Candle Making Masterclass.

You will be guided by Josie to pour your very own soy wax candles and clamshell wax melt to keep or give as a special gift. Learn about soy wax, the importance of burning your candles correctly and how scent can aid your mental health and wellbeing. No experience is necessary, you will be shown everything from labelling to wicking, adding fragrance oils and pouring!

The Workshop includes:

2x 20cl soy candles, 1x 80g wax melt. You will be able to choose from a selection of our core and festive scents. All the equipment needed to make your candles and melts will be provided on the day.

Take your handmade products home in a hand stamped j candles cotton bag. Aprons will be provided.

A little bit about Josie:

Suffolk based candle maker Josie started j candles in May 2020. Josie has suffered with her mental health since a teen and after trying a candle making kit during lockdown and finding it very therapeutic and a great distraction from everything going on, it sparked the decision to start j candles.

Creating mental health enhancing soy wax candles and home fragrances has now been part of Josie’s life for 3 years, selling her handmade products in local shops, at markets and even in John Lewis! She’s now wanting to share her knowledge and love for being creative by teaching others the art of candle making.
