Dive into the world of non-toxic, plant-based candle-making at this creative and sustainable workshop in Brooklyn! In this hands-on experience, you’ll learn to craft your own vegan candles using soy wax, essential oils, and repurposed wine bottles, all while gaining a deeper understanding of the benefits of plant-based ingredients.
The class kicks off with a brief history of candle-making, highlighting the use of animal fats in traditional candles and the harmful chemicals found in modern paraffin wax. You’ll also discover why choosing vegan waxes is not only a healthier option for you but also a more ethical and eco-friendly choice, due to their renewable nature, biodegradability, and non-toxic properties.
Once you’ve learned the fundamentals, you’ll dive into the process of candle-making. Your instructor will guide you through the steps of melting soy wax, blending scents, pouring candles, and properly wicking them to ensure an even burn. You’ll also get to customize your candle’s fragrance, choosing essential oils known for their aromatherapy benefits.
Here’s where it gets even more exciting—you’ll pour your candle into a repurposed wine bottle, embracing sustainability by giving new life to what would otherwise be waste. While your candle cools, you’ll get hands-on and cut and sand your own wine bottle, crafting a new vessel for the next visitor.
This candle making workshop is perfect for anyone in Brooklyn looking to incorporate more sustainable practices into their life. Whether you’re new to candle-making or a DIY enthusiast, you’ll leave with a beautifully crafted, eco-friendly candle and the skills to keep making more. Plus, you’ll meet like-minded people who share a passion for creativity and sustainability.

Recent reviews of Vegan Candle Making with Reused Wine Bottles Class

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended May 2025: The Vegan Candle Making with Reused Wine Bottles Class was extremely enjoyable. Gina; the instructor; was very personable and friendly. I enjoyed my time with her. Class began with selecting a container that had been cut from a wine bottle. Next step sandpapering the container to ensure no burrs and stuff. After cleansing with alcohol, we instructed on how to attach wich; choice of wood or waxed thread. Remainder of class was selecting the fragrance or fragences desired (GIna then used a formula to determine how many drops of fragrance should be used to act as a top, middle and base. After the determination, each person used the recommended number of drops into a stainless pouring jar. Then a selection of dyes; powdered and liquid; and solid items such as rosehip; eucalyptus, hibiscus and similar were available if desired to add. Finally, 8 oz of soy and beeswax; Gina's prefered wax offering; was poured on the fragrance(s) and other ingredientsin the stainless steel jar. After mixing, the wax was poured into your container, continuing to mix as pouring. Then the newly poured candle was set aside to cool. Each student was requested to bring an empty wine bottle; to replenish used supply; and then after done with candle was demostrated on how to cut the bottle into a rough container for the next class. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and look forward to taking other classed with Gina.
