SCENTED SOY CANDLE-MAKING WORKSHOP
⭐ Ages 16+
⭐ All Supplies Included
What You'll Make
Create 6 scented soy candles to enjoy at home or give as gifts. Choose from a wide selection of fragrances and colours, and make each candle your own, whether you love warm and cozy, fresh and botanical, or sweet and fruity scents.
What's Included & What You'll Learn
All materials and equipment are included, and no experience is needed. We’ll guide you step by step through preparing your containers and wicks, melting and scenting your wax, adding colour, and choosing the right pouring temperature. You’ll also receive an emailed handout with instructions for making more candles at home, so you can keep creating after the workshop.
Candle Pickup: What to Know
Your freshly poured candles need time to cool and set before travelling home. They’ll stay with us overnight and will be ready for pickup on our next business day. Please plan to return to collect your creations.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience?
Not at all! This workshop is designed specifically for beginners. We'll guide you through every step of the soap-making process, from safely mixing your ingredients to pouring your finished soap.
What will I make?
You'll create 12 full-size bars of cold process soap using our signature recipe. Customize your batch with your choice of fragrances, colours and botanical additives.
Is everything included?
Yes! We provide all ingredients, equipment, safety gear and instruction. Just bring yourself—we'll take care of the rest.
How long is the workshop?
The workshop lasts approximately 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to learn, create and ask questions. We recommend arriving about 10 minutes ahead of your workshop start time to settle in.
When can I use my soaps?
Cold process soap needs to cure for approximately 3-4 weeks before it's ready to use. This allows excess water to evaporate, creating a harder, longer-lasting bar.
Can I choose my own fragrance and colours?
Absolutely! You'll have access to a wide selection of fragrance oils, essential oils, colourants and botanicals so you can make a batch that's uniquely yours.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. We recommend avoiding your favourite outfit, as working with colourants can occasionally result in small splashes. Aprons are not provided.
Is this workshop suitable for children?
This workshop is intended for participants 16 years and older due to the use of sodium hydroxide (lye). We offer several family-friendly and kids' workshops for younger makers.
Can I come by myself?
Absolutely! Many of our guests attend on their own. Our workshops are welcoming, relaxed and a great way to meet other creative people.
Is parking available?
There is paid street parking throughout downtown Victoria, along with several nearby parkades within a short walking distance of the studio. Click here for more details.
Will I receive instructions to take home?
Yes! You'll receive a printed recipe and curing instructions so you can confidently care for your soap after the workshop.
Do you sell the supplies used in class?
Yes! We carry the same oils, fragrances, colourants, molds and other supplies used during our workshops, so you can continue making soap at home.
Why should I take a workshop instead of using a DIY kit?
Our workshops give you the confidence to make cold process soap safely while learning directly from an experienced instructor. You'll have access to professional equipment, premium ingredients, expert guidance and plenty of opportunities to ask questions—all in a fun, hands-on environment.
