Learn candle making
Needless to say, I love making candles.
I love experimenting with new ideas and natural ingredients to make beautiful new aromas or exciting new twists on popular fragrances.
But what I love most about Artisane Candle Atelier is that it gives me a platform to teach.
I care deeply about what I create. And I want to share it with others who I know I can help with my craft – either because they want to experience the joy of candle making, or because they enjoy candles but need natural, non-toxic blends to avoid the headaches or allergic reactions that can come from consumer brands.
In Artisane Candle Atelier’s classes you will learn the skills to create healthy, fragrant, natural candles from start to finish using the simplest ingredients.
You’ll learn how to use all the tools in an expert candle maker’s kit to shape beautifully scented candles you’ll be thrilled to burn in your home or give as heartfelt gifts to your loved ones.
Each class at Artisane Candle Atelier lasts about an hour-and-a-half and is organized into two sections – theory and practice.Theory
First, you’ll learn a bit of the history behind the art of candle making.
You’ll learn the basic ingredients needed to make a candle, the role each ingredient plays in producing the final product, and how to select and source the best nature has to offer.
I’ll also explain why natural candles are better than synthetic alternatives for both your health and the environment.
Finally, I’ll introduce you to the tools and equipment you’ll need to take those natural ingredients and transform them into a beautiful, fragrant candle.
I’ll show you where you can purchase these tools and give you a brief tutorial on how to use them safely and effectively.
I’ll even show you how to test your products for quality. And I’ll give you some advice on steps you can take to begin selling your own candles.
Practice
Next, we will select your unique recipes for your own scented, natural candles.
And we’ll get our hands dirty!
In each class we’ll work together to create two types of candle:
1. Lotion Candle
A lotion candle is more than just a candle. It’s also a wonderful moisturizer!
When burned, the melted wax contains natural moisturizing elements that you can use to soften and brighten your skin.
Artisane Candle Atelier’s lotion candles are perfect for creating that spa-like atmosphere right in your own home or apartment.
It’s a two-for-one you’ll quickly learn to love!
2. Natural Scented Candle
We’ll also help you create your own 100% soy or coconut wax natural scented candle with pure oil fragrances of your choice.
We promise to leave you with something that will brighten and infuse any room in your house with the natural aromas you love!
And they won’t leave you feeling sick!
Along with your two scented candles, you’ll leave the class with an extensive knowledge of candle making and of the natural ingredients you can use to make them yourself!
Best of all, the classes are fun, entertaining, and full of valuable information that you can take with you wherever you go!
I love meeting and mingling with my students, whether they are seasoned candle makers looking for new ideas or whether they have never stepped into a candle shop in their lives.
I would love to see you in one of our upcoming classes! Book here.
