Avid candle shopper to candle making master, join Vishakha Patel for this hands-on Sydney 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.

Over two and a half hours, 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
  • Explore our collection of exotic fragrances and pick the one that you'd like in your special candle
  • Select the colour of your candles if you'd like or decide to leave it an elegant white
  • Pampering the candles, packaging and presenting!

Everything that will be needed to make natural soy wax candles in the class including:
  • 100 per cent natural organic soy wax sourced from a registered Australian supplier
  • Sandalwood, Jasmin & Vanilla fragrances
  • Premium fragrances to choose from for your special candle
  • Jars and bowls to make candles in
  • Equipment needed like scales, pitchers, mugs, spatulas, spoons etc.
  • Various sized wicks
  • Stickers to stick the wicks to jars
  • Wick holders
  • Candle dyes
  • Dried flowers, petals, lavender buds, calendula, shells, beads, pearls, charms etc to decorate candles
  • Labels, strings, laces etc for packaging

The class will be hosted in the open balcony of the lovely penthouse apartment overlooking wide-open views of the Sydney CBD.

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.

And it's no secret that the scented candles would make perfect gift ideas for any occasion, for they are both festive and timeless.

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 am a fulltime ICT Professional helping product teams build great software applications that deliver an awesome User experience. In my moonlight hours and occasionally on weekends, I enjoy this experience of facilitating crafts workshops at my adorable apartment thereby follow my own passion (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 make new friends), and do my bit of promoting mental health.

In my journey of hosting the picnics, cooking, baking, fitness and crafts experiences in Sydney, I 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.

My pursuit of the little joys of life continues as I look forward to share these experiences with you!

What a joy it was to participate in the candle making class. Vishakha has was an excellent teacher and made us all feel very welcome. I learn’t so much and am pleased to have done the course before trying it at home. I took home so many beautiful candles and decorated scented wax blocks. So happy to have learnt a new skill. It’s always lovely to make something homemade.

Kareena Nov 2022


It was a 10/10 candle making experience I attended for a spring evening. Vishakha was well prepared to run the show - we had the table ready with our selected jars, printed handout, other materials and designated standing spots with our names. It felt welcoming! Plus the venue - breathtaking Sydney city lights that I had only seen in movies. Decent price as well for the lot I made for coming Christmas. Highly recommended, and I am going to do her Resin class as well now!

An absolutely fantastic experience! Not only did I feel like I genuinely learned the skills required to attempt making candles myself, but everyone was incredibly lovely and we've even decided to do another arts and craft class together!

Our teacher. Vishakha was one of the most lovely humans I've ever met and makes you feel instantly welcome. I'll be attending another one of your workshops Vishakha!

This was such a fun, hands-on and therapeutic class! I really enjoyed the process of making and decorating my candles under Vish’s guidance. The most satisfying part was towards the end when we got creative with glitter and all sorts of little trinkets to decorate our candles and give them their own little story. I would loveee to come again. Thanks Vish! Your love of candle-making is contagious✨‍♀️

V was a fantastic teacher who was enthusiastic, knowledgable and kind throughout.

She supplied an extensive range of materials, scents and decorations for the candles. And we walked away with many candles from our class which was lovely. Couldn't recommend more!

Vishakha was very welcoming, she had everything beautifully setup for us in her penthouse balcony with 270 degree city views. We had a bit of a chat over her self blended herbal tea as we waited for others to join. As we started, the surprise goodie bags of handmade gifts awed us all. She explained everything step by step and took us through the process of candles-making right from where to source the quality materials from, the measurements, the formula, the science behind the right wick size, what temperature to heat the wax upto, when to mix the fragrances and the dyes, what temperature for pouring, when to put the deco's as well as how to rescue your candles in case you miss those timings. The tops came out clean the first time right and it made me only proud as this is my first attempt at making candles. We carried all of our creations home, which was 3 bowl candles and 2 jar candles plus 3 fragrance blocks and a couple of tea-lights so it's a lot for the price I paid. I thank her for the amazing workshop and highly recommended her classes.
