Workshop candle making

Candle making workshop

Make your own scented candle during our candle making workshop in IJsselstein, near Utrecht. We’ll teach you how to make your own unique candles that smell lovely and help you every step along the way.

During the workshop candle making you’ll learn more about the different types of wax, what to pay attention to when making candles and of course you’ll make your very own scented candle.

What will you take home?

When leaving the workshop you’ll take home your own handmade scented candles worth €24.95 – €39.95 (depending on which vessels you choose). And of course you’ll leave with a lot of knowledge about candle making that you can use at home. You’ll learn the difference between types of candles and how healthy they are, you’ll learn about the difference a wick can make and you’ll learn how to properly take care of your candles.

About Anne from Canndle

Hi! I’m Anne and I’ll be the one you’ll see during the workshop. I’m a thirty-something candle and Christmas-lover and the founder of Canndle. Loving the coziness and light candles provide I wanted to make my own. And not just any candles, I wanted to make sustainable candles that you don’t see much in the Netherlands. With Canndle I’m doing exactly that: making candles that are unique, burn longer and cleaner and that are sustainable. In the past I already hosted some workshops, on an entirely different subject though, as I hosted workshops about online marketing. I hope you will enjoy the candle making workshop as much as I enjoy hosting it!
