You’re about to blend ancient craft with your wildest candle ideas in a 90-minute candle making class that smells as good as it sounds! Set in a cozy Los Angeles workshop, this hands-on experience is one of the most creative things to do in Los Angeles -- whether you’re going solo, bringing a crew, or looking for genuinely great date ideas. Your experienced scent designer guides you through the history of the company, the art of scent design, and the science behind how to make a candle that’s truly yours, inspired by your favorite tabletop adventure, player character, fantasy novel, or whatever story lives in your heart.
The class is designed to be welcoming, low-pressure, and genuinely fun -- you don’t need any background in candle making to thrive here. Aprons are provided, and the team walks you through everything step by step, so all you need to bring is your imagination and closed-toed shoes. Every person attending needs their own ticket, and a quick liability waiver gets signed at the start since hot wax is involved (totally non-toxic, just handled with care).
When your candle is done, it’ll need 24 to 48 hours to fully cure, and you can pick it up at the storefront during regular hours or arrange shipping for a small additional cost. It’s one of those creative activities that ends with something real, something scented, and something that’s completely, unmistakably you!
Safety:
Candle making involves the use of hot wax and fragrance oils. While everything we work with is non-toxic it does have an intended use. Aprons will be provided to protect clothing but please do not wear any open toed shoes or long flowing sleeves. In addition, a liability waiver must be signed at the start of the class.

Yes! We charge a small shipping fee at the time of the class.
Is there on-site parking?
Unfortunately, on-site parking is not available, however, we recommend people ride-share, car-pool, or park in the nearby neighborhoods or across the bridge on Serrano Ave. The neighboring parking lot is not available to our customers.

Cantrip Candles is a small-batch artisan candle company born from a love of tabletop gaming and the belief that great storytelling deserves great atmosphere. Founded by Christoff, a devoted game night host who noticed something was missing from the table — scent — the brand set out to fill that gap with candles crafted specifically for the TTRPG community and fantasy enthusiasts alike. What started as a hands-on hobby experiment quickly grew into something much bigger, fueled by genuine passion and a tight-knit team of fellow gamers and creatives.
Every Cantrip candle is hand-poured in small batches using 100% natural soy wax, fine fragrance oils, and cotton wicks, keeping things vegan, thoughtful, and quality-tested to make sure each scent actually smells like what it promises. From evocative collections inspired by ancient forests and high deserts to collaborations with games and artists, Cantrip Candles invites everyone — whether they're rolling dice around a table or just craving a little magic at home — to light a candle and let the adventure begin.
