Discover the Art of Candle Making

Hand-Built Pottery – Gold Coast | Candles & Clay

Ticket Fee: $128.00AUD

Burleigh Heads pottery workshop at The Meraki Connection
Create three handcrafted pottery vessels and transform them into unique soy candles in this special two-part creative workshop.

Workshop Description

Candles & Clay is a two-part workshop experience that combines hand-built pottery with soy candle making.

In the first workshop, you’ll create three hand-built ceramic vessels designed specifically for candles. You’ll shape and refine your pieces before selecting your preferred glaze colour, which will be professionally applied once the pottery has dried.

After approximately 4 weeks, once your pottery has been glazed and fired, you’ll return to the studio for the second workshop. In this session, you’ll take part in a guided soy candle making experience, transforming your ceramic vessels into three unique handcrafted soy candles.

There is no collection between sessions — your finished pottery remains with us until the candle workshop.
