  • 5/5 from Mary Ann Steffanie, attended Sep 2026: Took a class with my friends. Kelly was an excellent teacher and I was surprised how much I didn’t know about candles. Atmosphere was comfortable. Loved the trivia game.
  • 5/5 from Denice Hutsch, attended Sep 2026: This was one of the Best classes I’ve taken. The class supplies are high quality. The instructor provides instruction enhanced with candle trivia both useful and interesting! Fun, creative and productive - I recommend this class to all!
  • 5/5 from Wanda Mignucci, attended Sep 2026: Very entertaining and fun class to do with a group of friends, team building activity or family fun time. Highly recommend as their candles are soy and lead free wicks, the extensive scent choices makes this a unique experience.
  • 5/5 from Elena Johnson, attended Sep 2026: A group of 6 ladies went today and had a great time! And it’s not just candlemaking! She entertained us while the candles were curing. It was fun and so many scents to choose from and the best soy candles!!!
  • 5/5 from Dawn Wagner, attended Sep 2026: My neighbors and I had a girls day out and took Kelly’s candle making class. We had so much fun and learned a ton about the candle making process. We also enjoyed some candle shopping and all of us went home with great smelling goodies.
  • 5/5 from Mark Meroney, attended Jul 2026: Really great daytime date activity. I learned a lot about candles and recommend winning trivia!
  • 5/5 from Linda Harrison, attended Jun 2026: My son treated me to a class at Edgewater Candles as a Mother’s Day present two years ago. We had such a great experience so when the last of my candles we made had been burned, I suggested we return. My son, his fiancĂ© and I signed up for a class yesterday. I was impressed with Kelly’s teaching the first time around but she has continued to tweak the presentation to utilize every moment we were there. The entire class had the tools needed with clear concise instructions to make our candles. We were entertained the entire time. At the end, each person in the class had designed three personally unique candles to take home or give as gifts. I highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Joshua Harrison, attended Jun 2026: My mom and I attended a candle-making class at Edgewater Candles for Mother's Day last year, and we had such a wonderful experience that she immediately wanted to come back. We returned this past weekend, this time bringing my fiancĂ©e, Allie, and the three of us had an amazing time together. The candle-making class was fun, engaging, and easy to follow, whether you're completely new to candle making or have done it before. Kelly was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and created a welcoming atmosphere that made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We loved choosing our scents and creating something unique to take home. It's a great activity for family, friends, couples, or anyone looking for a creative and relaxing outing in Austin. We'll definitely be back again and highly recommend Edgewater Candles to anyone looking for a unique experience and some fantastic handmade candles!
  • 5/5 from Alex Dubov, attended Jun 2026: We signed up for a candle making class for my wife's birthday and we had a blast. The class was seven people which was a perfect size for group participation, questions, and conversation while still getting the instruction we wanted. The vibes were high, we were able to bring our own bottle of wine to enjoy during class, and our teacher Kelly gave us a perfect balance of instruction, stories, and insight. We were able to make three candles each and can't wait to enjoy them at home.
  • 5/5 from Kelly Hood, attended May 2026: Super fun activity. Nice blend of instruction on process and the art of burning a candle for its best performance, along with room for creativity on scent selection and label creation. The instructor even threw in a trivia game with prize for the winner. No experience needed—just good listening skills, a desire to learn, and an openness to enjoy the company of others in the class. Great experience.
  • 5/5 from Jamie Blankenship, attended Mar 2026: Made some beautiful candles! We also won a free candle to take home. If your thinking about it -DO IT- this class is an awesome way to spend your morning!
  • 5/5 from Marie Crandall, attended Mar 2026: We scheduled a class because we want to learn how to make candles to build a small business.

It won’t disappoint, you’ll have fun!

  • 5/5 from Kristen McDonald, attended Dec 2025: I attended a class with my mom and we had an amazing time. We learned so much about candle making and even general tips for burning candles at home. There were so many unique scents to choose from and creating labels was a fun artistic endeavor. My mom has early stage Alzheimer's disease and she was still able to participate in this activity and we were able to have a wonderful time, as nothing (except the fun trivia) was too difficult for her. We will cherish this experience!

My background includes over 20 years of restaurant management, a lot of those years spent as a District Trainer. I built the patience required to be a good teacher, and ended up loving every minute of it. I owned an event planning business where all we did were themed corporate events (big, unique ones at that!), and I currently own a junk removal business (IREP - I Recycle Everything Possible) so I can help keep things out of the landfill and put them in the hands of people who need them.
My candle classes are not only informative, but we also incorporate creativity (designing your own scent and labels) as well as fun (trivia game with prizes)!
