CAST & EMBED - A 'MELT & MAKE' VESSEL CANDLE WORKSHOP

$210.00

CAST & EMBED - Vessel Candle Workshop

(Melt & Make)

This is a relaxed, social candle workshop - designed to be enjoyed slowly, together.

CAST & EMBED is a relaxed, material-led candle workshop designed as a slower, immersive making session that balances craft with enjoyment. Participants cast a large Jesmonite vessel, then fill and finish it with wax and three-dimensional embedded elements such as wax flowers, succulents, or symbolic forms. This Melt & Make workshop prioritises material understanding, composition, and restraint, with ample time allowed for curing, embedding, and refinement. Pieces are left unvarnished to highlight the natural qualities of the materials.

You’re welcome to come on your own or book with a friend or as a group.

Duration: up to 4 hours

Skill level: Beginner-friendly

Finish: Natural / matte

Take home: 1 large sculptural vessel candle (plus additional embedded elements created during the session).

What to Expect

Melt & Make workshops are relaxed, social studio sessions guided step-by-step through sculptural candle making.

You’ll work hands-on with wax, form, and finish - pouring, shaping, embedding, and assembling pieces at an enjoyable, unhurried pace.

Most participants leave with two to three finished candles, created during the session.

No experience is needed - everything is guided, and the focus is on enjoying the process together.

Workshop Pace & Duration

Workshops run for up to 4 hours, allowing time to make, set, finish, snack, chat, and enjoy the experience without rushing.

There’s space to pause, socialise, and move comfortably through the process.
The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and welcoming, with guidance throughout.

What’s Included

All materials, tools, moulds, and finishes are provided.

Tea, coffee, water and light studio snacks are available throughout the session.

Please wear comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting a little wax on.

Studio Atmosphere

Melt & Make is offered as a small-group, atelier-style workshop where craft and enjoyment go hand in hand.

Group sizes are kept small to ensure personal guidance, while still allowing space to relax, talk, and enjoy the experience together.

Come on your own, or bring a friend — both are welcome.
