Family Friendly Candle Making Workshop (Ages 5+)

Looking for the perfect school holiday activity for the family?

Join us at our store & studio in Port Douglas for a family friendly workshop where you got to make & personalise your own candle!

During the one and half hour workshop, we’ll walk you through the basics of candle making, where everyone will have the chance to make their very own candle. Our workshop is designed to be a fun memorable day out & mindful unleash creativity 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 choose a favourite scent - it’s perfect for beginners & all ages!
