A candle making workshop in Singapore is a hands-on session where you pour, scent, and decorate your own candle to take home, usually in about an hour. At White Pixies you can do it as a couple, with friends, with your kids, or as a full team, either in our studio near Marymount or at your own venue.
If you have been looking for something to do that is calm, creative, and gives you a keepsake at the end, this guide walks through what actually happens in a class, the workshops you can choose from, who each one suits, and how booking works.
What happens in a candle making workshop
Every session is guided start to finish, so you do not need any experience. A typical signature class runs like this:
- You pick a fragrance, often blending two or three scents into something that is yours.
- Your instructor walks you through melting, colouring, and pouring the wax safely.
- While the candle sets, you design and add decorative wax toppings.
- You leave with a finished candle, packaged and ready to gift or keep.
Workstations are laid out before you arrive and everything is prepped, so the time is spent making, not setting up. Most people are surprised by how relaxing it feels once the scents come out.
The workshops you can choose from
White Pixies runs seven signature workshops. Each one is fully customisable, and the full details sit on the workshops page:
- Candle Making, the signature pour-and-decorate session.
- Macaron Candle (Wax Piping), where you pipe cream wax into adorable macaron candles.

- Essential Oil Roll-On, a quick aromatherapy blending session.
- Botanical Reed Diffuser, with dried flowers and your own scent.

Who candle making workshops are for
The same craft works for very different occasions, which is why these classes have become a go-to in Singapore:
- Couples. A quieter alternative to dinner and a movie. See our guide to a candle making date night in Singapore.
- Teams. A low-pressure way for colleagues to talk and make something together. More in corporate candle making team building.
- Families and kids. Birthday parties and school holiday outings. See kids candle making workshops.
- Celebrations. Hen's parties, bridal showers, and group birthdays.
How long it takes and how pricing works
Sessions run from about 30 minutes for the shorter blending classes up to two hours for the signature pour. Pricing depends on the workshop, your group size, and any custom touches like branded labels for a corporate event. Because every booking is customised, the price is shared when you enquire, with larger groups and add-ons quoted on request.
Where the workshops happen
You have two options. Come to the White Pixies studio at 47 Jalan Pemimpin near Marymount, where everything is set up for you. Or have the team come to you: on-location workshops and staffed live stations run across Singapore for offices, function spaces, and event venues.
How to book
Booking takes a couple of minutes. Choose your workshop, date, time, and group size on the booking page, and the team confirms within 24 hours by WhatsApp or email. Studio sessions seat up to 28 people, and larger groups are welcome on location.
