1.5 hours Class size 2 to 30     label £50

Join our candle making workshop in London and learn the art of creating botanical candles using essential oils and natural wax. In this relaxed and inclusive workshop, you'll discover how to blend oils to create your own bespoke scent and hand-pour a candle to take home.

During the workshop, we'll delve into the benefits of using natural ingredients in your home, explore the difference between fragrance and essential oils, and educate you on the various wax types available. Additionally, we'll discuss how scent stimulates the olfactory system, evoking memories and helping to create new ones. To ensure you get the most out of your candle, we'll also provide you with valuable candle care tips.

Immerse yourself in the world of candle making, learn new skills, and discover the joy of creating your own signature scent. Our candle making workshop in London is the perfect opportunity to unwind, tap into your creativity, and take home a beautiful and personalised botanical candle.

We run Essential Oil Candle Workshops from our shop in Margate and studio at Hackney Downs Studios, East London.

My grandparent Sylvia introduced me to candle making when i was younger, then ten years ago I revisited what she had taught me when I discovered how hard it was to find truly natural candles without any synthetic fragrances for my own home. So i honed the craft and developed my own range of natural candles scented exclusively with pure essential oils with my first brand Milkwood. I have enjoyed teaching candle making for the last 8 years and take pride in creating a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere in our workshops.

The August shop, our space in Margate's handsome Old Town also sells a concise selection of home goods, books and printed matter inspired by art, nature and queer culture.
