Candle Making Workshop
March 19th, 1-3pm
Ages: 13-18
$65
In this hands-on workshop, teens will learn how candles are made and create a custom hand-poured candle to take home. Participants will choose their scent, learn how wicks work, safely pour melted wax, and add the finishing touches to their creation. It’s part art, part science, and lots of fun! Each participant will leave with a beautiful candle they made themselves using high-quality coconut soy wax and premium fragrance oils.
About Your Instructor Rachael
Hi, my name is Rachael! I’m the owner of Ember Aromas Candle Co. here in Fernie, where I hand-pour coconut soy candles with a strong focus on creativity, quality, and sustainability. I’m a proud Fernie local! I grew up here, attended both Isabella Dicken and FSS before completing my teaching degree at the University of Calgary, and eventually made my way back home to the mountains where I'm now a teacher at Isabella Dicken. Something that really sets Ember Aromas apart is that we don’t just pour our candles, we also handcraft our own concrete candle vessels. Each one is designed to be reused and loved long after the candle has burned, allowing us to create a more sustainable, meaningful product. I also love sharing that candle making is so much more than simply “melting wax.” There’s a huge science component behind it, and I’m passionate about teaching people how candles work, how to care for them safely, and how ingredients like wax, fragrance, and even wick choice can influence air quality and overall well being.
