Our private classes are a beautiful creative experience in our new classroom. Each person in your group will design their own signature scent, learn the fundamentals of candle-making, and craft two custom candles to take home. Work colleagues, book clubs, scout groups, classes, birthday parties, reunions, bachelorette gatherings, and more have made candles with us.
Expert Guidance: Our classes are led by Edgewater Candles founder, Mark, who will walk you through the entire process, teach you about candle care, and answer any questions you have about fragrance, small business, and more.
Custom Scent Creation: Blend and remix fragrances from our collection, including our signature scents, Zodiac, and Vault creations, to craft your one-of-a-kind scent.
Hands-On Crafting: Each participant makes two 6 oz travel tin candles in their custom scent. Ask about specialty vessels if you want to upgrade your experience.
All Materials Provided: We supply everything you need just bring yourself! You are welcome to BYOB (skip the hard stuff).
Take Home Your Candles: Your candles will be ready to take home at the end of class.
Duration: Approximately 90-120 minutes.

What are your candles made from?
Edgewater Candles are made from midwestern soy wax, cotton wicks, and a blend of essential oils and phthalate-free scented oils. Using only these simple materials, with no additives or dyes, our candles are vegan, clean burning, long lasting, and cruelty-free.
Can I bring empty Mason Jars back for you to reuse or recycle?
Yes! When you return our containers to us for reuse or recycling, you'll get 10% off your purchase on the day you bring them back. Our store is located at 1050 W Bryn Mawr Ave. in Chicago, and we're open 11am - 6pm every day.
How long do your candles last?
Our 12oz Mason Jar candles burn for approximately 75 hours, and our 6oz Travel Tins burn for approximately 35 hours. To get the longest burn time from your candle, allow the wax to melt across to all edges of the container before extinguishing. This will help avoid “tunneling”, which can prevent some of the wax from being used. Keeping the wick trimmed will also ensure a longer burn time.

Yes. We make our candles and all of our products by hand in Illinois.
