About this Event
Join us at Sunset Commons for a cozy, hands-on candle-making workshop where you'll design a charming fall-inspired candle filled with miniature pumpkins, gourds, and other seasonal details. Whether you love all things autumn or simply want a creative excuse to get together with friends, this workshop is the perfect way to celebrate the season.
In this session, you’ll learn the basics of candle pouring using a premium soy and coconut wax blend that’s paraffin-free, clean-burning, and eco-friendly.

This workshop is perfect for beginners, date nights, friends, or anyone looking to slow down and enjoy a creative sensory experience in a warm and welcoming environment.

About Sunset Commons:
Carmen and Steven started Sunset Commons to provide a space to connect and build community through arts and craft activities led by talented local artists. Inspired by a love for creativity and a desire to foster connection in the Sunset District, we envisioned a “third space” where neighbors can gather, unwind, and form meaningful relationships. Our mission is to empower self-expression, boost confidence, and offer an inclusive haven for everyone, from introverts seeking a calm environment to those enjoying health-focused traditional teas. Sunset Commons is not just a business - it’s our way of enriching the community we love and to the city we both grew up in.
