About this Event

Ready to expand your candle-making skills—without the overwhelm? In this small-group workshop, I’ll guide you step by step through the exact techniques I developed to make painted jars and wax marble candles so you can turn simple vessels into art. You’ll learn by doing, sip something cozy, and head home with two beautiful 13 oz candles you made yourself.

Hosted by me, Lise Boullard—owner and founder of JoiebyLise.com— a chandler, artist, and writer who believes in the healing power of art.


What you’ll make (to take home)
  • One 13 oz soy candle in your hand-painted jar with a gentle wood wick
  • One 13 oz soy marbled candle, scented and poured by you

What you’ll learn
  • Wax marbling: create crisp, colorful veining that stays defined after the pour
  • Painting techniques: simple priming, sealing, and easy, durable finishes
  • Wax & wick know-how: which waxes to use and how to choose/size wood wicks
  • Scent blending bar: mix essential oils and fragrance oils to your heart’s desire
  • Supplies & tools: everything you need to recreate the process at home (all provided)

The vibe
  • Beginner-friendly and welcoming—clear demos, calm pacing, lots of 1:1 support
  • Small, supportive group (max 10) so you can relax and get creative
  • Cozy refreshments: tea, coffee, and light snacks

Details
  • When: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
  • Where: My cozy home studio (address shared after registration)
  • Included: All materials, hot drinks, and light snacks—just bring your cozy sweater

You’ll leave with two gorgeous 13 oz candles and the confidence to keep creating at home.Please note: Due to the small class size, all ticket sales are final.

With joie,
