AC_P: Candle Making – Fall Edition (NEW CLASS)

Celebrate the season with a cozy, hands-on candle-making project! In this fall-themed class, you’ll create and customize your own autumn candle from start to finish.

Choose from three seasonal fragrances — Pumpkin Spice, Crisp Apple Orchard, or Flannel & Cedar — then personalize your candle with a selection of fall-inspired details. Pick a laser-etched wooden lid design and finish your candle by decorating the jar with stickers, candle labels, ribbons, and other autumn accents.

This is a project-based class, rather than an introduction to the fundamentals of candle making. We’ll guide you through the process of assembling and pouring your candle while focusing on creativity, customization, and creating a finished piece you’ll be excited to take home.

All materials are provided, and no previous candle-making experience is required.

Come enjoy a relaxed fall workshop and leave with a handmade candle that is uniquely yours — perfect for adding a little autumn warmth to your home or giving as a seasonal gift.
