About this Event

Prelude to Mothers Day: Candle Making Session!

In this workshop, you will get the chance to make your own candle from my brand. The Limited Edition “Nettoyer" candle line. “Nettoyer” is the French verb which translates “To Clean” in English and this small batch, seasonal candle is our odor removing candle with Bergamot, Lemon Element and Ginger Spice.

In addition to making your own candle, we will discuss

1. The simple art of candle making.

2. Wax and wicks.

3. Candle burning: how to and safety.

4. Debunking myths around scented candles.

5. How to start making candles, as a hobby or a business idea.

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with

1. Your candle that you made

2. Complementary mini samples of By Thompson’s signature candles.

3. Voucher for future purchases.


All materials will be provided including a luxurious 12oz candle vessel (jar), wicks, wax, glue guns for wick adhesion, oils and labels and final product labels.
