On a quiet block in downtown Sherbrooke, Québec, at 143 Rue Frontenac, a two-hour hands-on session turns simple ingredients into something personal: a scented soy candle you poured yourself, followed by guided coloring to unwind and make a keepsake. The workshop, titled SHERBROOKE - Gold Heart Club x Moonday, invites makers aged five and up to explore scent pairing, color, and composition in a compact, friendly studio environment. Inside the studio you'll find a scent bar of essential and fragrance oils, a pouring bench with temperature-controlled pots, rows of jars and tins, cotton wicks and measuring tools, plus a relaxed coloring area stocked with pencils and guided templates. Key features include the scent selection process, the pour-and-set technique, and the guided coloring cooldown—the three act structure that shapes the afternoon. Natural materials such as soy wax and cotton wicks give candles a clean burn; locally inspired fragrances often nod to Québec seasons and woods. The experience is ideal for solo makers, parents with kids, and small groups who want a creative, low-impact activity downtown. It’s unique here because urban Sherbrooke has few compact craft studios that combine aromatherapy education with tactile play for mixed ages. The session’s design balances instruction and free choice: an instructor leads safety, scent mixing, and pour timing, then steps back so each participant can personalize scent strength and color. The result is a functional keepsake and a moment of slow-making in a city known for its rivers and parks. Practical notes: the workshop runs about two hours; participants work standing for parts of it and should wear closed-toe shoes. Expect 30–45 minutes of active pouring and scent blending, then a gentle 30–45 minute coloring and finishing phase while candles cure. Materials and a takeaway jar are included in the booking. The location address is given for easy navigation to nearby cafes and transit. As a creative stop between outdoor outings, the studio offers a dry, warm place to decompress after a walk on Mont-Bellevue or a paddle on the Rivière Saint-François. Visitors often book workshops as a weatherproof plan B, or pair a morning hike with an afternoon craft session. The hands-on pace complements outdoor exploration: it’s tactile, low-sweat, and leaves you with a portable reminder of a Sherbrooke day spent both outside and in, and warmly local. This session makes a thoughtful gift or solo reset—a compact creative day that leaves you with more than an object: a memory inked with scent and hand-drawn marks. If you’re visiting Sherbrooke and want to bring home something made by you rather than bought, this workshop is an efficient, accessible way to connect with craft and local creative life.
