Avid candle shopper to candle making master, join Vishakha Patel for this hands-on live streaming workshop and discover how to make candles yourself!
When Vishakha first started making candles, she didn't realize that what started out as just another new experience would turn into a passion she wouldn't be able to get enough of.
Share the joyful experience of hand-pouring natural soy wax candles with blissful fragrances.
Class outline:
  • Understand the material and equipment needed
  • Choose the right size wick
  • Discuss the secret candle formula
  • Pouring at right temperature
  • Pampering the candles, packaging and presenting!
Your teacher will also share some really practical tips and information for trouble-shooting so that you leave not only with the beautiful candles you would have made, but also the knowledge that you can do it on your own in future.
At an end of a session, you would have made a beautiful, scented candle yourself to flaunt to your friends and family while you still have the material in your craft kit ready to make a few more candles later on.
And it's no secret that the scented candles would make perfect gift ideas for any occasion, for they are both festive and timeless.

  • 5/5 from Brenda, attended Sep 2022: Vishakha share some knowledge and candle wicks What we need to use I made small candles She given all us a brochure for this class
  • 5/5 from Paula Gill, attended Sep 2022: A very enjoyable class - Vishakha was lovely and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this class. All items are provided including items to decorate your candles if you choose. I am now very confident to be able to do this myself at home!
  • 5/5 from Rani-Leigh Lindquist, attended Sep 2022: Amazing! Vishakha’s instructions and info are easy to follow and she is a great teacher!
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Colman, attended Jun 2022: My eyes were stuck wide open as I received the craft kit. It had everything exactly as described in the class listing - 6 glasses to make candles in, 6 wicks, 6 stickies, 6 warning labels, 3 different scents, 3 wax slabs, 2 wick holders, 2 pegs, 1 stirrer, 1 jug and 1 theremometer. It's A LOT of things for the price I paid. The online class was equally awesome. We were explained the whole process on a zoom call while Vish making the candle herself on the camera and showing us all the steps in the process in detail. So glad how my candle came out in my first attempt at candle making.

I have always had that intuitive urge to 'create' something with a purpose: a new vegetarian recipe, a cake that would still be calorie-friendly, a soap that would nourish my skin with essential oils, a paining that would tell a story of my childhood, a candle that would smell divine?
By day, I'm fully immersed in the world of ICT (Information & Communications Technology), helping product teams develop outstanding software applications that enhance user experiences. On occasional weekends or during my moonlight hours, I find immense joy in hosting craft workshop experiences at my charming apartment in Sydney or setting up a retreat for you to connect with yourselves or your loved ones over a craft therapy with my cutie vintage retro caravan somewhere in the Kangaroo Valley or Blue Mountains :)
It's my way of pursuing my passions (thank God I found a way), do what I love (or else no point yea), exercise my entrepreneurial skills (or at least I would think so), stay emotionally healthy (this one is real), meet new people (when Sydney reportedly is world's 3rd worst city to forge new friendships), and do my bit of raising funds for Dementia and promoting mental health. For I believe the new luxuries are truly the experiences, freedom and health.
In my journey of hosting these unique experiences in Sydney together with my partner Bob, we have come across a range of creative people, many of whom discovered things to be a fun hobby and some who have taken it further and started selling stuff online.
Our pursuit of the little joys of life continues as we eagerly anticipate sharing these experiences with you!
