Blend your own scent from a library of more than fifteen fragrance oils.
Book on WhatsAppMost candle workshops hand you three fragrances and a wick. This one is closer to a perfumery bench. You work from more than fifteen fragrance oils and build a scent rather than pick one, so the candle you take home is yours alone.
The session begins with smelling. You work through the fragrance library and find what you are drawn to, then learn how scents are structured — the bright top note you meet first, the heart that carries the character, and the base that lingers in a room hours later. From there you blend.
Allergen-free fragrance options are available — tell us when you book and we will set your station up accordingly.
This workshop draws a different crowd from our clay sessions. It suits people who want to make something without getting their hands dirty, and it has become a favourite for gatherings — bridal groups, team afternoons, milestone birthdays. Because the outcome is highly personal and beautifully packaged, it is also the workshop people choose when they are making a gift rather than something for themselves.
It pairs well with ceramic painting for longer group bookings, where guests move between two tables across an afternoon.
Unlike our pottery workshops, there is no kiln and no waiting. Your candle sets during the session and you take it home with you the same day, finished and labelled. We include care guidance for the first burn, which matters more than most people expect — the first burn sets the memory of the wax and determines how evenly the candle burns for the rest of its life.
The boutique candle workshop at ROA Art is AED 150 per person for a session of about 1.5 hours. That includes access to the full fragrance library of more than fifteen premium oils, natural soy wax, a wooden wick and vessel, hand-pressed dried florals and your own canvas label. Unlike our pottery workshops there is no kiln firing, so your candle goes home with you the same day.
Yes. There is no kiln firing involved, so your candle sets during the session and leaves with you finished and labelled. We will also talk you through the first burn, which should run long enough for the wax to melt fully across the surface — this prevents tunnelling and makes the candle burn evenly for the rest of its life.
Allergen-free fragrance options are available. Let us know when you book and we will prepare your station with a suitable selection. If you are joining a group and would prefer to work with a lighter or unscented base, that is straightforward to arrange — just mention it in your WhatsApp message beforehand.
Yes, and it is one of our most popular formats for bridal parties, team afternoons and milestone celebrations because the result is personal and packaged well as a gift. We can host at the studio in Ras Al Khaimah or bring the workshop to your venue anywhere in the UAE. Message us with your group size and date for details.
