About this experience
Unleash your creativity in this hands-on dip-dye candle workshop, where you'll transform 10 vegan stearin wax taper candles into your own colorful designs.
Guided step by step, you'll explore different dipping techniques, layering methods, and seasonal color combinations. Mix, experiment, and play with contrast to create modern, artistic candles - whether minimal, bold, or expressive. No prior experience is needed.
A curated range of colors is available, varying by season to reflect current palettes and design trends. Each participant leaves with 10 uniquely decorated taper candles, perfect for your own home or as thoughtful, handmade gifts.
While you create, enjoy complimentary refreshments in the inspiring atmosphere of the Galleria Lucia Atelier. You'll also receive practical guidance on safe candle burning and tips on choosing sustainable, non-toxic candles in the future.
This workshop is also available as a private event and is ideal for corporate team-building experiences, birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties, baby showers, or creative gatherings with friends. Private bookings and off-site workshops can be arranged upon request.
All workshops are held in English.
