Hi! We’re the founders of Noorvaan, a NYC-based candle studio inspired by South Asian scents and the warmth of home ️. We actually began candle-making by accident. One slow evening we melted wax on the stove “just to try it, ” and we were instantly hooked. The process felt calming, creative, and meaningful. That first pour lit something in us (pun fully intended ️).
Everything changed when we invited a few friends to make candles with us. Watching people connect, relax, laugh, and proudly show off a candle they made with their own hands made us realize that this craft can bring people together in the most beautiful way. That moment sparked the start of Noorvaan.
Why We Love Teaching????
Teaching candle-making brings us so much joy because it gives people a chance to slow down and create something beautiful. We love watching guests choose their scent, blend their wax, and pour with intention. It becomes a small escape from the city, wrapped in fragrance and creativity. Our workshops are warm, fun, beginner-friendly, and personal.
A Fun Fact About Our Craft
Most people don’t realize how technical candle-making can be. We spend countless hours perfecting our coconut–soy–beeswax blend, testing wick sizes, and fine-tuning scent throw. Every fragrance we offer has its own story, often inspired by South Asian culture or NYC nights.
Our Experience and Credibility
Since launching, we’ve taught many workshops across NYC, partnered with cafés, cocktail bars, and community spaces, and welcomed students of all ages. We’ve hosted sellout classes, team-bonding events, and creative pop-ups, and the feedback we receive keeps us glowing.
We aren’t formally trained in fine arts, but we are dedicated, self-taught makers who have poured hundreds of hours into perfecting our craft. Everything we do comes from passion, precision, and the desire to offer an elevated candle-making experience for every guest.
At Noorvaan, our mission is simple: to share warmth, culture, creativity, and joy, one candle and one class at a time ️.
