Ever wondered what it was like to make your own candle?!

If you can’t tell, we are a bit obsessed here at Homemade NJ Candles with candle making!

One of our favorite things to do is host candle-making classes!

Come join us this weekend and make your own candles!

We will be at Angelico Winery in Lambertville, NJ on Friday and Twin Lights Brewing in Tinton Falls, NJ on Sunday hosting candle-making classes!

What do we do at candle-making classes?

We take you step-by-step through the process of making your very own candles!

When you arrive, we will start by walking you through the process and giving you the low-down on how the class will go. Then, you’ll be able to pick out and curate your very own scent for your two 16oz mason jar candles! After that, we’ll come around with hot wax and show you how to pour the candles! While the candles are drying, you’ll be able to design your own labels!

In the class, we explain the significance of soy wax, the type of wicks we use and why, and share some candle care tips to ensure you get the best life out of your candles!

We LOVE collaborating with local NJ businesses to host these classes! This makes the experience so much more fun for YOU! By collaborating with local NJ wineries and breweries, not only do you get two candles to take home, but you also get to make a night out of it!

We are so excited to be collaborating with Angelico Winery in Lambertville, NJ. Angelico Winery is a small, family-owned winery! Bringing together the cultures of Italy and China, each member of their family is special. They immigrated to the U.S. in 2002, passing through New York before settling in New Jersey. They have faced many trials to make New Jersey their current home. Over the years, each person has contributed to making the winery dream come true, helping to provide the best wine to their customers. Even the family dog stays on guard to make sure no animals cross into their vineyards!

By popular demand, we will be heading back to Twin Lights Brewing for another fun candle class! We have been hosting candle classes with Twin Lights for just about a year now, and every time we have events there, everyone has such a blast! Want to learn a bit about Twin Lights?!

Twin Lights dates back to 2016, when childhood friends Mike Betros and Will Grundmann decided to spend a Saturday afternoon doing something different: Brewing Beer. Both were raised in Middletown Township, and have roots along the Raritan Bay area of the Jersey Shore. They ultimately named their small operation after the Navesink Twin Lights Lighthouse, which currently sits in Highlands and overlooks Sandy Hook State Park. home-brewing for four years, they decided to turn it into a business in 2020, launching at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as a contract brewery. They brewed 100% of their beer at other breweries and did not have a physical brewery or tasting room of their own. They sold everything through restaurants, bars, and liquor stores.

After two years, Twin Lights opened its brewery and tasting room in the home of the former Jughandle Brewing Company in Tinton Falls on Labor Day weekend of 2022. With a focus on providing a quality atmosphere and experience, the brewery frequently hosts live events, including trivia, karaoke, local musicians, comedy, and more.

Want to join us on Sunday, August 18th for this class? You can grab your tickets here: Eventbrite.

We are SO excited for these last few candle-making classes of the summer! We hope to see you there!
