Learn how to create your own candles and make three different styles of scented container candles, made from 100% natural soy wax.
With the help of your host Lindsey, you’ll be taken through the techniques to make each candle style, choosing your own scents from Mount Cottage’s fragrance library. You’ll learn about wick types, how to measure wax and hand pour. You'll also discover how essential and fragrance oils are used in candle making, as well as the different dyes available. If you’d like to continue candle making after your experience Lindsey will also discuss the equipment you’ll need for hand making your own candles.
You’ll leave with an array of unique, handcrafted candles and the confidence to make many more hand poured candles at home.

The candle making course with Lindsey was brilliant. Everything was carefully explained and well prepared. Wonderful atmosphere to learn a new skill. Had a great time!
Lindsey explained everything really well and the handouts were well written and very useful. We made 3 candles using different containers and creative techniques. The additional kit option was great - meant we don’t have to shop around to get started on candle making at home. The refreshments were excellent too. A fun and useful afternoon - thank you.
I really enjoyed it!
Had a really great time and made some lovely smelling candles. Location was great, host was lovely. Highly recommend.
An excellent introduction into making your own candles
Really enjoyed this, would recommend to anyone
Enjoyed the workshop
Lindsey is an exceptional host who is very friendly and explained the candle making process very well. It’s obvious she has a passion for candle making and she made the workshop very fun and relaxed. We had a great time with her and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of booking. Thank you Lindsey! :)
Lindsay was a wonderful host, extremely organised and professional with the materials and equipment and provided good refreshments. The start of a new hobby for me!
This was a birthday present from my husband and I was able to work out where I was going wrong in my "self taught" candle making disasters. Thank you for a very informative afternoon. I enjoyed it very much.
Wonderful relaxing experience. Throughly enjoyed it
I have made candles at home before, but had no idea of the theory about it. I learned many things, thank you!
