Candle making is a beautiful and rewarding artform, but before you can craft your own candles, it’s important to learn the basics. This process requires time, patience, and a willingness to experiment, but with the right guidance, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the craft.
If you're new to candle making, we recommend that you practice making basic candles first before attempting the more advanced techniques in our courses.

For all candle makers you can start the courses immediately and dive deeper into more complex designs.
This isn’t just about making candles — it’s about slowing down, creating with intention, and letting your hands craft something raw, real, and filled with meaning.
From blending concrete to embedding crystals, these online courses are a journey into the art of candle making. It’s for those who believe that beauty lies in the imperfections and that magic comes from working with your hands.
