What Is a Candle Making Workshop?

A candle making workshop is a guided DIY experience where you learn how to create your own scented candle from scratch. At Bali Creative Workshop, we use:

  • Natural soy wax for a clean, eco-friendly burn
  • High-quality essential oils and fragrance oils
  • Eco-friendly and sustainable materials
  • Safe and beginner-friendly techniques

You will be guided step-by-step by our local instructors who combine modern candle-making techniques with inspiration from Balinese natural aromas. Whether you have never made a candle before or you love creative activities, this workshop is designed to be relaxing, simple, and deeply satisfying.

If you are searching for a candle making workshop in Bali that feels authentic and personal, this is it.

What You Will Experience During the Workshop

Our session runs approximately 2 hours, structured in a calm and enjoyable flow.

1

Introduction to Candle Materials

We begin with a short introduction to different types of wax, why we use natural soy wax, wick selection, and the difference between fragrance oils and essential oils. You will understand the basics before starting but no prior experience is needed.

2

Scent Blending Session

This is the most exciting part. You will choose from a selection of fragrances inspired by Bali: Frangipani, Sandalwood, Lemongrass, Vanilla, Coconut, Ocean breeze, and Floral blends. Our instructor will guide you on how to mix top, middle, and base notes to create a balanced signature scent.

3

Pouring and Setting Your Candle

Next, you will melt and measure your wax, learn correct pouring temperature, place and center your wick, and carefully pour your candle mixture. This process is calming and surprisingly therapeutic. While the candle sets, you will have time to relax, enjoy a drink, and connect with other participants.

4

Personal Label and Packaging

Before leaving, you can add a personal label, name your candle, and prepare it in a protective box. You leave with a finished product that you can bring home or gift to someone special. It is not just a souvenir. It is something you created in Bali.

"I never thought making a candle could be so relaxing. The scent blending was my favorite part, and now every time I light it at home, I am transported back to Bali."

Emma, Australia
