Crystal Candle Making Workshop by WICKKA STUDIO

A candle workshop gets more personal when you choose not just the fragrance, but also the crystals and the intention behind the finished piece. At WICKKA STUDIO, you’ll make a 5oz soy-wax candle in a wooden-wick jar, with hosts Megan and Jerald guiding you through the process.

I like the hands-on choices, from mixing a custom scent to selecting crystals, and the small, personal touches, including a printed name label and, in some sessions, a complimentary bracelet-making activity. The two-hour format gives you room to make decisions without rushing.

One thing to keep in mind: the candle needs time to set, so the session includes some waiting. You may spend that time choosing crystals or making a bracelet, but this is a calm craft activity, not a fast in-and-out attraction.

Key points

• Make a 5oz candle from soy wax with a wooden wick, and take home the candle jar.
• Blend your own fragrance from a selection of oils, then decorate your candle with crystals.
• Choose crystals with meaning as part of a manifestation-style candle-making session.
• Plan for two hours, including time for the candle to set.
• Expect a welcoming, beginner-friendly class with guidance from Megan and Jerald.
• Find the studio at 261 Lavender Street, with Bendemeer and Boon Keng MRT stations nearby.

The workshop begins with a simple idea: make a candle that feels like yours, rather than following a fixed design. You can choose a fragrance, select crystals, and personalize the finished jar with a name label. The result is both a small craft project and a keepsake you can use at home or give as a gift.

You’ll work with soy wax and a wooden wick. The hosts explain the candle-making steps as you go, including how to heat the wax and blend in your chosen oils. You don’t need any craft experience. The instructions are designed for beginners, and the process is guided rather than left to guesswork.

Fragrance choice is a central part of the experience. You get to smell the available oils and decide what combination suits you. If you’re making a candle with someone else, this can be a fun point of difference: one person may prefer a fresh scent, while the other leans toward something warmer. The workshop gives you time to compare and choose instead of making a snap decision.

The candle in the standard package is 5oz. Different colors and sizes may be available for an additional charge, so ask about options and any top-up before you begin if you have a particular jar in mind. The included candle jar, wax, wick, crystals, label, and kraft paper bag mean you leave with a finished item rather than a promise to complete it later.

Crystals add a personal layer

The crystal element gives the class its distinctive character. You can choose from a wide range of crystals to decorate your candle, and the hosts explain the meanings associated with different stones. These associations are best treated as personal symbolism, not a guarantee of any particular result. The enjoyable part is deciding what you want your candle to represent.

That choice can make the activity feel more thoughtful than a standard craft class. You might choose stones to reflect a goal or quality you want to focus on, or simply pick the ones you find attractive. There is no need to arrive with a detailed plan. You can hear about the options and make your selections as you go.

I’d think of the manifestation angle as a creative prompt. It gives you a reason to pause and decide what you want to put into the candle, while the actual making remains practical: wax, scent, wick, jar, and decoration. If crystals are not your thing, the fragrance-blending and candle-making still give the workshop a clear purpose.

The unlimited range of crystals is included, which is useful if you like to take your time comparing stones. Rather than choosing from a single preset design, you can make a candle that looks and smells different from someone else’s. That freedom is especially handy if you’re making a present and want it to feel considered.

Two hours, with time for the wax to set

The session lasts about 120 minutes. That gives the hosts room to explain the materials, help you blend your scent, and guide you through making the candle. It also accounts for the time the wax needs to cool and set. Don’t book this expecting a quick 30-minute stop between other plans.

The setting time is not necessarily dead time. Some sessions include a complimentary bracelet-making activity while the candle hardens, and refreshments are provided. The bracelet is a welcome extra, but it is not listed among the standard included items, so treat it as something that may be offered rather than a guaranteed part of every booking.

The pace is relaxed and suited to conversation. Couples can make their own candles side by side, while friends can compare scents and crystal choices. If you’re attending alone, the small studio format and step-by-step instruction make the activity approachable without requiring you to bring a group.

Private sessions for you and your group can be arranged upon request. The exact group size is not specified, so contact the studio before booking if you’re planning a birthday or another gathering. Time slots are offered at half-hour intervals, with sessions described as available between 11am and 9pm.

Friendly instruction matters more than craft skills

Megan and Jerald are frequently named as the people leading the workshop. Their role is more than demonstrating the steps: they explain wax, oils, wicks, and crystals, and help you make choices without taking over your design. That balance is valuable if you’re new to candle-making and unsure how much guidance you’ll need.

The instruction is described as patient and easy to follow. You can expect a guided process rather than a formal lecture, with room to ask questions about the ingredients and the meanings attached to crystals. The relaxed approach suits people who want a shared activity as much as those who are genuinely curious about the craft.

A private studio can also make a difference to the feel of the class. The space is described as cosy, and the small-scale setup supports a more personal session than a large group demonstration. If you want the workshop exclusively for your own party, request that arrangement ahead of time rather than assuming every time slot is private.

What the price gets you

The listed starting price is $49.89, while the package price is also shown as US$45.39. Since the figures are displayed in different currency formats, check the booking page’s currency and final total before paying. The standard package is the two-hour workshop for one 5oz candle.

The value depends partly on what you want from the outing. You’re paying for instruction, materials, fragrance choices, crystals, a jar, a customized label, refreshments, and a take-home candle. If you’re looking for the cheapest way to buy a candle, this will not be it. If you want to make one yourself and enjoy a guided activity along the way, the price covers more than the finished product.

The experience is also well suited to a date or a small celebration. You get an activity to share, but each person still makes a personal candle. That avoids the common problem of a group craft session where everyone ends up with nearly identical results. Do check the cost of any larger jar or color upgrade before deciding, since variations may require an extra payment.

Getting to WICKKA STUDIO

The studio is at 261 Lavender Street, #03-01, Singapore 338794. Bendemeer MRT and Boon Keng MRT are the nearest stations listed. Bus 145 stops at 07241 Bef S’goon Road, and there is an open-space car park behind the shophouse, listed as car park S0049.

Give yourself a little time to find the correct unit. The meeting point is on the third floor, so follow the address carefully rather than relying only on the street number. Arrive 10 minutes before your booked start time; late arrivals and no-shows are not eligible for a refund under the stated cancellation terms.

The studio’s operating hours are listed as Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 10pm. Workshop bookings are described as available daily between 11am and 9pm, at half-hour intervals. Because those hours differ slightly, use the time shown on your confirmed booking as your guide.

Who will enjoy this workshop most

This is a good pick if you like making things, enjoy scented candles, or want an activity where the finished item has a personal touch. It also works well as a couples’ outing, a relaxed session with a friend, or a creative gift-making activity. Participants must be at least 12 years old.

You do not need to know anything about candles or crystals before you arrive. The hosts explain the process, and the activity is listed as beginner-friendly. If you’re interested in crystals, you’ll have time to hear about their symbolic meanings and choose your own. If you’re less interested in that side, you can focus on the scent, look, and craft of the candle.

It may be a less satisfying choice if you’re short on time or prefer activities with a lot of movement. The session takes two hours, and the candle has to set before it is ready to take home. The unhurried pace is part of the appeal, but it does mean you should leave space in your schedule.

Booking details to check before you go

The voucher is valid only on the date and time specified. Changes are allowed up to 24 hours before the activity, though some bookings cannot be changed, including those made with Klook Pass, under pre-sales, with a freebie, or using SG Culture Pass or Taiwan Culture Points. The voucher must also have been issued for a change to be possible.

You can receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the activity date, based on local time. Late arrivals and no-shows are not refundable. If the operator cancels because of unforeseen events or extreme weather, you can request a reschedule or a full refund, subject to availability. Contact WICKKA STUDIO for changes or refund requests.

Should you book it?

Book this workshop if you want a calm, hands-on Singapore activity and like the idea of taking home a candle you designed yourself. The custom fragrance, crystal selection, friendly instruction, and personalized label give the two hours a clear shape, while the option of bracelet-making can make the waiting time feel more like part of the visit.

Skip it if you want a quick activity, are not interested in crafts, or would rather buy a ready-made candle. For a date, a friend outing, or a thoughtful handmade gift, though, WICKKA STUDIO offers a personal and manageable way to spend an afternoon. Ask about private-group arrangements and any jar upgrades before booking.
