About this Event
Get into the holiday spirit with Island Vibes' Holiday Candle Making Party!
Create your own custom, non-toxic soy candle and finish it with your choice of holiday-inspired colors and beeswax toppers.
In this guided, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of candle making, from choosing and blending your fragrance to pouring and decorating your own clean-burning, hypoallergenic candle. Then comes the fun part: adding your favorite touches to make your candle completely your own.
Every guest will head home the same day with a hand-poured candle that's creative and uniquely yours. 🕯️
We’ll provide all materials and instruction, light refreshments, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Bring your own beer or wine welcome (responsibly)! Ages 5+ (children must be accompanied by an adult).
Island Candles is located at 1230 Folly Rd. on James Island. Parking is available in the back lot, and our entrance is through the back or side door.
