Candle Making Class

Learn how to make your own double-wicked candle

Welcome to Sydney Creative's Candle Making Class, nestled in the iconic pink studio in the heart of Redfern.

Perfect for beginners, our class invites you to craft a luxury double-wicked, extra large candle. Designed to illuminate your space with a burn time of approximately 50 hours and a fragrance that's uniquely yours.

In this two-hour session, we'll guide you through:

Jar & Lid Selection: Mix and match your favourite colours.
Vessel Preparation: Learn to prepare your glass vessel for the wax.
Wick Mastery: Discover the importance of choosing and securing the correct wick size for an even, perfect burn.
Wax Selection: Discover why we love Cocosoy wax.
Scent Creation: Blend your own fragrance oils under expert guidance to create a signature scent that delights.
Understanding Throws: Gain insight into achieving the perfect cold and hot throw for maximum scent release.
Pouring Technique: Candle making is a science, learn how to prepare your jar for the wax, when to mix in the fragrance, and how to monitor the temperatures.
Troubleshooting Tips: Equip yourself with the know-how to navigate common candle-making challenges.

We'll provide all the materials you'll need, from the wax to the wick, the fragrance, and the finishing touches. A worksheet will be provided during the session, so you can take notes along the way.

We recommend leaving your candle behind to set after the class to prevent surface imperfections. Moving it prematurely may affect its quality. If you must take your candle with you on the same day, please inform the teacher upon arrival. We'll do our best to prioritise your wax pouring to allow for more setting time and provide tips on transporting it home.

This workshop is open to anyone over 18 years old. BYO drinks are welcome.

Emily Taylor

I’ve been to Sydney Creative twice and I had so much fun both times. Sophie was so helpful and accommodating when I was trying to find time to come in around work and I learnt so much while I was there, especially with Lucy. She was so patient and explained everything so well! I highly recommend Sydney Creative!!

Kelsey Harris

Great course.. has got me wanting to learn more. Sophie was a lovely teacher who explained things nice and simply. Would definitely recommend for beginners looking to get into sewing!

Philippe Maes

If my first workshop was an incredible experience because I learnt how to correct many bad habits when sewing, this workshop provided me with such an amazing level of achievement and satisfaction! Lucy for her first class was absolutely fantastic of patience and tips and advices. At the end, I managed to finish the short for my daughter and I was so excited about it that the very next day I did another one. Thank you so much for building up my skills and confidence, this is really very much appreciated. Take care and see you soon

It’s the second time I had the pleasure to create something with Sydney creative and it was both amazing experiences!! I am so proud of my handmade earrings, all my friends are envious and impressed . I learnt so much during the session, thanks to the amazing teacher Emily, she is patient and passionate! I feel confident that I can do it on my own after 1st session - it would just require to get the material required that can be bought directly at the studio so convenient!

Oonagh McEldowney

I have had my new sewing machine for more than a year but had no idea how to use it and was a bit scared of it. After one class with Sophie that all changed. I made a cute cushion at the workshop under Sophie’s expert guidance - than came home and made a second one all on my own. I highly recommend this class for any newbies out there - so much better than watching a you tube video - with so many helpful, practical tips along the way.
