What you'll do

Looking for a calming and creative experience? Join us for an afternoon of candle making in San Francisco, where you'll craft your own beautiful botanical soy candle from start to finish -- no experience necessary!

In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore natural candle making using eco-friendly soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and dried botanical elements like herbs, petals, and blooms. You'll melt and scent the wax, decorate, and pour your own 8oz candle with an approximate 40-hour burn time.

Here's how the class flows:

5–10 min: Welcome and introduction
10 min: Choosing your scent and botanical elements (we provide a curated selection of fragrances and botanicals in the studio)
10 min: Learning the basics of soy wax candle making -- temperatures, fragrance ratios, and botanical placement
10 min: Candle making instructions -- how to work with the materials, safety, and techniques
~2 hours: Hands-on candle making experience where you create your own custom botanical candle

Whether you're coming solo, with friends, or as a team activity, this workshop is a perfect way to unwind, explore your creativity, and take home something lovely. Bring your creativity -- we'll handle the rest!

Recent reviews of Candle and Bloom Workshop

5/5 from Leona Black, attended Nov 2026: This workshop was so much fun! Kadir was such a pleasant instructor and everyone enjoyed him! This was for a work event and I would recommend it for anyone interested in getting their team together to do an activity like this. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
1/5 from Melissa Goodell, attended Jul 2026: I do not recommend this class. Our instructor was stretched across several art activities in a studio, probably 40 students to one instructor. She did not give us any direction without us having to ask several questions and her forgetting to tell us numerous steps. I don’t blame her, she had a lot going on, but I learned hardly anything, and when I got home the wax in my candles had deflated and are unusable. Way too expensive for the experience.
5/5 from Kimya Baradaran, attended May 2026: Natasha was so nice and made the experience personal and lovely for my mom’s bday! Highly recommend :)
5/5 from Demarqus Wiggins, attended May 2026: Natasha was an amazing teacher! Being able to explain how to create a smell that we would like. She showed us the math behind making scents and a good scent. That created our beautiful candles. Thank you! We will be returning to another class soon
5/5 from Blake Simpson, attended May 2026: Absolutely wonderful and completely fun! Scented candle making - beyond expected!! Natasha is a attentive and involved instructor. Relaxed, no pressure environment.. I've never made a candle before and now I am accomplished... I get to enjoy the moment going forward. Winner!
2/5 from Connor Carion, attended May 2026: The teachers were friendly and funny, but the overall experience was unorganized and frustrating. When we showed up to the event location, we buzzed the door according to the instructions, but no one answered and we were stuck waiting outside for 10 minutes until someone leaving the building opened the door. I also tried calling and texting the number in my confirmation email, but got no response after calling and buzzing the door multiple times. When we got inside, there was only one person working there and they were already facilitating another large team event. They told us that they mixed up the schedule and thought we were another group. As a result, our activity was rushed, our instructor changed halfway through, and we did not receive the level of support or preparedness that I would have expected for the amount of money paid.
5/5 from Jennifer Phoenix, attended Apr 2026: We had a fun time! The class provided a flexible learning space where we could explore and try different approaches. Excited to check out more classes.
5/5 from Von Geneve, attended Apr 2026: We had another fun time with Mr. Scientist. His energy & kindness is infectious with a teaching style that is informative & creative. We made scented candles with multiple essential oils. We love the layout, organization & space of the studio. In addition to the hospitality, this was another one for the books. We'll definitely be back again. Thanks for helping create another memorable experience!
5/5 from Vrinda Jhawar, attended Apr 2026: Great class, team had fun!
5/5 from Erin Harrison, attended Apr 2026: We had a blast with Candle and Bloom Workshop! Mr. Scientist brought a fantastic vibe the moment we entered the room! Music was playing, lovely scents were wafting throught the air. The candle creation was really enjoyable! We are already considering what our next workshop will be as we will definitely be inviting them again in future! Thank you so much!
5/5 from Natalie Mercuri, attended Feb 2026: Very fun! Host was really engaging and enjoyed all the options for candle making
5/5 from Olga Prakapenkava, attended Jan 2026: The class was great, our team enjoted mixing the scents & the colors for our candles.
5/5 from Curt Scully, attended Jan 2026: Evan was great!
5/5 from Taylor Matel, attended Nov 2025: This was so fun! The teacher was so helpful and we had such a good time :)
5/5 from Poly Vela-Victa, attended Nov 2025: Kadir was an excellent teacher and host!! Would do it again!!
5/5 from Michael Gebhardt, attended Oct 2025: Amazing class! Perfect for a day-date with my bride.
5/5 from Cristiana Palmieri, attended Oct 2025: The class was relaxing and Keith was a fun and caring host. The “lab” is full of fun workshops all around, so nice to see and feel the vibrant atmosphere.
5/5 from Sabrina, attended Oct 2025: The candle making class was fun and straightforward. There were many scents to choose from and pretty dried flowers to decorate with. I picked the white tea and grapefruit scents - can't wait to use my candle when it's ready!
5/5 from Stephanie Boudreau, attended Oct 2025: Our small team had a great time making our candles. The option to mix scents to create the perfect scent for the calendar was a lot of fun. It also sparked some really interesting conversations.
5/5 from Anshika Kumar, attended Sep 2025: The teacher was amazing, helped us with everything. Nice and cozy workshop. Was very relaxing.
5/5 from Breona Robison, attended Sep 2025: I had the most amazing time working with Keith! I can’t wait to go back.
5/5 from Lorie Nachlis, attended Sep 2025: Fun project with my granddaughter. Good instructions and relaxed atmosphere.
5/5 from Alicia Chen, attended Aug 2025: We thought we would miss out on candle making today bc the instructor wasn’t able to join. But Keith and Colby were amazing with upgrading us to making Moroccan lamps, Turkish delights and coffee and tea. Keith also made his debuting candles with Jasmine and lemon infused wax for each of us. Such a delightful and surprising experience!!
