Candle Making Classes NYC
Candle making is suitable for beginners
Whether you’re an expert at DIY projects or you’re a complete beginner, our candle workshops are the perfect place to start if you’re curious about homemade candles. A friendly local maker will be your guide, helping you master the basics. You’ll learn the difference between beeswax, coconut, and soy wax candles and how to pour your candles like a pro.
The best part is exploring all the scents! You can learn how to combine different fragrance oils or choose one favorite for a signature candle all your own. Fancy candles can be expensive so it’s exciting to learn a skill that you can use to make your own products. The best part is being transported by your chosen fragrance every time you light your candle. Whether it's clean and citrusy like a summer afternoon or sweet and smokey for cozy winter weekends at home, you'll appreciate being able to set the mood with your DIY candles.
You’ll find our workshops in Manhattan, Queens, or Brooklyn, and our teachers can travel to you if you are planning a party or team engagement activity. No matter what you’re event, your teacher will take care of the details so everyone has an amazing time. Plan a chill bachelorette party with a group of friends or a creative weekend with your bestie that includes a workshop for beginners.
What materials and tools to expect at candle making classes
Our candle workshops are designed to put everyone at ease and make the process accessible no matter what your skill level. When you show up for class, your teacher will have all the supplies ready for you.
You'll learn about the different natural waxes you can use and which wicks work best with each. You'll have access to wooden wicks, fabric wicks, and more to create your ideal custom candle. Your teacher will give you the tools to melt wax and infuse it with your chosen fragrances. Pick your favorite type of vessel and learn how to pour your candles perfectly every time. You'll have lots of opportunities to ask questions and learn new skills, while hanging out in a chill setting.
Need alternative bachelorette party ideas? Making candles lets you get together to share something creative. You’ll love being able to hang out and make something to remind you of your time together.
If you’re looking for team building activities, or a corporate candle making NYC experience lets everyone work on a craft project that will take their mind off of work. Best of all, your teammates will leave their class with something they can enjoy at home.
Best studios to make your own candle in NYC
Step into Artisane NYC in Queens and you'll meet founder Melanie and have the chance to create your own natural candles using coconut wax, soy wax and scented with pure oil fragrance. You'll walk away with two hand-poured candles ready to transform your living space into a cosy sanctuary.
Take a trip to Manhattan and you'll discover Back Porch Soap Co, a natural skincare company that has been around since the late 90s'. With founder Marla Bosworth as your guide you'll be pouring, scenting and your natural candles in no time. You can even choose from a range of colors.
Candle making in NYC is great for your wellbeing
With everyone talking about self-care these days, it’s easy to see how burning a beautifully scented candle can lift your mood and lower stress. You can use candles to fill your home with a lovely sense of calm or light one when you take a relaxing bath.
When you make your own candles in NYC, you can ensure you have the scents you enjoy the most and the type of wax that burns cleanly. Take the time to unplug from the day and surround yourself with mellow vibes from your custom-made candles.
If you want to learn from the comfort of home, you can take a candle making class online. With all of the supplies you need delivered to your door, you can unwind while learning a crafty new skill. Your teacher will cover all the bases in your virtual class and demonstrate all the steps as you go along. Even if you've never tried anything like this before, you'll be able to pick up the skills to create a personalized scented candle in your kitchen. This is a fun way to include loved ones who live far away or plan a virtual team building activity with your colleagues and get a beautifully scented reminder of your time together when you are done!
