What you'll do:

You'll spend 1 hour and 45 minutes crafting your own beeswax candles from scratch, guided by an instructor who walks you through every step, from melting and pouring to scent blending and crystal placement.

• Choose your mold - Pick from 7oz glass jars, woman body molds, flower molds, or ceramic pots to shape a candle that fits your style.

• Blend your scent - Mix essential oils to build a fragrance that's personal to you, with guidance on how different scents interact and what they evoke.

• Set the temperature - Learn how to control heat for a clean pour and smooth finish, one of the core techniques that separates a good candle from a great one.

• Add crystals and intention - Select from a curated collection of crystals to decorate your candle and personalize the meaning behind what you made.

• Pour and finish - Watch your candle take shape, then let it set while your instructor shares tips for recreating the process at home.

You'll leave with one to two finished candles you actually made, a new skill, and a genuinely good time with your group.

Why we love it for your party:

• All materials included - Every mold, oil, crystal, wick, and tool is provided, so your group just shows up and gets into it.

• Multiple mold options - Four different vessel styles mean everyone in your group can make something that feels like theirs.

• Small group format - The studio setting keeps things personal, with instructors able to give real attention to each person.

• Take-home candles - Every guest leaves with one to two finished candles, which makes this a great alternative to a favor bag.

• Works for mixed groups - Whether your crew is crafty or has never made anything, the instruction is hands-on and approachable for everyone.
