Candle & Fragrance Bar open now
Sunset Tide Candle & Scent Bar
Makers Art Studio now offers Sunset Tide Candle & Scent Bar, a premium candle-making and fragrance-blending experience built around coastal-inspired scents, elevated materials, and a more refined way to create.

About this experience
This isn't a typical candle workshop.
At the Candle & Scent Bar, every step is part of the experience, from selecting your vessel and wax to exploring fragrance notes and blending a scent that is uniquely yours.
Guided by our team, you will create a candle that reflects your style, mood, and memory, something you will actually want to use, gift, or keep.
It is creative, social, and surprisingly relaxing, all in a polished studio setting.
Why guests love it
Date nights, girls nights out, birthdays, family visits, team building, walk-ins, and elevated private events.
Our team sets up the materials, demonstrates the process, and helps you feel confident at every step.
The format is beginner-friendly, relaxed, and designed for people who want to enjoy the process.
For safety, we do not offer hot wax candle making to kids under 12. Younger guests can participate in sand wax and other non-hot-wax experiences that still feel creative, hands-on, and fun.
You create a custom candle with your chosen vessel, wax, and scent blend. Our team will explain any setting, transport, or first-burn guidance before you leave.
Premium materials
Sunset Tide Candle & Scent Bar is built around quality materials and custom fragrance blending. Instead of a generic pour-and-go workshop, guests explore vessels, waxes, scent notes, and blends so the finished candle feels personal, polished, and usable.
Guests can work with elevated waxes such as soy, coconut, soy-coconut blends, coco-apricot, and beeswax, depending on studio availability.
Explore fragrance notes from fresh and coastal to warm and rich, then blend a signature scent that feels personal to you.
The finished candle is more than a souvenir. It is something you can display, gift, use, and connect back to the experience.
