custom candle pouring

candle pouring is a simple craft that encourages creativity and intentionality. you’ll soak in the restorative power of aromatherapy through multiple senses as you choose the essential oils that resonate with you and hand pour your own aromatherapy candle.

how it works:

we’ll have coconut wax melting near ideal temperature for you when you arrive. you’ll wick your jar, select your essential oil(s) to work with, and pour your wax + stir your oils in. your candle will need to sit for ~1-2 hours to set before transport, and then continue to cure for about 72 hours before your first burn — we find this ensures a stronger scent throw, important when working with the beauty and delicacy of natural ingredients! 

what’s included in this workshop:

the materials needed for one natural candle: amber glass jar, cotton wick, coconut wax, essential oils. option to add dried botanicals once candle is set. feel free to byo/beverage and chill with us at the apothecary while you wait for your candle to set, or leave to check out one of the local coffee houses, quick eats, or bars around old brooklyn and we’ll deliver your candle to your curbside when you return. :) event attendees also receive 10% off all regular priced apothecary goods. 

special notes:

pre-payment is required, and each 30 minute reservation is for one candle. if you would like to book with a partner or small group (up to 4), please select a block of time to include a candle for each person in your party — and you can all make your candles together at the start of your time block.

we have ten essential oils reserved for this workshop. we will only work with oils that have been deemed safe, effective, and maintain a responsible relationship with nature. if you would like to inquire what oils will be available, please email melissa@apothecaryverde.com before reserving a spot.
