About this Event

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

A cozy twist on the traditional candle-making class! Celebrate the beauty of early fall by creating your own large, floral-inspired candle.


Step into a warm, inviting space and enjoy a relaxing candle-making experience inspired by the rich colors, delicate blooms, and cozy atmosphere of autumn. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create a beautiful three-wick candle in an elegant matte mocha vessel, then transform it into a stunning seasonal centerpiece with handcrafted floral decorations.

Personalize your candle with beautiful dried flowers, a variety of fall-inspired blooms, colorful autumn leaves, and elegant botanical details that capture the warmth and beauty of the season. Along the way, you’ll explore a curated collection of cozy fall fragrances and learn the fundamentals of candle making while creating a one-of-a-kind candle that’s perfect for your home or as a thoughtful seasonal gift.

No experience is needed. Come ready to relax, get creative, and celebrate the beauty of autumn.



What You’ll Do


Choose your signature scent

Explore a curated selection of fragrance oils inspired by fall, from warm pumpkin spice and crisp apple to cozy vanilla, cinnamon, cedarwood, amber, and other comforting autumn favorites. Find the fragrance that captures your perfect fall mood.

Create and pour your candle

Learn the basics of candle making as you create your candle from start to finish. You’ll place your wicks, blend your chosen fragrance with melted wax, and carefully pour your candle into an elegant matte mocha vessel. Your finished candle features three wicks and becomes a beautiful statement piece for the season.

Enjoy a creative pause while your candle cures

While your candle sets, enjoy a relaxing creative break by designing a seasonal bookmark with fun stickers, simple illustrations, and personal touches. It’s a playful keepsake and a wonderful way to continue the creative experience while your candle cures.

Discover the art of floral candle decoration

Once your candle is ready, you’ll be guided through an elegant finishing technique using a curated collection of handcrafted wax flowers, beautiful dried flowers, fall-inspired botanicals, colorful autumn leaves, and delicate floral accents prepared by the instructor. Arrange your decorations to create a candle that reflects your personal style and celebrates the elegance and warmth of the fall season.

Take home your finished piece

Leave with a one-of-a-kind handcrafted floral fall candle, thoughtfully created from start to finish. At approximately 15 ounces, your finished candle makes a beautiful seasonal centerpiece to enjoy throughout autumn or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.
