How it works
This is a ClassBento LiveBox class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or just enjoy with some like-minded others. As seen on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and more. Here's how it works:
- Book or Request your preferred time
- We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft box containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 2 to 4 business days for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra; 4 to 9 days elsewhere. We ship nationwide.
- Enjoy the online class. You'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. On the day of the class, use that link to join the class. Class sizes are kept small, so you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device - smartphone, tablet or laptop. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.
What you'll do
Looking for fun rainy day activities to keep you occupied? Learn how to make a soy candle to keep from the comfort of your own home in this live-streamed candle making class.
Unwrap your ClassBento Box along with your teacher Tara, the founder of Provider Store as she takes you through step by step how to make a pure soy wax candle and set it in a Japanese ceramic teacup. You’ll learn a little bit about different wax types, heating temperatures and fragrances during this live class online, as well as tips on creating the perfect candle.
As far as indoor activities go, our candle making workshop is a great way to ease into a night at home and make your house smell amazing.
Knowledge Required
Perfect for beginners.
What you'll get in your craft box
- Japanese ceramic cup- Soy wax
- Fragrance
- Wick
- Wick holder
What you'll need
- A microwave (preferred, otherwise a stove is OK too)- A microwave-safe container that can hold at least 500ml (e.g. microwave safe jug or Pyrex glass jar)
- Thermometer (optional)
Suitable for
This Box and Live class is a great indoor activity idea for individuals and couples as well as for virtual team building activities at home. This is a fun indoor activity, suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 12 years old). An adult must be present whilst kid(s) engage with the box.
This would also be a great Father's Day gift idea.
Your teacher
Tara is the founder and designer/maker of Sydney homewares brand, Provider Store. Provider Store is a destination specialising in daily tools for the home. Most of what you find is either handmade by Tara Bennett or by other local and international creatives she has met along her travels.
Provider's homewares explore the concept of slow living, with an emphasis on creating ethical and sustainable products. Sold throughout Australia and the world, Provider's candles are made from pure soy wax, hand poured in Surry Hills and housed in a hand made Japanese vessel. Designed to be multi-purpose, simply pop out the wick, wash with hot soapy water and you're left with a Japanese tea cup.

The best experience! Very informative and not at all intimidating. The class was still amazing even though it was online and I would have no hesitation recommending this to others.
Clementina Bove • Jul 2020
I really enjoyed the class by Tara. She was fantastic, very helpful and encouraging. I would 100% recommended this class and for others to participate in. I can not wait to go to her store in Sydney!
Sahil Singh • Jun 2020
The candle making class with Tara was lovely; my friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We appreciated how Tara explained the process and reasoning behind the methods she taught.
We learned a new word as well: swizzle.
Madeleine Prince • Jun 2020
The most beautiful end product, and the loveliest, most friendly teacher who nailed walked us through the candle making process!
Sally Whittaker • Jun 2020

The soy wax candle making class was great! Tara explained (and demonstrated) the process really clearly and I now have a beautiful candle, as well as a heap of info about wax, candles and oils. Thanks Tara
Katie Milton • May 2020
We took Tara's candle making class as a team building experience and it was fantastic! Tara has so much knowledge, shared some great tips and helped all of us through each step. We all completely switched off and learnt how to make beautifully scented soy candles :) Thank you Tara!
Andrew Ray • May 2020
Class was great! Super easy to follow via zoom at home and my Mum and I love the candles we made! Would definitely recommend :)
Tanya Goldberg • May 2020
A lovely, short class. In just under 40mins I had a lovely-scented soy wax candle of my very own making, cooling on the counter!
Really informative, easy teaching style, and all done safely isolated from my own kitchen via zoom. One of my favourite birthday presents
Angela Allen • May 2020
A fun and very informative session. I loved it. Everyone will be getting soy wax candles for Christmas this year! :)
Kristine Vergara • May 2020
Oh I love my first ZOOM experience. Tara was so wonderful! I learnt alot and I love how my candle turned out! -- and the scent -- so inlove with scent! Definitely an experience worth trying! ✨

Great experience spending the afternoon making candles with Tara, remotely and socially distant of course! Highly recommended!
Kaelah Ford • May 2020
This class was fantastic! We learned a lot about candle-making and the product itself (soy wax, Japanese tea cup and scented oil) was very high quality. Looking forward to visiting Tara at Provider Store soon

Nathalie Hersa • May 2020
I have so much fun joining this class. Tara (the teacher) gave us so much information and also tips to how to make soywax candle. Thankss
Ewan Hartono • May 2020
Tara was such a great teacher in the class - taught us a lot about the process of candle-making including how the indgredients are all organic (soy wax and essential oils, etc.). She also shared about her passion for her business which makes it that extra interesting. We felt like we made a little craft of our own in just under 1 hour and came away knowing how to make our own candle mix. Priceless experience thanks to The Provider Store! ️
Annabelle McNamara • May 2020
What a fantastic class! Well paced, informative, fun and I have a beautiful smelling and looking candle at the end of it!
Nooshin Torabi • May 2020

Melissa Ould • May 2020
Fun and something out of the ordinary. Easy step by step instructions All from the comfort of my home. Not to mention everything smells divine
Amelia Robson • May 2020
So enjoyable! Tara is warm and enthusiastic and even though it was via Zoom, it didn’t feel impersonal at all. It was all very easy - I received an email asking which scent I’d like, then a box with all the supplies arrived promptly in the mail! The steps were simple to follow and at the end you get a beautiful scented candle in a Japanese ceramic cup. Can’t wait to do it again when we can do a face to face class, but in the meantime this was perfect.
Tian Lu • May 2020
Tara is an amazing, charming, welcoming teacher. We had fun in class and are left with unique, beautiful candles. Looking forward to visiting her workshop sometime!
Meg Hampstead • May 2020
