​

Our candlemaking classes in the Naperville area include approximately 30 minutes of active instruction, plus additional time for candles to set enough to take home. This downtime is perfect for guests to enjoy food and drinks, shop in a retail space, or participate in other activities at your event!

Depending on the size of your space, Indigo Creations candlemaking classes can comfortably instruct 6-25 guests per session. Larger groups can be accommodated with staggered instruction timeslots, provided time between sessions to clean, reset, and restock the workspace and materials.

Though we may assist with locating potential venues for Naperville candlemaking classes upon request, the workshop cost does not include venue costs or other accommodations (such as food) unless otherwise specified.
