About This Experience

*This Nashville location offers a self-guided candle making workshop. Reserve a 45-minute time slot and follow our instructional flip book to customize your very own Paddywax candle. If you would prefer an instructor-led workshop, check out our Flagship location in Berry Hill, TN!

Your reservation guarantees you 45 minutes in our Candle Making Workshop space— but how you spend it is up to you! This is a DIY experience where you will be working together to complete our Step-by-Step Candle Making Guide. We highly suggest taking your time to curate the perfect vessel and fragrance blend for your space, savoring each moment as you create something truly special together. It's more than just pouring wax; it's a chance to learn about one another, laugh, and create lasting memories in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Our expert Paddywax Chandlers will be alongside you through the process, bringing you the necessary materials and answering any questions you may have. After pouring, receive 10% off all the products in our retail space!

Things To Keep In Mind

- $45 covers the entire pouring process. 

- Customers are welcome to BYOB. A fee of $8 will be charged per 6-pack or bottle of wine. Seltzers, beer, and wine only. 

- For safety purposes, food is not allowed in the workshop space. If you'd like to rent our space for a private event and bring food, gifts, etc, inquire here.

- Candles will be ready for pickup 3 hours after pouring or can be shipped for $12 per candle. 

- While reservations are not required, we highly recommend them! Each location has set pouring times with a limited number of seats. See above calendar for current availability. 

- Age requirements: because our candle pouring workshops include handling hot wax and fragrance oils, children must be 5 years and older to participate. Anyone under 18 must have a guardian present to sign their waiver. Additionally, children under 5 are not permitted in the workshop space. Safety first!

We can't wait to meet your group! If you have any other questions, check out our FAQ page here.
