About this experience
Create the candle of your dreams in this premium scented candle workshop in Berlin, where creativity, sustainability, and craftsmanship come together. Hosted inside the Galleria Lucia Atelier, this immersive experience takes place in a historic artist building - a former factory now home to painters, designers, and makers. It's not a showroom or an office, but a real working candle atelier where so many candles come to life.
During the workshop, you'll design a fully customized scented candle from start to finish. Choose your candle jar color, hand-painted with sustainable, dishwasher-safe paints and designed to last up to 500 washes. Once your candle is finished, the glass can be reused as a drinking glass - making it both beautiful and responsible.
Select from a curated range of premium fragrance oils, choose wax colors, finishes, and optionally add crystals for a truly personal touch. You'll also create your own custom label, making each candle a one-of-a-kind piece.
While you create, enjoy complimentary tea, water, or wine, and learn expert tips on how to choose sustainable candles in the future and care for your candles so they burn cleaner and last longer.
Surrounded by hundreds of candles and the authentic atmosphere of a Berlin candle atelier, this workshop offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into small-scale candle making - creative, intimate, and unforgettable.
How does this experience take place?
Upon arrival at the Galleria Lucia Atelier, you'll be welcomed into a working candle studio and invited to choose complimentary refreshments, including tea, water, or wine. The workshop begins with a short introduction to scented candles and the craft behind them, before you start designing your own. You'll select the color of your reusable candle jar, explore a curated selection of premium fragrance oils, and learn about different candle finishes, wax colors, and optional crystal details. Once your design is complete, you'll be guided step by step through the candle-making and pouring process — no experience needed. As your candle sets, you'll add a custom label and enjoy the atelier atmosphere, surrounded by hundreds of candles. The experience concludes with practical tips on candle care to help your candle burn longer and cleaner, as well as guidance on how to choose sustainable candles in the future.
