Candle Making Workshop Singapore
Quick answer: A candle making workshop in Singapore starts from $32/pax. It’s a relaxed, guided session where you make your own scented candle from scratch — choosing your wax, scent and decorations. No experience needed, groups from 5 pax up to unlimited, and you can pick soy or gel candles (or do it virtually with a kit sent to your door). Team Building Games Singapore runs it as a stress-relief and team-bonding activity at air-conditioned venues across the island.
Imagine unwinding after a stressful day by lighting a fragrant candle you made yourself — the things we create with our own hands always feel that bit more special. A candle making workshop is a fun, calming way to do exactly that, whether it’s for a team-building day, a birthday or just a creative afternoon out. This guide walks you through what a candle making workshop involves, the types of candles you can make, the benefits, and how much it costs — so there are no surprises before you book. Candle making is also offered by our sister brand, FunEmpire, if you’re comparing options.
What Is a Candle Making Workshop?
A candle making workshop is usually a two to three-hour guided session where participants make their own candles from scratch. The most common technique is the pour-over candle, where melted wax is poured into a container and left to cool and set. There are other styles too — dipped candles (wax repeatedly dipped to build up layers) and rolled candles (a sheet of wax rolled around a wick) — but for a beginner-friendly, giftable result, poured soy and gel candles are the most popular.
What to Expect at a Candle Making Workshop
- Learn about the components that go into a scented candle.
- Choose and prepare your materials — your wax type and essential oils.
- Customise your scent using aromatherapy techniques, testing and combining oils to suit your own preferences.
- Make your candle from the ground up: melting the wax, preparing the wick, and pouring.
- Decorate your candle — including a wide range of figurines to make it your own.
- Take home your finished candle, hand-wrapped and ready to gift.
Types of Candles You Can Make
The two most popular options are soy candles — made from natural, clean-burning soy wax — and gel candles, which are translucent and let you suspend decorative pieces inside. Prefer to make candles at home? There’s also a virtual soy candle making workshop, where a complete candle making kit is delivered to your door and a facilitator guides you online — ideal for remote teams or a DIY session from the comfort of home.
Benefits of a Candle Making Workshop
Creativity
Choosing scents, colours and decorations gets your creative juices flowing — the same kind of creative problem-solving that’s valuable back at work, in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
Communication
Making something together gives teams a shared goal and plenty to talk about, helping colleagues bond as they compare scents and swap tips.
Stress relief
Candle making is calming and hands-on — the perfect way to destress. You get to slow down, focus on something soothing, and walk away with a beautiful candle to use or give as a gift.
Do You Need Any Experience?
Not at all. Professional facilitators guide you through the whole process, from the basics right through to your finished candle, and they’re on hand if you hit any snags. Just come with an open mind — you’ll be surprised what you can create.
