminds me to pause, breathe, and reconnect with myself when the world feels heavy. Out of this practice and my deep respect for the environment, Seka Candles was born.
Five years into this craft, I've delivered 8 workshops, and I've had the pleasure of being featured in Stylist Magazine, Simply Business, and Portsmouth News. You can also find my products in various boutiques and cafes.
But this brand is about more than just creating beautiful, sustainable candles. It’s about something bigger—a movement of self-love, healing, and mindfulness.
It’s a space for evolving self-connection, a reminder that self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Each candle is created to hold space for softness, stillness, and peace, for those moments when you need to return to yourself.
I hope that to you, Seka Candles is a community. A space where we uplift each other, embrace our healing journeys, and rediscover what it means to truly care for ourselves.
If you’ve read this far, thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing yourself.
Welcome to Seka Candles, where every flame is a step toward self-love.
