Candle Bar
Melbourne's first candle bar — now pouring in Brunswick

What it is
A guided, hands-on candle-making experience inspired by Melbourne’s hospo culture — a 90-minute session with a curated menu of elevated, seasonal fragrances, plus a drink and something to nibble as you pour.


The experience
Take a window seat and settle in. This isn’t your usual DIY workshop — it’s a guided, sensory experience designed to slow the pace and make space to play and create.

 

You’ll choose from a curated menu of fragrances and vessels — more like ordering from your favourite bar than a DIY class. No overwhelm, no guesswork — just a refined experience where everything works beautifully together. 

 

Then, something unexpected. 

Choose your vessel: Tempered crystal stemware, a café latte cup, or a cocktail shaker. Not the standard jars you’d expect, but pieces drawn from the rituals of drinking and dining — reimagined as candles. Crafted from heat-safe materials including tempered or borosilicate glass and stainless steel, each one is designed to live on — something you’ll want to keep and reuse long after your candle has burned.

 

It’s all part of our circular design philosophy. Wherever possible, we choose vessels worth keeping — reducing waste while creating objects that feel considered, functional and at home in your space.
