Candle Painting

Discover our adult candle painting evening course at Cirencester College – a relaxing, creative workshop where you’ll learn decorative painting techniques with wax and acrylics to create personalised handmade candles.

Slow down and get creative in this relaxed and welcoming 2-hour candle painting workshop. Learners will decorate a selection of candles using wax-based tealight painting techniques or acrylic paint for ornamental designs, exploring colour, pattern and seasonal or personal inspiration.

Throughout the session, participants will experiment with painting techniques, layering, simple illustrations, botanical motifs, abstract designs and decorative detailing to create beautiful hand-painted candles. The atmosphere is calm, mindful and supportive, encouraging creativity without pressure or perfectionism.

Learners can choose between painting with melted wax tealights, which can safely be burned afterwards, or acrylic paints for decorative ornamental candles only. No previous experience is needed, and all materials are provided.
