The Wick Lab
Discover the art of candle making at The Wick Lab in Ogden, where creative expression meets eco-friendly craftsmanship. Perfect for a relaxing break after outdoor adventures or as a unique activity on its own.
The Wick Lab is a hands-on candle studio based in Ogden, Utah, offering guided candle-pouring classes, private parties, group experiences, and youth-focused workshops. The studio provides structured sessions led by experienced Chandlers who teach safe pouring techniques, fragrance blending, and finishing touches to help guests leave with polished, custom candles.
Sessions vary by location and format: Sugar House and Draper include both private party options and semi-private group experiences, Provo offers group and private bookings, and Ogden hosts group and private events. A dedicated Tiny Chandlers program engages children ages 4–8 in a 60-minute Earth Camp that combines seed-bomb crafting, butterfly feeder making, and a small candle activity.
The Wick Lab emphasizes accessible, event-ready experiences—90-minute group sessions permit relaxed pacing for guests crafting custom candles, while private parties provide exclusive space, optional food and decorations, and special discounts. For fragrance options and pouring materials, select sessions (such as Draper candle pouring) highlight a library of fragrances and the option to pour with 100% soy wax.
Families, friend groups, and event planners choose The Wick Lab for hands-on creativity in a welcoming studio environment. Safety-conscious instruction, clear session lengths, and location-specific offerings make it straightforward to pick the right experience. The Wick Lab focuses on memorable, tactile workshops that produce take-home keepsakes and group memories.
