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.

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:

- 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:

United StatesAmazing Experience
This was my first candle making class but definitely not my last. I’ve learned so much new information about making clean candles. High recommend if you are interested in making candles as a hobby or to start a business.
United StatesEngaging and Educational
I worked with Mélanie at one of events and was excited to be invited to attend her class as a participant. Mélanie is an excellent teacher and host. She is thorough when instructing and answering questions. She's also very generous with her knowledge of candle making, fragrance, and being a small business owner. Some of the other participants were starting or expanding their own businesses, so there was good discussion and sharing between everyone. And!!! We event got to have two complimentary glasses of bubbly and a 10% discount at the wine store the class in located in. I seriously had a great time and learned so much! It was relaxing, informative and genuinely fun lol. I highly recommend! Merci Mélanie :)
United StatesLoved the candle making class!
I really had fun during this class. My boyfriend booked it as a surprise date because he knows I love candles. I always wanted to learn how to make my own but the youtube tutorials are not that great. So happy I took this class. We made 2 candles (one lotion candle) and I can wait to burn them.
