Looking for a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience in Canberra? Whether you're planning a cosy date night, organising a special event, catching up with friends, or simply feeding your creative soul, The Slow Burn Studio by Calm by B offers a fun, relaxed, and eco-conscious candle-making class that hits all the right notes.
Hosted in the tranquil surrounds of Weston, in the Deep Blue Ceramics Studio, this two-hour The Calm Pour session is your chance to slow down, get creative, and craft something beautiful with your own two hands. You’ll learn the basics of soy wax candle making, explore scent blending, and bust a few common candle myths along the way. No stress, no fuss—just good vibes and great fragrances.
At Calm by B, we believe the name says it all—creating candles should be calming, fun, and true to your personal style (and scent preferences). This isn't about perfection—it's about the joy of making, the beauty of scent, and the pleasure of taking home something handmade and heartfelt.
What you’ll learn:
  • The different types of wax and why soy wax is our go-to
  • The perfect heat temperatures for melting and pouring
  • Essential oils vs. fragrance oils – what’s the fuss about?
  • An intro into fragrance creation, and a chance to build your signature scent
  • How to calculate wax-to-fragrance ratios like a pro
  • Choosing the right wick for your vessel and scent
  • The tools of the trade (and how to use them safely and confidently)
  • Candle dos, don'ts, and myth-busting tips to level up your candle knowledge
  • Capture all of your learnings on a custom Calm by B worksheet
By the end of the class, you'll get to choose three 120g tin candles, all hand-poured and uniquely blended by you.

My daughter loved her candles so much she has made one her study candle and asked me this morning if we could do another session soon. Belle created a warm and inclusive atmosphere. Her catering and detail in her presentation was appreciated by everyone. The range of scents available was varied with the option to create your own or use a pre-made combination. I feel it was value for money and a great gifting idea. Belle had take home kits available and this included two scents to use. The take home kit is very generous and I feel confident to do it at home. Thanks Belle, we will see you soon.

Hi, I'm Belle — the maker and founder behind Calm by B.
My journey into candle making began as a personal escape — a way to slow down and reconnect with calm amidst the chaos of everyday life. I’ve always loved beautiful scents and simple elegant design, and after experimenting in my friend's kitchen with soy wax and natural essential oils, I was completely hooked. There was a real moment of magic the first time I lit a candle I’d poured myself — it sparked something that’s since grown into a thriving business and creative outlet.
What I love most about teaching candle making is how accessible and therapeutic it is. I’ve seen people walk into a workshop stressed or unsure and leave completely at ease, proud of what they’ve created. Sharing this craft is incredibly rewarding. It’s not just about learning to make candles — it’s about creating space for mindfulness, joy, and connection (and of course, taking home something beautiful too!).
Something unique about Calm by B is our commitment to natural, sustainable materials and elegant simplicity. All our candles are made with 100% plant-based wax, free from nasties, and blended with carefully curated scents designed to calm the senses. I also love to create something different, including sculptural candles like femme and masc torsos and botanical shapes — and yes, I’ll teach you how to make those too!
I bring not just hands-on experience, but a genuine love of what I do. During our workshops, you’ll learn the basics of candle making, explore scent blending, and one of my favourite parts; bust a few common candle myths along the way.
No stress, no fuss—just good vibes and great fragrances. I can’t wait to meet you, share stories, and help you pour your very own Calm.
