Candle Making Workshop

In the Nordic countries, where winter brings long nights and limited daylight, candlelight has long been an important part of creating warmth, comfort, and connection. From everyday traditions to celebrations like Lucia, lighting candles is woven into the cultural fabric of the Nordic winter.

Join us for a cozy, hands-on candle-making workshop, discover a variety of fragrance oils, learn about the scents and their associations, and create your own custom fragrance blend. Once you've chosen your scent, our instructor will guide you through the candle-making process and pour your wax for you. Each participant will leave with their own handmade candle—perfect for bringing a little warmth and light into the darker days of winter or sharing as a thoughtful gift. Come gather around the light, explore Nordic winter traditions, and make something beautiful to brighten the season.
