Learning to master a new skill is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. Not only are DIY candle classes fun, but they can also be a great way to engage your mind and promote wellbeing. 

As your brain learns a new skill it develops novel pathways that stimulate neural activity. This can improve memory retention, slow cognitive ageing and make it easier to learn other new skills. Our candle making classes will definitely give your brain a workout, with workshops covering how to melt, pour and roll wax, set wicks, blend fragrances and create custom decorations. 

If you’re feeling worn down from the daily grind or are craving a little inspiration in your life, learning how to make scented candles could be just the pick-me-up you need. Of course, as well as enjoying the class itself, you’ll also leave with a brand-new skill to continue practising at home. 

Embrace your inner eco-warrior

Discover the gentle allure of beeswax, a rising star in the realm of candle making materials. Sourced from the industrious efforts of our beloved black-and-yellow companions, beeswax emerges as a 100% natural and non-toxic substance, gentle on both hands and the planet. Its biodegradable nature ensures that it gracefully returns to the earth, leaving behind no trace of harm.

Our beeswax candle making classes in London offer more than just an eco-friendly experience; they provide a sanctuary for eco warriors to connect with nature's bounty and craft with purpose. As participants engage in the art of candle making, they not only champion sustainability but also foster a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.

Beyond individual enrichment, our beeswax candle making classes serve as excellent corporate team-building activities. Gather your colleagues for a fun and relaxing afternoon, where the social dynamics of creativity and collaboration flourish. Together, you'll not only create beautiful candles but also forge bonds that transcend the confines of the workplace. Join us in celebrating the magic of beeswax and the joy of coming together in harmony with nature.

Harness the wellness benefits of beeswax

Beeswax really is an incredible material, with the capacity to neutralise airborne pollutants and purify the air you breathe. When burnt, beeswax releases negative ions that attach to positive ions such as dust, mould, pollen and odour-causing bacteria. As with plants, this makes beeswax candles excellent natural air purifiers. 

Beeswax candles are also clean-burning, meaning they won’t release any toxins into the air. This gives them a huge edge over paraffin candles, which are petroleum-based and can release chemicals when lit.
