Designed for beginners and fragrance lovers alike, this intimate workshop takes you behind the scenes of professional candle making as you learn how to create your own soy wax candle.
Your class will be hosted by Wendy, an experienced candle maker and co-owner of established Australian home fragrance brands whose products have been stocked by leading retailers and luxury destinations including David Jones and The Langham.
With Wendy guiding you step by step, you’ll learn not only how to pour a candle, but the techniques behind creating a beautifully fragranced candle that burns cleanly and evenly.
What you’ll learn:
  • A basic introduction to candle-making equipment and essential tools
  • Safe preparation and best-practice candle-making techniques

  • How to select the correct wick size and type
  • Accurate measuring, weighing and temperature control
  • Professional mixing and pouring techniques
  • How to troubleshoot common candle-making issues including sinkholes, frosting and tunnelling
  • Candle curing, aftercare and how to achieve the best possible burn
At the end of your workshop, your candle will remain in our studio to cure correctly. Once ready, you can collect your finished candle from the studio or have it posted to you for a small additional fee.
Whether you’re curious about candle making, looking to develop a new creative skill, or simply want to spend an afternoon immersed in beautiful fragrance, this workshop is a relaxed and considered introduction to the craft of candle making.

Luana Howard, the Kiwi-born ex-opera singer and perfumer, is a pioneering force in the fragrance industry with over a decade of experience creating custom fragrances for brands and individuals across Australia.
After embarking on their aromatic journey in 2016 under the tutelage of a professional French-style Perfumer in Melbourne, Australia, they founded By Luis - Scent Design, specialising in custom and bespoke 1:1 fragrances and private label fragrance manufacturing.
Their skill set encompasses product development, graphic design, marketing, and the design, formulation, and manufacturing of fragrances for diverse clientele across Australia.
This commitment to excellence shone through when a fragrance they designed and manufactured for a client secured a remarkable achievement — winning a place in the 2022 Annual Clean Beauty Awards.
This accolade is a testament to Luana's dedication to creating high-quality, award-winning fragrances that resonate with clients and industry standards alike.Beyond their human fragrance ventures, Luana also founded two additional fragrance brands within the pet product space, combining their love of perfumery and animals.
Luana's initial fascination with fragrance stemmed from the neuroscience behind our sense of smell. After recognising that the sense of smell is directly connected to memory via strong emotional experiences, a seed was sewn. Luana's passion is creating fragrances that evolve and embed memories and emotional experiences in others.
