Join us at our store & studio in Port Douglas to blend, pour and walk away with your very own handmade candle! Complimentary drink is included on arrival 🥂

During the two hours workshop, we’ll walk you through the basics of candle making, where you'll have the chance to make your very own candle. Our workshop is designed to be a fun memorable day out rather than a heavily detailed training on making candles. You’ll get a hands-on experience, learning about different types of waxes available for candle making, wick, set and label your vessel, and how to create your one-of-a-kind scent - it’s perfect for beginners!

Each workshop comes with:

  • Experienced local chandler
  • A personalised medium size (Net 230g | Burn time 45h) of scented soy wax candle to bring home - we use 100% natural soy wax and wood wick for our candle
  • We have 90+ fragrance, absolute, and essential oils to choose from to create your unique scents
  • All the materials needed to make your candle
  • A relaxed and air conditioned studio space
  • Complimentary a glass of bubbles & nibbles - alcoholic & non-alcoholic options will be available (all of our Candle Making Workshops are BYO friendly - feel free to bring your bevies, we have glassware available)
  • Bonus! You'll receive a 10% discount for any Scents Journey products that you’d like to purchase on the day (eftpos is available)

What you need to bring:

  • A sense of curiosity and creativity
  • Comfortable clothes (we will supply you with an apron to wear during the session)

It's the perfect date night, a great shared experience alongside your mates or family, or enjoyed on your own. Each session is limited to 6 people to allow space, room and time. Please arrive a few minutes early so that we can start the workshop on time. We also offer private bookings for family or group events in our studio or your chosen location (please send your enquiry through our contact form).

An intimate and must-do experience in Port Douglas

We met Kelly at the Port Douglas markets on our wedding anniversary trip in October, 2024. From the moment we met her, we loved her story about wanting to create good quality and lung-loving candles.

After mentioning to her that we were travelling for our anniversary, she went above and beyond to fit us in for an intimate and special candlemaking evening. When we arrived, it was clear that Kelly loves what she does and is passionate about creating a truly memorable experience. She guided us through the entire process of creating a personalised and incredible smelling candle, whilst making sure that we were well fed.

Kelly went above and beyond in this experience and we couldn’t recommend her enough if you were looking for a fun and unique date night.

Thank you, Kelly, for all that you do and we can’t wait to see you back in Port Douglas soon 🤍

Candle making workshop

What a truly wonderful afternoon spent with my daughters and a lovely group of ladies. We all had so much fun making our own personalized scent for our candles. Kelly has created such a beautiful space to relax and be creative. The time just went too quick. We all can’t wait to do it again. X
