- Types of Waxes
In candle making, selecting the right wax is crucial to achieving the desired result. During the workshop, you’ll learn about the various types of waxes commonly used for candle making, such as:
- Paraffin Wax: The most commonly used wax, known for its affordability and ease of use.

We will also teach you how to choose the right wax for different purposes, whether for aromatherapy candles, decorative candles, or candles with long burn times.

The wick is the heart of the candle, and its size and material are crucial for ensuring the candle burns properly.

You’ll also learn how to match the wick size to the diameter of your candle to ensure an even burn.
