Bring Your Own Vessel Workshop: Boston
Create candles as unique as you are! Bring your own vessels, and we’ll help you transform them into custom candles you’ll love. You bring the containers, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Each class participant receives 18oz of wax and fragrance oil—enough for approximately one large candle, two medium candles, or 3–5 small candles. Our expert chandlers will guide you through crafting your unique fragrance and pouring it into your chosen vessels.
Not sure what to bring? Here’s a simple rule of thumb: if it can safely hold boiling water, it can become a candle!
Let’s get creative and have some fun!
Plus, workshop attendees get an exclusive 15% discount in-store on the day of the workshop! Not local? We can ship your custom candles for a flat rate.
Pick up your finished creations the next day or let us handle the shipping. Reserve your spot and get ready to explore a world of scent!

Workshop Details
1) Age limitations
Unless otherwise indicated, workshops at Candlefish are designed for adults ages 15 and older. Because our candle workshops are BYOB, involve high temperatures, and are intended for adults, we aim to create an adult friendly atmosphere.
2) Punctuality
We get it, things happen and you run late from time to time. Although we won’t give you a tardy slip for being late to class, please be aware that classes start promptly at the designated time.
If you are going to be late*, please call the shop ahead of time and let us know, otherwise we may begin the class without you and we don’t want to do that!
*If you or any members of your group are going to be over 15 minutes late, we ask that you reschedule for a later date to allow us a chance to book your open seats. You can easily reschedule your class via your confirmation email prior to the class start time.
Classes typically run for 1.5 hours.
Private Classes: If you are interested in a private group class click here!
3) Cancellation Policy
For cancellations made at least 48 hours (two days) in advance, simply use the prompts within your workshop confirmation email to either reschedule your workshop or go through with a refund.
For cancellations made less than 48 hours (two days) in advance: You can either reschedule your workshop from within your confirmation email, or contact the store for a Gift card/class credit issued in the amount of class fee.
4) Changing Class Dates
In the event that something comes up and you need to change your class registration, you can easily reschedule your class via your confirmation email prior to the class start time.
5) Candle Pick-Up
The candles you make in class will cure overnight at Candlefish, and are ready to be picked up the day following your workshop. Candlefish will babysit your candles for one week following your candle class, so please make arrangements to pick up before the end of the week!
