​Learn How to Make Professional-Quality Candles at Home
Candle University is a private learning experience for people who want to go deeper than our social classes. While our signature candle-making classes focus on connection, scent design, and creativity, Candle University is for those who leave saying, “Wait, but how can I do this on my own?”

Whether you’re new to pouring or a seasoned maker, these one-on-one sessions offer professional-level insight and hands-on guidance. You’ll uncover what really goes into making a high-quality candle — from understanding why that Amazon kit didn’t deliver the luxe results you expected to fine-tuning details like wax performance, wicking, and scent throw. Our formats are designed to cater to your experience level, helping you build new skills, solve challenges, and create candles that look, smell, and burn beautifully.

If you’ve tried making candles at home and thought, huh, that’s not what I pictured, you’re not the problem. That Amazon kit probably only set you up with half of what you need to succeed. Not all wax, wicks, and scents are created equal, and a few technical details make the difference between a candle you made and one you’d actually claim. This one-on-one session bridges that gap. We’ll take a look at what’s really happening when you pour, talk through why those results show up, and show you how to tweak things for that smooth burn, rich scent, and polished finish you’re after. You’ll learn how to pick materials that perform, fine-tune your ratios and pour temperature, and make candles that look and feel right at home next to your Le Labo and Diptyque ones. You’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to make candles at home that finally match your taste and your standards. Includes: 1. Personalized supply list with trusted vendors 2.
