Make Your Own Essential Oil Candle | Private Workshops in Austin & Cedar Park
Thirdseer Mobile Candle Workshop
Thirdseer brings the candle-making experience directly to your space, whether that's a home, office, event venue, or wellness studio. There are two ways to experience it depending on your group size and what you are looking for.

The Candle Workshop
For groups of 4 to 20
Gather your people for a hands-on candle making experience built around intention and personal expression. Each guest blends their own signature scent using a curated selection of 9 pure essential oils, then hand-pours an 8 oz soy wax candle into a glass amber vessel to take home.
Spend the first hour in a hands-on aromatherapy and essential oil blending experience, learning about the oils as you craft your signature scent and hand-pour your candle. The remaining 30 minutes are for designing your own DIY label and closing out with candle care tips so you know exactly how to get the best burn from what you made. By the time the workshop ends at 1.5 hours, your candle is set and safe to travel with.
Every candle that leaves this workshop is one of a kind.
What to Expect
Intention Setting
Begin by exploring the feeling or purpose you want your candle to carry.
Scent Blending
Choose from 9 pure essential oils and craft a natural fragrance that is uniquely yours.
Candle Pouring
Hand-pour your custom blend into an 8 oz glass amber vessel with a cotton wick.
DIY Label Making
While your candle cures, design your own hand-lettered label using blank labels and markers. Name your blend, write a word that matters to you, or keep it simple. There is no wrong way to do it.
Candle Care
Learn how to care for your candle so it burns clean and lasts. Tips are covered during cure time so you leave confident in what you made.
Mindful Connection
Share the experience together in a small, intentional group setting.

The Candle Bar
For groups of 20 or more
The Candle Bar is the pop-up version of the Thirdseer experience. It moves a little faster and keeps things simple without losing the intention behind what you are making. It can be booked as a station for 2 to 4 hours, so guests can step away from the party, make their candle, and return to collect it when it is ready. The rest of your event keeps moving.
Each guest chooses their scent from a curated selection of 6 pure essential oils and hand-pours a 4 oz soy wax candle into a glass amber vessel. Candles are set aside to cure on a dedicated table while guests enjoy the rest of the event. About 20 minutes later, everyone returns to collect theirs.
Personal, low-pressure, and something real to take home.
