Join this candle-making and painting class in Brighton and discover a feel-good way to catch up with friends or meet fellow makers. You'll be guided step-by-step through the process of crafting your own 180ml scented soy wax candle, choosing from a range of inviting fragrances. While your creation sets, it's time to get hands-on with some taper candle painting. You'll have the chance to decorate two coloured candles with your own unique designs, making them the perfect keepsakes to brighten your home or gift to someone special.
The atmosphere is designed to help you switch off and find your flow, with a curated playlist featuring R&B, Afrobeats, Soul, and Jazz. Your first drink is included to help you settle in and enjoy the social vibe. Whether you're a complete beginner or just looking for a fresh challenge, this low-pressure environment is all about having fun and exploring your crafty side.
  • Hand-pour your candle – Master the techniques of melting, mixing, and pouring your own soy wax candle.
  • Paint your tapers – Use your imagination to decorate two additional candles with intricate patterns or bold colours.
  • Enjoy the rhythm – Sip on your complimentary drink while listening to a soulful, upbeat soundtrack.
By the end of the session, you'll feel completely refreshed and inspired by your new skills. You'll head home with a custom-scented candle and two hand-painted tapers, ready to add a warm, personal glow to your living space.
Please note: This class is for ages 18+ only. The workshop starts promptly at 2pm. Please arrive early to claim your free drink and get settled. There’ll be a short break to purchase additional drinks if you wish.

What started in 2020 as a small hobby (creating sculptural candles for friends and family) quickly grew into something more. After being invited to host a workshop at Barbican Centre, it became clear that the real magic wasn’t just in making candles… it was in teaching others to create something they’re genuinely proud of.
That’s how Sip & Wick was born.
Sip & Wick is not your typical candle-making class - it’s a full sensory, hands-on experience.
From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed with drinks and good energy. You’ll be guided through the entire candle-making process:
  • Measuring and melting your own wax
  • Blending a custom fragrance from 30+ scents
  • Pouring and setting your candle
While your candle sets, the creativity continues with candle painting, all set to a carefully curated playlist to keep the vibes flowing.
It’s mindful, social, and creative all at once. A space to unwind, connect, and make something beautiful with your own hands.
Whether you come with friends or solo, you leave with more than just a candle, you leave with an experience.
