Girls Night Candle Making at Southdale Center — DIY Candle Workshop in Edina

At T.S. Home Studio inside Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, the Girls Night Candle Making Experience turns an ordinary evening into a hands-on workshop where scent, storytelling, and craft meet. For about an hour, groups gather in Suite 1160 to blend fragrances from a curated bar of more than fifty premium oils, pour 14-ounce soy wax into glass vessels, and set a crackling wood wick that makes each candle feel alive. The room is bright and organized, laid out for quick instruction and easy socializing; tools, labels, and pouring stations are provided so the evening stays playful rather than technical. This class is built for connection: it’s suitable for birthdays, small celebrations, or simply a relaxed night out with friends. You’ll get step‑by‑step guidance from the studio team, access to seasonal scents including a limited summer collection, and a finished, hand‑poured candle to take home. Pricing is straightforward: $49 per participant covers one 14oz soy candle with wood wick and all materials. Candles need roughly two hours to cure; the studio will hold finished pieces up to 30 days or ship them for a fee, which makes it easy to combine the workshop with dining or entertainment at Southdale Center. What makes this experience a standout in Edina is its local context. Southdale Center — one of the country’s early enclosed shopping centers — sits at the crossroads of retail, dining, and recreation, and T.S. Home Studio adds a creative, tactile counterpoint to the mall’s energy. Instead of another screen‑based outing, you leave with an original scent memory crafted by hand. The studio’s focus on soy wax and wooden wicks produces cleaner burns and a warm, wooden crackle that elevates the sensory experience. Practical notes: classes begin promptly and guests are asked to arrive ten minutes early. No prior craft skills are required; participants of most ages can take part. If you need time to let wax set, explore nearby options like dinner, a movie, or casual shopping until your candle is ready. For groups, reserve early — seats fill fast, especially for weekend evenings and limited seasonal sessions. Bring a sense of curiosity and consider wearing comfortable clothes you don’t mind splashing. Whether you’re celebrating or checking a new hobby off your list, the Girls Night Candle Making Experience offers an intimate, creative evening that feels personal, shareable, and distinctly Minnesotan. Participants also enjoy 20% off same‑day shopping at T.S. Home Studio, making it easy to pick up a vessel, wax care supplies, or matching home goods before you go, and the studio will ship finished candles for $8 each if you can't return for pickup. Small groups tend to work best; contact the studio to reserve multiple seats. Today.
