Kelham Makes: Make Your Own Aromatherapy Poured Candles

Sat 7 February 2026 , 10am-3:30pm

Kelham Island Museum

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 gift to do with a special someone, or make some candles to give as a beautiful unique present.  

 

Kim Searle runs Darn It! Workshops across the country, delivering creative sessions in venues including festivals, galleries and community spaces. With a focus on sustainability and well-being, Kim is passionate about facilitating workshops that build communities and encouraging accessibility. Kim also co runs Thread Republic, a Textile Reuse Hub in Huddersfield.
