Candle Artist Course

Turn your creativity into a professional candle making business with this five-day course in Edniburgh.



5 x 5 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests       £1,298

Join our five-day candle artist course in Edinburgh and develop the professional skills, creative confidence and distinctive product range you need to build a thriving candle-making business – whether you're starting from scratch or looking to expand an existing craft or gift venture.
This is hands-on, immersive learning designed for aspiring candle makers, creative entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to work at a professional level. Over five full days, you'll explore candle-making theory and work with a wide range of waxes, moulds, materials and decorative techniques.
You'll create 28 different candle styles, from container candles and silicone mould-making to intricate techniques like inlay, ebru, and lace candles. Each project builds your technical knowledge and creative repertoire, giving you the confidence to develop your own collections and understand what makes premium, handmade candles stand out in the marketplace.
Your instructor is an experienced, recognised professional candle-making instructor from Candle Creations Edinburgh, with specialist training and teaching credentials with two leading candle-making associations. That means you're learning directly from someone who knows the industry inside out – the techniques, the materials, the business side – and genuinely wants you to succeed.
You'll receive hands-on guidance throughout, with an emphasis on both creative expression and professional practice, so you understand not just how to make beautiful candles, but how to develop and refine a product range that's distinctly yours.
By the end of the course, you'll walk away with far more than techniques. You'll have the knowledge, the creative confidence and a varied portfolio of skills that'll help you launch or expand your candle-making business with real direction and professionalism.

  • Five full days of hands-on professional tuition.
  • Candle Artist Course handbook.
