Light It Up: Candle-Making Workshop

What you'll do:

In this fun class, you'll pour and customize 3 natural soy wax candles using wood wicks and a variety of aromatic scents.

Learn the basics of candle making — including the differences between wax types, wick styles, and essential oils — while adding your own creative flair.

Why we love it for your party:

• You’ll leave with candles as cute as they are custom (Pick your scent, pour your wax, and create a trio of candles that are totally you)

• It’s relaxing, creative, and smells amazing (This is the kind of DIY that soothes your senses while sparking your imagination)

• Perfect for sipping while you pour (BYOB and turn this into a full-on candle-pouring happy hour with your crew)

• Set in the heart of Old Town charm (Make a day of it with shopping, dining, and exploring the historic streets of Alexandria)

• No experience necessary, just good vibes (Our friendly instructors make it easy, fun, and totally beginner-friendly)
