Restored Apothecary

Hi, I’m Lori -- candle artist, creative workshop host, and lover of all things cozy and beautiful! My journey with candles started in 2012, when I began experimenting with hand-pouring and custom designs in my home studio. What started as a wholesale business grew to supply over 35 boutiques across the Southeast. Over time, I realized my favorite part wasn’t just making candles — it was sharing the experience with others.That’s what inspired me to create Restored Apothecary Candle Bar: a space where people can gather, connect, and discover the joy of candle-making together. Our candle-making workshops are designed to spark creativity while offering a break from the busyness of everyday life. Guests can explore custom scents, design candle bouquets, and even craft cocktail-inspired candles — all while enjoying charcuterie boards, mocktails, and styled tablescapes that turn each workshop into a celebration. From birthday parties and bachelorette gatherings to team-building events and girls’ nights out, Restored Apothecary has become a go-to spot for anyone looking for something fun, beautiful, and memorable.What I love most is watching people walk out the door with not only a one-of-a-kind candle, but also the glow of having shared laughter, creativity, and connection. If you’re someone who values cozy vibes, hands-on fun, and meaningful moments, you’ll feel right at home here!
