Watch the cast of The Party take our Candle Making Class and design custom scents for each of their characters!

Classes are taught by Benjamin Krudwig, Cantrip Candles' Production Lead and Scent Designer.

At our Candle Making Class, you'll learn from the best. If you've ever been whisked into a magical world by one of our candles, it's thanks to Benjamin and his skill at designing incredible scents and pouring them into beautiful candles.

Benjamin's favorite part of the TTRPG space is the opportunity to jump into the lives of new characters and experience fantastical stories. Ben can often be found lighting a Forest of Fae candle when they feel the need to be transported to a faraway land.

About Candle Making Classes

Our Candle Making Class takes place at our production space located at 5427 Santa Monica Blvd 1/2.

Candle making typically takes 90 minutes and the candle will take an additional 2 hours to solidify. You will be able to pick up your candle at our storefront during our regular hours or you can arrange for shipping at no additional cost.

Classes are suitable for ages 15+. Pets are not allowed in the studio. We love pets, but fragrances and hot wax are not suitable for pets or young children (under 15 years old). Each person who attends a workshop must have a ticket. Due to the limited size of our workshop space, we do not allow anyone to watch or participate in the class without a ticket. This candle making workshop is a group workshop.

By attending this class I am attesting that I have not experienced symptoms of fever, fatigue, difficulty in breathing, or dry cough or exhibiting any other symptoms relating COVID-19 within the last 14 days.

Candle making involves the use of hot wax and fragrance oils. While everything we work with is non-toxic it does have an intended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring anything?
No! Just your imagination! Our classes come fully equipped with all tools and supplies needed. To ensure quality, we do not accept any external oils or vessels.

Can we do group rentals?
Absolutely, groups are encouraged and can either book all slots at once, or call the shop to schedule a private class. Prices depend on desired day of the week and group size.

Does it have to be fantasy themed?
No! While we specialize in the field of fantasy immersion, we're also happy to help you make whatever candle you want! Lots of students create beautiful candles without any knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons.

Is there parking?
We don't have onsite parking, but there's parking available in the nearby neighborhood, and across the freedway on Serrano Ave. We recomend you arrive early to make time to park.

Can I bring my pet?
We love all animals, and even have a section of pet toys, but the class is not the best environment for furry friends. Only service animals are allowed to attend. However, pets are more than welcome in the storefront during regular retail hours.
