what students are saying
Looking for a fun and creative experience in Sydney? Join us at Made By Me Workshop in St Peters for an immersive candle-making class where you’ll design and pour your own luxurious soy wax candles, blended with a fragrance that’s uniquely yours. Whether you’re crafting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this hands-on workshop will teach you the art of candle making from start to finish.
Why choose our candle-making workshop?
We offer one of Sydney’s largest selections of fragrances, along with expert guidance on fragrance blending. You’ll learn how top, middle, and base notes interact to create a well-balanced scent, and how to use the fragrance wheel to craft a blend that tells a story, evokes memories, or simply delights the senses.
What you’ll learn:
- The different types of wax and why we use premium soy wax
- How to blend fragrances like a pro, using the fragrance wheel
- The difference between fragrance oils and essential oils
- The right temperatures for melting and pouring wax
- How to calculate the perfect wax-to-fragrance ratio for a strong scent throw
- Wick selection for a clean, even burn
- Tips for creating high-quality, long-lasting candles
What you’ll make:
You’ll create one or two large soy wax candles (depending on your choice) using high-quality materials to ensure a professional finish.
