ALL ABOUT SOY

Why Soy?

Soy wax is a natural product produced from the soy bean. In comparison, paraffin is made from petroleum oil. Soy wax candles provide a cleaner burn and does not produce potentially harmful by-products. It is also a completely renewable resource.

My soy candle has a white discoloration, why?

This is called "frosting" and naturally occurs with soy candles. This frosting does not affect the candle's burn or scent.

How long can I burn my soy candle?

Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Burning longer can cause carbon build-up on the wick, which can lead to a larger flame, an over-heated vessel, which is a fire hazard.

How do I care for my soy candle?

Be sure to trim your wick prior to each use. You should try the wick down to 1/4" before each use. This helps your candle burn more evenly. Read the warning label on your candle.

How is soy wax made?

Soy wax is made from the oil of soybeans through the process of hydrogenation. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, and de-husked. Afterwards, the beans are rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated.

The hydrogenation process alters the melting point of the wax and allows it be solid at room temperature. The leftover bean husks are commonly used as animal feed.

Candle Pourings

How many people can I book a candle pouring for?

The current maximum is 8 people.

Can I bring in my own vessel/jar?

No. We test our jars using our available scents. Outside vessels have not been tested by us, and are not allowed. Testing is important in determining wick size, and how a candle burns.

How much does the Candle Making Experience cost?

Our standard vessels are $32 per candle. There is also always a selection of upgraded vessels to pick from in the Studio; this includes handmade concrete vessels. Pricing for upgraded vessels varies from $34-$54.

What are the age requirements?

Candle pouring is recommended for anyone 8+.

Can I bring in wine or food?

The Studio is BYOB. However, food is not allowed.

Can I hold a date and time without a deposit?

A deposit is required to hold any date/time.

Can I have a private candle pouring?

There are 8 spots for each candle pouring session. If you would like a private candle pouring, you would need to book and pay for all 8 spots. The retail section of the Studio is always open.
