Join us in the Upper West Side of Manhattan for a relaxing Candle or Soap Making Workshop where you will design TWO of your own gorgeous, customized candles. You'll learn to blend your own natural fragrances to design your very own coconut wax candles in beautiful glass containers. These candles are perfect for special gift-giving (or keep for yourself!).
Guests will spend this amazing workshop designing either:
- TWO of their own personalized candles, choosing from our natural scents. Everyone appreciates a quality candle, and these make thoughtful gifts! Our candles are made with eco-friendly, non-toxic coconut wax.
OR
- SIX bars of cold process soap, made from scratch with your group.
Come enjoy the relaxing and zen experience of candle making and soap making!
