Bendy Candle Workshops

Let's get creative making bendy candles - affectionately known as Bendy Boys.

Since 2021, we've been hosting this infamous little ditty, the Bendy Candle workshop, and now it's time to share the tips and tricks with you.

Who it's for

We'll customise the workshop to suit the host.

Hen parties

Let us bring the party to you with a workshop designed to bring colour, sparkle and personality. Every hen is personalised to the bride — her name and fave things painted onto the placemat. Host at one of our venues (cocktails!) or we come to you.

Office socials

In charge of the social but sick of just going to the pub? We can come to your HQ or get you out of the office for a few hours. Everyone leaves relaxed, inspired and holding something they made — and yes, we'll brand the placemats with your logo.

Brand Events

Adding a creative activity to a bigger event, or bringing clients together? We build bespoke workshops and products to your brief — Pinterest Projects, the Rachel Chinouriri album launch for Warner Music, and TikTok's top lifestyle creators, to name a few.

What you take home

During the class we guide you step-by-step through the candle-making process. You'll pick your colour palette, play with different styles, and leave with a set that's completely yours.

5 candles to take home

Bend, twist and sculpt a full set of dinner candles. You'll then take the finished candles home with you in your own paper bag.

Hand-painted motifs

Pick your palette and paint your own designs. Flowers, cherries, initials - the options are endless.

Step-by-step hosting

Your teacher walks you through the whole process, sharing all the tips and tricks along the way.

Made personal

The bride's favourite motifs, your office logo on the placemats, or a fully branded experience.

How the workshop runs

Ninety minutes, drink in hand, with your teacher guiding every step.

01

Warm and bend

Learn how to soften the wax and shape your first taper — twists, waves, curls, whatever you fancy.

02

Sculpt your set

Build up a set of five candles, playing with different shapes and colour combinations as you go.

03

Paint and finish

Hand-paint motifs, initials or florals, then wrap the finished set to take straight home.
