Learn the art of making beautiful, natural candles with this virtual class! In this engaging candle-making class, you will have the opportunity to learn how to create your clean-burning coconut wax candles in the comfort of your own home. Your guides, Lindsay and Marla, are passionate about candle-making and setting a fun and welcoming environment for learning. We have been making and selling candles for 27 years!
Throughout the class, we will walk you through the process of creating a gorgeous scent and pouring the wax into a beautiful vessel. You will be provided with a candle-making kit that includes all ingredients necessary to make a high-quality, natural product.
  • Led by experienced chandlers, this class will help you discover all of the secrets to making candles at home for yourself or for gifts.
  • You'll pick up plenty of tips and tricks as you follow the process of making candles.
  • You'll melt the wax, adding the fragrance and color(s) of your choice, wick your gorgeous jar, and pour your candle! Then you'll select dried flowers (optional) to add to the top of your wax for a customized accent.
  • Our experienced teacher will guide you through each of the candle-making processes.
  • You will have the chance to ask any questions that may arise during the class.
  • Rush shipping is available, subject to additional fees.
  • Currently, we need two weeks to plan and prepare your ingredients. Our turnaround time will shorten by October 1 when we will have our kits in stock for the holiday rush.
With plenty of guidance and support from Lindsay and Marla, this class is perfect to enjoy for virtual wellness team-building activities where everyone gets to take home a handmade creation.
