Make a Candle, Make a Difference
Join us for a 1 hour hands-on group candle making class using soy wax and reusable glass containers, perfect for teams, workplaces, and group bookings.
You'll learn the history of candles, how to choose the right wick and prepare your wax and fragrance, and how our fully circular business model eliminates waste from home fragrances.
Each guest makes two candles — one to take home, and one upcycled candle donated to survivors of domestic violence to help light up their new home.
Perfect For Any Group
Our workshops are a great fit for school groups, retirement villages, work teams, client entertainment, hens' parties, friend groups, and fundraisers — any occasion where people want a hands-on, feel-good experience with real impact.
Location Options
On-site at your workplace for up to 50 people per hour session or at our CandleXchange warehouse in Brookvale (minimum 8 people, up to 30 guests).
After the workshop
Your candles need time to set before they're ready to take home. You can collect them after the workshop or arrange delivery.
Once you've finished using your candle at home, swap it for a new one at 30% off.

Book Club Christmas
Our bookclub loved our candle making workshop with Karen & Hayley from CandleXchange!
It was informative, interesting and fun and incredibly meaningful to be able to give back and brighten up someone’s day by making and when donating a candle!

Mothers's Day treat
We did this as a family as a belated Mother's Day Gift. We were taught a lot about candles and the things to look out for when buying sustainable candles (NOTE: They must be 100% Soy!). The class was entertaining and everyone loved the additional contribution to needy families.
Keep up the great work Banish & CandleXchange. We will recommend this class to others.

Just for fun
Such a great course. Hayley and Karen were so lovely and very knowledgeable about candles. We also learnt about the ethos behind CandleXchange and the great work that they do giving back to the community. It felt great to make a candle that would be given to someone in need. Definitely recommend this course.
