Hand-Poured Candle Making


Adult Enrichment / Fine Arts & Crafts -
Winter 2026

Create a coconut soy-based candle and a set of wax melts that release their scent when heated. Learn the essentials of candle making, from selecting waxes, wicks, colors, and fragrances to exploring a bit of candle history. Then combine your favorite color and fragrance to pour your own shaped candle and a set of fragrant wax melts. Leave with your custom creations and the know-how to keep experimenting at home.

Fun Fact! This class is offered for families too. See Family Classes for more information.
