Candle Making Workshop in Vancouver

Turn your handmade pottery into a candle! In this hands-on candle making workshop in Vancouver, you’ll learn how to pour a scented soy candle into your own ceramic vessel.

Bring your own completed, glazed and fired pottery and learn the process of turning it into a functional candle. This workshop is perfect for potters who want to give their handmade pieces a new purpose or explore candle making with ceramic vessels.

What You'll Learn

During the workshop, you'll learn how to prepare your pottery for candle making, select a fragrance and wick, and pour soy candle wax into your vessel.

Please bring your own completed, glazed and fired pottery. Vessels with straight walls work best for candle making and must be completely clean and dry before the workshop.

Candle Making Materials

Candle-making materials are purchased separately at $1.75 per oz of vessel capacity and include:

Soy candle wax
Fragrance
Wick
Wick adhesive
Other candle-making consumables needed during the workshop

Before attending, please measure the capacity of each pottery vessel you plan to bring and purchase the corresponding amount of candle-making materials.

How to measure your pottery: Fill your vessel with water to approximately where you would like the candle wax to finish. Pour the water into a measuring cup and note the volume in fluid ounces.

For example, if you are bringing two 8 oz vessels, you will need to purchase 16 oz of candle-making materials.
