We warmly invite you to immerse your senses and turn your hand to the time-honoured craft of candle-making in the Scent Sessions. Join us in our light-filled, airy space overlooking Surry Hills’ vibrant Crown Street for a candle-making class like no other, created and hosted by our founder Vianney Hunter.
$239
Curated for groups of 8, each Scent Session is a private 2-hour workshop where Vianney will guide you through the art of candle-making. With exclusive access to signature Hunter Candles oils at your fingertips, you’ll learn the essentials of scent curation and blend your very own bespoke creations to take home.
With hand-selected wine, or sparkling by P&V served alongside gourmet bites by chef James Elliott to enjoy, Scent Sessions are more than just a candle-making class - they’re an immersive, indulgent experience where laughter is shared and memories are made. At the end of each session, you’ll take the good times home with two large soy wax candles, and a Hunter Candles guidebook to continue honing your nose.
Yes, this is available for bookings of 8 people. Please email info@huntercandles.com.au to organise an ideal time.
