What you'll do
If you've always wanted to learn how to create your own natural wax candles, this class in NYC will break it down for you in an engaging, immersive experience.
Your guide is Marla Bosworth, who is a long-time teacher and expert chandler - that's another way of saying candle maker! She will take you through each step as you learn how to make customized candles using natural waxes with your preferred scents and colors.
What you'll learn

- How to choose wicks
You will learn how to make one soy candle and one coconut wax candle in glass jars that perfectly encapsulate the relaxing vibes that make a handmade candle special.
Marla will also walk you through the information you need to sell your candles, like labeling, testing, and resources for packaging. Even if you only want to learn DIY candle making for fun, you will enjoy this comprehensive class that's just as good for beginners as it is for anyone with a bit of experience.
Please note:
This teacher's travel surcharge depends on the destination, ranging from $150-$250 and will be added once the initial booking is paid for.
At the end of your time, you will have your personalized candles to burn and enjoy and the knowledge to make more!
