Hand-Painted Candle Painting Workshop – ChesterBring a touch of creativity and festive charm to your home with our Candle Painting Workshop in Chester, hosted at the beautiful Shrub, right in the city centre. This unique experience blends art, mindfulness, and seasonal creativity, giving you the chance to design and hand-paint your very own decorative candles. Perfect as gifts, table decorations, or simply as a calming creative escape.
What to Expect
During this workshop, you’ll be guided through the process of painting delicate motifs and patterns directly onto candles. You’ll learn how to sketch or test your designs first, apply paint smoothly, and add details with confidence.
We’ll also share tips and techniques for working with seasonal motifs, festive colour palettes, and decorative flourishes – so even complete beginners will leave with something truly beautiful.
The session is fun, relaxed, and suitable for all skill levels. No prior art experience is required – just come ready to get creative!
