Welcome to: The Candle Workshop

Meet your host: Dale & Stephen

Founded by triplet brothers, what started as an interest in fragrance and candle making quickly became something they wanted to take seriously. From their base in Bermondsey, they began developing and hand pouring their own soy wax candles, experimenting with fragrance, materials and the surprisingly technical business of making a really good candle. Today, they’ve turned that shared creative obsession into an independent London brand, with every candle still made by hand and a slightly unusual three-man family business behind it.

Pour Your Own Signature Scent.

Create your own scented soy candle from scratch, choosing from a carefully curated collection of fragrances to make something completely your own. Along the way, you’ll learn the craft behind a properly made candle, from wax and wick selection to fragrance blending, pouring and finishing, before designing your own label to complete it.

Workshop Itinerary

As everyone arrives, we’ll start with a relaxed introduction to the craft of candle making, from fragrance and wax to the science behind a great burn. Then it’s time to get hands on, blend your own scent, pour your candle and design a label to make it completely your own.
