WORKSHOPS
What We Offer
Our candle‑making workshops are a cozy, hands‑on experience designed for groups who want to create something meaningful together.
Perfect for team outings, book clubs, birthdays, bridal parties, or creative gatherings, each workshop accommodates a minimum of 6 guests and ideally no more than 20 to keep the experience personal and immersive. Workshop scents can be customized or be chosen from a curated selection of scents. Participants also have the option to customize their candle size: 6oz or 8oz, with optional add‑ons like car diffusers, room sprays, or mini 3oz candles for an elevated experience.
Pricing varies based on your group size, chosen products, and whether you already have a space reserved or need us to provide one. Every workshop is crafted to feel warm, welcoming, and delightfully bookish, a chance to slow down, pour something beautiful, and leave with a scent that tells your story.
If you’re unsure which workshop option is the best fit for your group, or you have questions about scents, add‑ons, or logistics, please reach out. I’m always happy to help you dream up a creative, bookish experience that feels personal, memorable, and perfectly tailored to your gathering. Whether you’re planning a celebration, a team event, or a cozy night with friends, I’d love to help you bring a little story‑soaked magic to your time together.

We plan most candle-making workshops to last about 2 hours. This includes about 60-90 minutes of actual candlemaking. The rest of the time accounts for the candles cooling to be hardened and so you can take it home that day. Candles will need to sit for about a week before they are ready to be lit. That time allows them to cure and fully absorb the fragrance.
-
Workshops are flexible on location. If you have a location, I can come to you. Otherwise, we can set a location based on the area you are wanting. If the workshop is more than 25 miles from downtown Columbia, there will be a travel fee added.
