Little Makers Candle Workshop at Southdale Center — Family DIY Candles at T.S. Home Studio | Workshop | Events

Inside Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, the Little Makers Candle Making Experience at T.S. Home Studio turns a routine mall visit into a purposeful creative hour. Situated at Southdale Center; T.S. Home Studio; 10 Southdale Ctr Suite #1160, the workshop invites a child and a participating adult to blend scents, learn safe pouring techniques, and craft two finished soy candles to take home. This one-hour session centers on a custom 14oz adult candle with a crackling wood wick and a 10oz Little Maker candle with a cotton wick. Participants select from more than fifty fragrance oils, including a limited summer collection, while a Scent Consultant offers step-by-step instruction and safety oversight. At $74 per pair the fee covers materials for one adult and one child, and students leave with two handcrafted candles and fresh skills for future projects. Candles need roughly two hours to cool; the studio will hold finished pieces for up to thirty days or ship them for a fee, which makes timing flexible for families balancing errands or shows at nearby entertainment venues. T.S. Home Studio’s presence at Southdale links contemporary craft to a mall with local significance—Southdale Center opened in 1956 as the United States’ first fully enclosed, climate-controlled shopping mall—so the workshop feels both intimate and part of a larger public place. After class you can explore Puttshack, Dave & Buster’s, or catch a film at AMC Theatre while candles set. The experience is deliberately low-pressure: no prior craft skills are required, and instructors emphasize safety for young makers. Recommended for kids ages six and up, the workshop asks adults to participate throughout the session; classes are punctual, and space often fills during limited summer dates, so book early. For visitors staying in Edina or nearby Minneapolis, the compact format is easy to layer into a full day: pop off to lunch, return to pick up finished pieces, or extend the visit by browsing the studio’s retail collection and using the same-day 20% shopping discount. The session is well-suited to celebrations, artful gifts, and teaching a child a simple, repeatable craft. If you go, arrive ten minutes early to settle in, dress for easy cleanup, and bring a tote for your finished candles. For creative families who want a short, tactile pause from screens, Little Makers at T.S. Home Studio is a quiet, practical choice in the heart of Southdale Center. The scent blending table rewards patient noses: citrus top notes brighten summer blends while vanilla and sandalwood create warm, enduring bases. Staff can recommend combinations for longer burn or layered scent experiences. Booking online through the provided link secures your spot; workshops run regularly and make for a hands-on souvenir of a Minnesota outing.
