Join us and create your own scented candles using all-natural soy wax. 

 

In this session, you’ll learn how to blend your own bespoke scents and essential oils to create a harmonious tailored scent, before pouring it into a unique vessel including apothecary jars, jam jars and vintage teacups. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to make at least two candles. 

This workshop would make a perfect festive experience to enjoy with a special someone, or a chance to create make some candles to give as a beautiful, unique present.
