Sand Art
Layered Candle
Workshop
Layer vibrant coloured wax to create your own miniature landscape in a candle
Join this sand art candle making workshop in Stratford and design your own colourful layered creation — a unique piece made by carefully building vibrant wax granules to form beautiful gradients, patterns, and scenes.
This workshop is beginner-friendly, relaxing, and easy to follow. You'll be guided through every layer in a supportive environment, so there's no need to worry about technique. It's the perfect way to switch off and play with colour.
Follow one of our inspiration templates — like the iconic Starry Night or Water Lilies — or go completely freestyle and design something that's entirely your own. BYOB welcome.
Everything is provided — just show up
Take home your finished piece same day in beautiful packaging.
Create your own colours and blend them to match your design vision perfectly.

Choose from a curated selection of fragrances to scent your creation.
Your candle is packed beautifully — perfect for gifting or displaying at home.

Welcome & Get Started
Arrive at the studio and get a quick introduction to the materials, colours, and layering techniques. Your instructor will walk you through everything before you begin.
Design Your Candle
Freely create your own design or take inspiration from our templates. Decide on your colour palette, pattern, and overall vision before you start layering.
Mix Your Colours
Blend and customise your wax colours to match your design. Mix shades, create gradients, and build your own unique palette from our full range of candle dyes.
Create Your Scent
Select from a range of premium essential oils and blend a fragrance you love. Your candle will smell just as beautiful as it looks.
Layer & Build
Carefully layer the coloured wax to create smooth gradients, bold patterns, and unique effects. This is the most meditative part — slow, satisfying, and creative.
