Beginner to Advanced Candle Making

Start from zero and build every skill you need to make candles you’d be proud to sell.

This course takes you from your very first pour to advanced finishing techniques, built for true beginners with no prior experience. You’ll learn how to choose and weigh wax, size and prepare wicks, work with molds, and control temperature for a clean melt. From there, you’ll move into scented candles, additives, and decorative styles — botanical, ombre, decoupage, metallic, and pattern candles — before finishing with advanced techniques like frill, gel wax, concrete, and geode candles.

Along the way, you’ll learn to troubleshoot the problems every beginner hits: tunnelling, sinkholes, frosting, and wet spots.

80% of the course is recorded lessons you can work through at your own pace, and 20% is live feedback and Q&A — so when a batch goes wrong, you can show it to us and find out why.

By the end you’ll have a repeatable process, your own tested recipes, and the confidence to pour consistently.
