Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this candle making class:

Learn the power and skills to create a healthy, fragrant, natural candle you can feel really good about burning in your home.

The class is approximately 1.5 hours and organized into 2 parts, theory and practice.

Part I includes the following topics:

  • Why making natural candles are better for your health and the environment.
  • The variety of ingredients needed to make a natural candle, how to select and where to source them.
  • The equipment required to make your own candles, a tutorial on how to use it safely and effectively, as well as where you can purchase it.
  • A unique recipe to make scented natural candles.
  • The testing guidelines, advice & legal requirements to sell your own candles.

Part II of the class will be the actual practice of making candles, the most fun part!

We will work together to create 2 types of candles:

  • Lotion candle
    • when burned, the melted wax can actually be used as a moisturizing agent on your skin, making it ideal for that relaxing spa-like atmosphere you’re going for in your home. 
  • Standard natural scented candle
    • Utilizing 100% soy or coconut wax with pure oil fragrance, we will make candles you can be proud to burn in any room of the house.

You will leave the class with:

  • An extensive knowledge about candles and the natural ingredients required to make them yourself
  • 2 x natural scented candles (standard & lotion) that you created yourself

    This class was fantastic. Melanie was a ball of fire and very knowledgeable. She is very willing to share most of her tips and tricks to help your hobby become more consistent or maybe even a business. She will answer any questions that you may have limiting to proprietary secrets, naturally. Haha. I would continue to take classes with her if she offered more advanced classes in the future. All and all, great class and you won't be disappointed.

    I enjoyed this class. We had a small group and Melanie was very thorough with her information. I enjoyed that stressed the important of natural ingredients. She answered all your questions and was willing to share where she has taken fragrance classes at. I’m happy with my candle and cannot wait to burn it.

    Melanie is full of passion and enthusiasm about her candle making. Good class for a beginner. I've learned a lot about the craft.

    Anonymous review on 11/18/2019
    I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot about both buying and making candles. Melanie, the teacher, is clearly super knowledgeable and informed about the industry, and she was very patient in answering the class's many, many, many questions. I enjoyed the way the class was structured and the fact that it was a pretty small group. You will come away from this class knowing how to make your own soy and coconut wax-based candles and what to look for when buying candles.

    Small space with a small group which made the class more personal. Melanie greeted me warmly and made me feel right at home. She had donuts and coffee waiting for us as well which was nice of her. The class started on time but we were waiting for another girl to join. Melanie was so understanding of this and made no big deal to go back over the material the person had missed. I am currently making candles myself so I wanted to learn from a pro to make sure I was on the right track. I have almost every piece of material that she makes candles with at home and a good amount of info I was aware of so I felt confident in my current work. I found her very knowledgeable in a lot of areas. Her pouring technique is amazing and I am going to give it a try at home. If this works as well as it did with the ones we made, I’m on the right path to success. She gave me some great ideas for scents and she provided a ton of sites to get more supplies. I’d take her class again

    From start to finish, this was an absolutely amazing experience. Melanie is super friendly and it is evident that she has a passion, not only for making candles, but for teaching others the craft. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has an amazing ability of sharing her knowledge in a way that it easy for anyone to understand. She provided us with an information packet, which she went through with us during each step of the process. We made two candles, one being a lotion candle (which I’d never even heard of, but let me tell you it is SO cool!). Melanie was thorough in discussing all of the tools you need to get started, and provided information as to where you can purchase everything. She also went into depth as to why natural candles are the best option and explained the dangers of items such as paraffin and phalates. This course was great for those just looking for a hobby, but also for people who would like to go into business. There’s so many aspects of starting a business and Melanie really provided vital information about how to start one. She’s truly a beautiful soul who made each of us feel inspired, motivated, and confident. If she ever hosts another class, I’ll be the first one to sign up.
