Step into the warm glow of our studio this Christmas season—where joy, creativity, and festive magic come alive!
In this special holiday workshop, you’ll craft a one-of-a-kind candle that’s more than just fragrance—it’s a little piece of Christmas cheer made by your own hands. Choose from our beautiful artisan porcelain cups, each ready to bring a touch of festive sparkle to your home. Then, fill the air with your favourite seasonal scents as you pour, blend, and decorate your candle. Guided by our experienced instructor, you’ll learn the art of candle making—from melting natural soy wax to adding your own special touches with colours, botanicals, or even a secret holiday message hidden within the wax. As your candle burns, your message will slowly be revealed—spreading warmth, light, and a touch of Christmas wonder long after the workshop ends. During the final decorating stage, you’ll also get to adopt a festive Christmas wax accessory—a little ornament to sit atop your candle, like a mini tree or star. If you fall in love with more than one, you can adopt additional pieces for $10 each. By the end of this heartwarming experience, you’ll leave with a beautifully handcrafted candle—perfect for gifting, brightening your holiday décor, or lighting on a cozy December evening.
