Class Description

Description

Classes are back! 10 students or less, hand washing station and sanitizer available. We ask all students to keep in compliance with face coverings, let's stay safe and have some fun together!

A class that offers not only candle making but also the art of cutting a glass wine bottle for your vessel! Join Chicago Candle Company and choose from one of our upcycled wine bottles or bring your favorite bottle from home and we will show you how easy it is to repurpose it into something amazing. This is the perfect girls' night, date night or team-building experience!

We will be covering introductory glass cutting and hand pouring of each candle with soy wax. Choose from different cocktail scents such as Barrel-Aged Bourbon, Old Fashioned Cocktail or Whiskey & Sweet Tobacco! Have fun learning something new and feel great that you will be taking home a soy candle you made yourself!

How to find us

Enter and/or park on Carpenter (parking is safe and free) and then walk in where it says "ENTRANCE TO COURTYARD" off Carpenter. You will see a big loading dock area, go up the wood stairs and there is a glass door on the RIGHT corner- you will enter there. Code for the door is *1079 and come up to the 4th floor, hang a right and walk all the way down. You will smell candles...follow your nose! ;)

  • DIY Cocktail Candles + Wine Bottle Cutting

    This class was cool! I didn't know what to expect with the wine bottle cutting but it was a pleasant and cool experience! Just make sure you pick a wine bottle with a flat bottom. I didn't and it kind of made it difficult for the candle process but my candle still turned out good! I took my mom and her friend for her birthday and they also had a fun time. Everyone should experience this class. I'll be back!
  • DIY Cocktail Candles + Wine Bottle Cutting

    This class was soo much fun! My girls and I had a great time- our candles smell soo good! Sara and Fernando are great instructors!!
  • DIY Cocktail Candles + Wine Bottle Cutting

    Instructor was very detailed on how to cut your own wine bottle and wanted to make sure you understood how to do it on your own if you wanted to repeat the process at home. Really fun class and would definitely recommend it to all my friends!

    Fernando was great, excellent at giving instructions and helping us make our candles. He has a fair amount of interesting wine bottles or you can bring your own and make whatever size candle you desire (within reason) The 2 hours flew by and we even ran a little long.

    This small family owned candle making company distributes their beautiful candles Nation-wide. Each glass container and candle is crafted by hand and yet, they find the time to share their mastery with us. So generous!! The class was perfect, I learned a lot and am inspired to make my own candles at home.
  • DIY Cocktail Candles + Wine Bottle Cutting

    Fernando was a kind, funny, and patient teacher! It was really cool to learn about this process (and a great arm workout too, ha ha). Made for a great birthday present for my friend, and both got to take home a keepsake of the experience. You get to choose your bottle, wax color, and scent -- so it's really personal. A great way to make use of a special wine bottle too.
  • DIY Cocktail Candles + Wine Bottle Cutting

    Overall, it was a great class and I learned a lot. It was extremely hot in there though. Also, need a 2nd instructor.
  • DIY Cocktail Candles + Wine Bottle Cutting

    Fernando and his wife were awesome! It was a fun, informative class and we took home beautiful candles. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.
