Candlemaking Workshops

Learn to Make 100% Soy Wax Candles

Join us in our Malton workshop for a relaxed, sociable, and hands-on soy wax candle making class. In around two hours you’ll learn everything you need to know about making beautiful, naturally fragranced container candles — and leave with at least two finished candles to take home, worth £24+ each at retail.

We start with warm drinks and cake, and we never rush — this is meant to be enjoyable and relaxing from start to finish.

What You’ll Learn & Do

- The science and craft of 100% soy wax container candle making

- How to create your own unique fragrance blend using natural essential oils

- How to pour, wick, and set your candles correctly

- How to decorate a pre-made 30cl container candle in your own personal style

- Tips and tricks for making candles at home after the workshop

What You’ll Take Home

At least two 100% soy wax container candles — one you’ve made from scratch with your own custom essential oil fragrance blend, and one you’ve decorated yourself. Both are yours to keep, gift, or enjoy at home. Plus a 10% discount voucher to use in our Cosy Cottage store on the day.
