Join this gel candle making class in London and step into a hands-on, design-led experience where creativity meets a relaxed, social atmosphere.
In this workshop, your teacher will show you how to create a bespoke gel candle using premium transparent wax. This unique material allows you to build layered, visually striking designs that are completely your own. You'll play with vibrant colours and suspended elements to achieve a finish that looks more like a piece of art than a traditional candle.
Throughout the session, you'll work with a curated selection of scents, giving you full control over how your creation feels and smells. Whether you're drawn to fresh, clean notes or warm, indulgent blends, the final result is entirely up to you.
Your host will guide you through the process of working with glass containers, showing you how to construct your candle step by step. You'll have the freedom to experiment with different styles, including:
  • Drink-inspired designs – Create a candle that looks just like your favourite cocktail.
  • Abstract compositions – Use bold and playful elements to make a one-of-a-kind statement.
  • Minimalist elegance – Focus on clear, simple designs for a sophisticated look.
To make the experience even more uplifting, you'll enjoy a "sip and create" setting with drinks and light nibbles available to help you switch off. It's designed to be unhurried and genuinely joyful, making it the perfect way to catch up with friends or meet fellow first-timers.
You don't need any previous experience to join in. By the end of the class, you'll have gained a fresh perspective on home fragrance and you'll leave with a beautiful, handmade keepsake to brighten up your home.
Please note: We have a strict 15-minute lateness policy. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after the scheduled start time, your booking will be cancelled without a refund or reschedule.

  • Your own handcrafted gel candle to take home, designed entirely by you, using premium gel wax, colours, scents, and decorative elements.
