A candle bar is a space where you choose the scent, colour and decoration and take home a candle you made yourself. At Candle & Glow we go one step further: you create the container too, from scratch, and then turn it into a candle.
In short: €40 per person · about 2 hours · waffle and non-alcoholic drink included · you take your candle home the same day · Carrer d'Erasme de Janer, 9, 3 minutes from Sant Antoni metro.
What is a candle bar
It is a format that has become popular in recent years: a bar with scents, colours and decorations where everyone puts together their own candle just the way they like it, with no need to know anything about candles.
Most of them work the same way: you pick a ready-made jar from a shelf and fill it with wax. It is quick and fun, but the container is the same for everyone.
What makes Candle & Glow different
At Candle & Glow the container is not chosen: it is created. Everyone makes their own jar with water-based acrylic resin, picks their colours and, once it is ready, fills it with vegetable wax and their scent.
That is why no two candles are alike at the end of the session. The jar is yours from start to finish, and when the candle burns out, it is still an object you can reuse.
What the experience is like, step by step
- Arrival and welcome. We explain how the session works and which materials you will use. We recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes early: the resin needs its time and we all start together.
- You create the container. You choose colours and shape your resin jar. It is the most creative part and the one that makes each piece unique.
- Waiting time, with a snack. The resin takes about 50 minutes to set. In the meantime, you enjoy the waffle and drink that are included.
- Scent and wax. You choose the fragrance and prepare the vegetable wax, made from soy or coconut.
- Fill and decorate. You pour the wax into your container and, if you like, decorate it with dried flowers, orange or cinnamon.
- You take it home. The candle leaves the studio with you that same day.
