I’m the owner of a candle business that blends creativity, calm, and community. I fell in love with candlemaking because it gives me a chance to slow down, work with my hands, and create something beautiful and personal. Running candlemaking classes is one of my favorite parts of the business—there’s something special about watching people tap into their creativity and leave with something they’re proud of. I love creating an experience that’s both relaxing and inspiring. For me, it’s more than just candles—it’s about connection, expression, and joy.

About this activity

In this fun and hands-on candle making class, you’ll learn how to create your own candles from start to finish. We’ll walk you through each step—from choosing your favorite scent to pouring your candle into a stylish container. No experience needed! You’ll leave with two custom candles and the skills to keep making more at home. It’s simple, relaxing, and smells amazing.

What you'll do

Guests will arrive and be welcomed with a brief introduction to the candle making process and materials. The host will give a short overview of the fragrance options, wax types, and the two candle vessels provided—one concrete bust-style and one 2 oz gold container.


  • Step 1: Each guest will choose their two scents from 4–5 fragrance options.
  • Step 2: The host will explain how to prepare the vessels and measure the wax.
  • Step 3: Guests will blend their fragrances and pour them into the melted wax.
  • Step 4: The wax will be poured into the vessels, and wicks will be secured.
  • Step 5: While the candles cool, guests can decorate a label and enjoy light conversation or snacks if provided.
  • Step 6: The host will check each candle to ensure proper setting and clean edges. The candles will then be packaged to take home.

Throughout the class, the host will guide the group step-by-step, ensuring safety and fun. The total class time is about 90 - 120 minutes, depending on group size and cooling time.

What to prepare

Clients don’t need to bring anything—just show up ready to have fun! We’ll provide all the materials you need, including wax, fragrance oils, wicks, candle vessels, tools, and labels. We also take care of setup and cleanup, so you can focus on creating your candles and enjoying the experience.

Booking with Spaciously

Book an activity with a few clicks

To book, follow the secure checkout process on the website. This will reserve your host's time.

If you need extra help with anything, just leave us a note in the Comments field! We're happy to help with food and venue recommendations.

After you check out, you will receive a confirmation email and a receipt. Very shortly after that, our team will reach out to connect you with your host and help with the logistics and questions!

Expect no extra fees or charges

All prices are upfront. There are no extra charges beyond what you pay when you book. In 99% of cases, hosts won't ask for tips because they're already included in the price.

All activities are private

All activities you see on Spaciously are private. You will get a dedicated instructor. You will also get either an entire venue or a section of a venue to yourselves.

All activities are available

If our calendar allows you to pick a date and time, your activity is available! In the rare scenario that your host has an emergency and can't make the date, it's our responsibility to find you a substitute host or a substitute activity quickly. If you don't like the options, we'll send you a full refund.

Ask us a question

We are here to make sure your team gets the event they will enjoy. Helping you find the best activity for your team is the best part of our job. Send us a chat message, a text (415 798-0382) or an email (hello@spaciously.io). If you contact us in the morning or early afternoon, we'll respond in a few minutes.

Trust Spaciously hosts

We work only with highly reliable hosts. Every single one of our hosts is a small business owner. We either saw them in action, received a recommendation from another client or had a personal call to go over their proposed activity. Small business owners spend years mastering their skills. They put great care into planning your experience.

Organize a team-building activity at your office

People love when they don't have to go out of their way for team-building. Invite the activity host to travel to your venue by selecting the option "My venue/office."

Some building management companies don't allow certain activities, e.g. cooking if you don't have a kitchen. Make sure you check this before you book.

Most buildings require a certificate of insurance. A one-off certificate of insurance costs ~$150 online, but 99% of the time, our hosts can provide one for free. There may be some back-and-forth with your building management to agree on the coverage, but we are happy to collaborate with you on this.

Cancel or change your reservation

Refer to the cancelation policy on each listing when you book to see how much time you have to cancel your reservation. To cancel, answer the email thread we will start with you or contact hello@spaciously.io.

Regardless of the cancelation policy, hosts usually allow you to move the time of your booking a bit or to add a few more people. We are very collaborative when it comes to small event adjustments. Ultimately, we all want your event to be successful because we want to be your partners for a long time!
