Approximately 45 Minutes • Ages 10+
T.S. Home Studio is an Edina, Minnesota-based candle studio that offers guided candle-making experiences at local venues and private events. The business leads public classes at Southdale Center, Schram Vineyards, Grapeful Wine Bar, and Next Chapter Winery, pairing hands-on candle crafting with social settings like shopping centers and wineries. Each experience includes guidance from a scent consultant or expert who helps participants blend fragrances and create custom candles. Many sessions allow guests to choose from a curated selection of vessels and blend from over 50 scent options to personalize each candle.
Public workshops vary by venue: the Southdale Center classes emphasize a creative outing with shopping and dining nearby; Schram Vineyards and Next Chapter Winery sessions combine candle making with the cozy winery atmosphere; Grapeful Wine Bar events often feature the option to sip wine while pouring a 14oz soy candle. Private Candle Making Experiences provide an extended, three-hour format for groups to craft multiple personalized candles with focused instruction and social time.
T.S. Home Studio designs each class for all skill levels, offering step-by-step instruction, scent selection guidance, and hands-on pouring. Reservations are available for specific dates and private bookings. The studio’s approach centers on creativity, customization, and a guided, social crafting experience held across several recognizable Twin Cities locations. Private bookings accommodate groups and small gatherings at scheduled times and venues. Classes are suitable for beginners and experienced crafters who want guided scent blending and hands-on candle pouring in a social setting. Booking details are available online. Today.
