The Joy of Teaching Candle Making: How Sharing This Craft Became One of the Most Fulfilling Parts of My Business

If someone had told me years ago that candle making would evolve from a personal creative escape into a business — and eventually into something I teach — I don’t think I would’ve believed them. Yet here we are.

Over time, something beautiful happened: the joy I felt while making candles multiplied when I started teaching others. Helping a beginner pour their first candle, choose a scent they fall in love with, and proudly walk out with something they made with their own hands? That feeling never gets old.

Teaching candle making has become one of the most unexpectedly rewarding parts of my journey.

Why Teaching Candle Making Is So Fulfilling

✨ It reconnects you with the heart of the craft

Watching someone create their very first candle brings you right back to the moment you fell in love with candle making. Their excitement becomes your excitement. Their questions remind you of your own early curiosity.

✨ It builds community effortlessly

Every workshop I’ve hosted — private, corporate, birthday parties, girls’ nights, or creative pop-ups — has brought together people who simply wanted to try something new. Before long, they’re laughing, comparing scents, showing off their labels, and sharing stories.

Teaching creates connection in ways selling a product never can.

✨ It elevates your expertise

Teaching forces you to slow down, simplify your steps, and gain an even deeper understanding of your craft. It strengthens your confidence, your voice, and your unique style as a maker.

✨ It’s a joyful, profitable addition to your business

Workshops offer something special: an experience. And people love memorable experiences. Teaching has allowed me to expand my brand in a way that feels fun, personal, and meaningful — not just transactional.

My Journey From Candle Maker to Candle-Making Instructor

I’ve spent years crafting, refining, experimenting, and building Scents by Fay into the brand it is today. And through that process, I’ve hosted countless workshops — from small at-home sessions to large offsite events and everything in between.

Each one taught me something new about flow, setup, guest engagement, timing, and creating an experience people genuinely rave about.

Over time, so many makers asked me:

How do you run your classes so smoothly?
What do you bring?
How do you keep beginners engaged?
How do you make the experience feel polished and professional?
How do you actually get people to sign up?

That’s when I knew creators needed more than scattered tips — they needed a roadmap.

After years of hosting successful workshops, I put everything I’ve learned into a master guide designed specifically for makers who want to teach candle making confidently and professionally.
