Candle Making classes with a sustainable difference
Join us for a candle making class using soy wax and reusable glass containers.
Led by our resident candle maker and Sustainability expert, Hayley, you can expect:
- Learn how to create your own eco-friendly candles using natural ingredients and reusable materials,
- Understand how we created a fully circular business model eliminating waste from the luxury of home fragrances
- Discover the fascinating history of candles, the best choice of materials and the basics of creating soy wax candles, including how to choose the right wick, how to prepare your wax and fragrances, and tips for using reusable glass containers.
- Make two candles, one of which you will take home for yourself the second will be an upcycled candle donated to survivors of domestic violence to light up their new home.
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or simply looking to live more sustainably, this workshop is a great way to learn new skills and connect with like-minded people.

- Once you finish using your candle at home, you can swap it for a new candle 30% cheaper (or $12 off any candle in the CandleXchange collection).

Book Club Christmas
Our bookclub loved our candle making workshop with Karen & Hayley from CandleXchange!
It was informative, interesting and fun and incredibly meaningful to be able to give back and brighten up someone’s day by making and when donating a candle!

Mothers's Day treat
We did this as a family as a belated Mother's Day Gift. We were taught a lot about candles and the things to look out for when buying sustainable candles (NOTE: They must be 100% Soy!). The class was entertaining and everyone loved the additional contribution to needy families.
Keep up the great work Banish & CandleXchange. We will recommend this class to others.

Just for fun
Such a great course. Hayley and Karen were so lovely and very knowledgeable about candles. We also learnt about the ethos behind CandleXchange and the great work that they do giving back to the community. It felt great to make a candle that would be given to someone in need. Definitely recommend this course.
