Carved Candle Business Workshop

This workshop is for candle maker's, and those wanting to become candle maker's, interested in adding dip and carve candles to their business or wanting to start a dip and carve candle business of their own. We have done the work and research for you. You just have to come learn the skill in our shop.

This workshop is only open to professionals who are at least 50 Miles Away from a Hemp Wick Candles Store and have a registered business. Sole proprietor businesses can also attend by showing proof of business operation for at least one year. Please call to book. There may be a waiting list. First come, first serve. 

Please note this is not for hobbyist! This is an expensive skill to learn and start up. Average start up costs not including this workshop are $5,000. Even if you have carved wood or pottery, it is not the same. The average candle carver takes at least a year of practice before they can produce a safe quality product to sell. This workshop will help you learn the basics hands on with an experienced carver. Serious inquiries only. 

The workshop is a one on one workshop that is 5 days long. Workshop days are held Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 5pm or during normal listed retail hours. You can buy additional practice days after purchasing the main workshop. 

Candle maker's will learn the art of candle carving, tips and tricks, where to buy equipment and supplies, as well as pricing, packaging, and shipping. Everything maker's learn will be inside a workbook they get to keep. 

Candle Maker's will get the chance to dip and carve each day of class and keep their creations. A completion certificate will be given to each attendee at the end of the workshop.
