We're Thrilled You're Curious About Us

Welcome to Embers + Apothecary, where joy sparks and connections ignite through the magic of creative expression. Our story is rooted in a love for unconventional experiences and a belief that Chicago needs more third spaces—welcoming inclusive spots away from work and home where people can gather, date, laugh, host a party, and build community.

 

Located in the historic Printer’s Row neighborhood, we’re proud to be a Woman and Black owned business. We host daily classes and private events centered around unique candle-making experiences in two parts. The first part includes scent exploration and learning the art of candle making, while the second part invites you to engage in a fun activity with those around you—be it trivia, games, a tasting or perhaps something else.

 

Whether you're a local, visiting Chicago, a candle enthusiast, or just seeking something a little different, our experiences are crafted with you in mind. Join us for a daily class or consider hosting a private event. We can't wait to welcome you and co-create a one-of-a-kind Chicago experience together.
