Whether you're looking for unique gifts for everyone on your list or you're keen to treat yourself to some calming crafts, join Fire Nest Candles for a relaxing experience learning how to make your own luxury fragranced wooden wick candle. Made with soy wax, your creation will last longer and burn slower.

Over the course of two hours, you'll learn each step of creating a duo of enticing candles from a friendly expert. Starting with learning a bit about the benefits of soy wax, you'll choose from a range of different fragrances to suit your preference, as well as finishing your candle with an assortment of dried botanicals. Then it'll be time to get hands-on as you create your candle! From blending the fragrance and pouring the wax to making sure the wick is set, you'll be guided through the process step by step, so no worries about getting in over your head.

You'll also pick up some helpful candle care tips and advice to help you get the most out of your creation. By the end of this immersive and relaxing experience, you'll have learned the fundamentals of a new craft and have created a pair of gorgeous, sustainable candles to take home with you.

*Please note that this Class is advertised as 2 hours, however this is an approximate timeframe, we do not guarantee that this Class will run for this duration, it depends on many factors such as group size, how long you take to choose your fragrances, how long the wax takes to dry for your candle etc. Thank you for your understanding.*

“Helpful demo and advice. Lots of fragrances to choose from and advice at every stage. Loved the class. Sadly I was the only person in what should have been a group class but other people did not turn up! I got lots of help but it felt a bit lonely”

“Really enjoyed this class, lots of scents availble for mixing and spent most of the session decorating the inside of the glass in which the candle sits.”

“We had a lovely time and came away with some fabulous candles. The only thing that would have made it more enjoyable would have been some teas and coffees or some squash as we got thirsty throughout!”

“This was my first candle making course and I found it very interesting. It’s more difficult than I thought. Venue was good and course teacher was approachable and knowledgeable. Just a little suggestion: maybe advise to bring either old clothes or an apron (which probably most people have) or ideally offer some paper aprons. It can get really messy with wax ending up on clothes.”

“Wife and I attended this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Knowledgeable and helpful instructor and pleasant surroundings. Unfortunately, on the downside, they were running a separate class in another room without a door next to ours. The instructor did not control the attendees and there was frequently a lot of noise from them. She also kept walking into our session to talk to our instructor, which I don't have a problem with, but space was limited and I had to keep pulling my chair e all finished the assignment without rushing, this is sold as a 2 hour session when in fact it finished with around 45 minutes left. I'd have no problem paying the same price but advertise it as 90 minutes, not 120. Having said all that, it was an unhurried and enjoyable session. The only real issue was the noise from the neighbouring session.”

“The facilitators were friendly, engaging, patient, helpful and knowledgeable. There was a lot of variety and choice in scent and decoration. Being able to make the candles completely individually – from the decorating to the scent – made every single candle different which was great. We all learnt stuff that we didn’t know before about candles and candle care, and the whole thing overall felt relaxed. There were times things felt a bit rushed, and some felt that it would have been nice to have seen what a finished item might look like. We would wholeheartedly recommend Fire Nest and are keeping hold of their details for some of the other workshops that they run.”
