Recent reviews of Custom Candle Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Nneki Noni Edwards, attended Nov 2026: Soooo much fun!!!!
  • 5/5 from Zarahia Perdomo, attended May 2026: Had a great time smelling candles to see what type of smells that are for me to make my own candle that just for me. Everything was at a great pace and explained very well.
  • 5/5 from Julia Pedraza, attended Feb 2026: Teacher was very informative.
  • 5/5 from Kathy Cavallero, attended Jan 2026: The class was very friendly and started with learning about fragrances. This was eye opening because it is done unlabeled so there is no pre conceived idea of what you like or don’t. It was a fun experience. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys candles.

JIĀ Home Co. was founded at the intersection of a career in the wine industry, a lifelong passion for candle making, and the cultural upbringing of an AAPI woman. “Jiā, ” the Chinese word for home and family, reflects the heart of the brand -- a nostalgic collection of home fragrances designed to tell a story with every burn. Each candle represents a connection to AAPI roots, celebrating not only the founder’s own heritage but a broader cultural narrative often missing from the fragrance industry.
All candles are hand-poured in California using all-natural soy wax, eco-friendly materials, and clean fragrances free from phthalates, carcinogens, and toxins. Even the smallest details -- such as lead- and zinc-free cotton wicks -- are chosen with care to ensure a product that is as safe as it is beautiful.
