Could a candle business work for you?

Over the past year at my candle making workshops, I’ve had so many lovely conversations with people saying things like:

“I’d love to do something creative from home one day.”

“I’ve always fancied starting a little business.”

“I’m approaching retirement but would still love a hobby and a small income.”

“I need something flexible around family life.”

“I am not enjoying my job. I need to find something else that I can do while working that can become my exit strategy”

Every so often I host a free Candle Business Open Studio ( near Edinburgh)— a relaxed, behind-the-scenes session for anyone curious about what it’s really like to run a candle business.

This isn’t a candle-making class, but more an honest look at:

✨ how I got started
✨ realistic startup costs
✨ common mistakes beginners make
✨ selling online and at markets

There’ll also be time to have a look around the workshop, ask questions, and get a feel for how everything works behind the scenes.
This isn’t a candle-making class — it’s more of a friendly taster session for anyone curious about whether starting a candle business could be something they’d enjoy.
