Candle Making Class: Make Candles With Instructor Marike
Create your own custom-made candles in this relaxing two-hour candle making class with Instructor Marike!
The session starts with a fun, hands-on demo where you'll learn how to pick the right wax and wick. You'll also learn the difference between fragrance oils and essential oils and how to blend your own unique scent. You'll even get to play with color and pour your very own candles into gorgeous vessels. While your candles cool, you’ll have time to design a fun label while interacting with fellow makers. By the end, you’ll head home with two custom candles, a solid foundation in candle making and that sweet, satisfied feeling that only comes from making something with your hands.

I absolutely loved Marike’s Pour with Purpose class! Her instructions were easy to follow, and she created such a welcoming, generous space — we even got to make two candles! What really stood out to me was the intentionality she wove into the experience. It went beyond just candle making; it felt like a creative and meaningful way to pause, reflect, and connect back to self. She had a variety of scents to choose from. Something for everyone! I left not only with beautiful candles, but also with a full heart.
