Candle Making Workshop for Corporate Team Building

A corporate candle making workshop in Singapore suits teams that want to bond without the sweat. People talk while their hands are busy, nobody needs to be sporty or artistic, and everyone leaves with a candle they made. Want more sharing? For candle making team building we can end with a short round where people present their candle and the story behind it.

  • Inclusive for mixed-age teamsNo fitness and no artistic skill needed, so the whole department can take part.
  • Conversation comes naturallyIt’s relaxed and hands-on, so colleagues chat while they create.
  • A calmer kind of team buildingFor departments that want something more relaxed than competitive games.
  • Something to take homeEveryone leaves with a scented candle they made, for their desk or their home.
  • We come to your officeThe mobile setup runs in meeting rooms, seminar rooms and function rooms.
  • Scales to large groupsFrom 5 to more than 100 people, with more facilitators and tables as you grow.

02

Design Your Jar

Layer the coloured sand and set the wick. Making a gel candle? Place your figurine.

03

Scent, Colour & Pour

Choose one of 2 fragrances and your colour. Our facilitators help with heating and pouring the wax.

04

Set, Finish & Photos

Your candle sets while you take photos, then it goes home with you.

Working with warm wax: our facilitators handle the heating and help with every pour, so the workshop is comfortable for first-timers, and for children who join with an adult.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Pour

Quick answers about pricing, gel and soy candles, group sizes, venues and booking a Candle Making Workshop with FunEmpire.

What is included in a Candle Making Workshop?

Everything you need. A glass jar, gel or soy wax for a candle of about 250g, a wick, your choice of 2 fragrances, coloured dye, coloured sand and the tools, plus a facilitator who guides every step, basic event photos, setup and cleanup. Gel candles also come with one figurine per jar. You also get your own event portal for the guest list, RSVPs, attendance check-in and photos. There are no extra material charges beyond your quote.

See what’s included
What is the difference between a gel candle and a soy candle?

A gel candle is see-through. A soy candle is creamy and opaque. In the Gel Candle Making Workshop you layer coloured sand, set a figurine and pour clear gel wax over it, so the scene shows through the jar. In the Soy Candle Making Workshop you pour natural soy wax over a base of coloured sand for a classic scented candle. Choose gel for something colourful and playful, and soy for a classic candle that makes a good gift.

Compare the two
How long is a Candle Making Workshop?

About 1.5 hours, including the introduction, designing your jar, pouring, setting time and photos. For corporate or school events we can extend the session or pair it with another creative workshop for a fuller programme.

See how it works
How many people can join?

The Workshop

What you make, who it suits and how to look after it.

Do participants take their candles home?

Yes, everyone takes home the candle they made, about 250g in a glass jar. Setting time is built into the session, so your candle is ready to carry when you leave. Your facilitator will tell you how long to let it rest before you light it.

Do we need any candle-making experience?

No. Candle making is beginner-friendly. Our facilitators guide you through each step, from layering the sand and choosing your fragrance to pouring and setting.

Can we choose our own scent and colour?

Yes. You choose from 2 fragrances and pick your own coloured dye. You also decide how to layer the coloured sand, so every candle comes out different.

How big is the candle?

About 250g, in a glass jar. Everyone makes one candle and takes it home.

Is candle making safe, and is it suitable for children?

Yes. Our facilitators handle the heating and help with every pour. Children can join with adult supervision, and we simplify the steps for younger participants. It is a popular choice for birthday parties and school programmes. The Virtual Soy Candle Making Workshop is for ages 13 and above.

How do I look after my candle after the workshop?

Let it rest before you light it. Your facilitator will tell you how long to wait before the first burn. After that, keep the wick trimmed short, burn the candle on a heat-safe surface and never leave it lit unattended.

Events & Venues

Corporate events, your own venue and booking.

Is a Candle Making Workshop suitable for corporate team building?

Yes. It is calm and inclusive, with no fitness or artistic skill needed, so mixed-age teams can all take part. It suits teams that want connection more than competition, and it is popular for wellness days and year-end appreciation events.

Candle making for corporate teams
Can FunEmpire conduct the workshop at our office?

Yes. We bring Candle Making Workshops to offices, schools, hotel function rooms and event venues across Singapore. We handle transport, setup and cleanup, so you only need to provide the space and tables. Transport fees apply, and we check that your venue is suitable first.

See venue options
Can you conduct Candle Making Workshops for large groups?

Yes, for more than 100 people. We plan the materials, tables and number of facilitators around your headcount, at our Tai Seng studio or at your own venue.

Can we customise the workshop for our company or event?

Yes. We can add a sharing and storytelling segment where people present their candles, extend the session, pair it with another activity, and arrange add-ons such as catering, corporate gifts and bus transport.

Is a Candle Making Workshop suitable for wellness or employee engagement events?

Yes. It is slow-paced, hands-on and screen-free, which makes it a good fit for wellness days, staff appreciation and employee engagement events. Everyone leaves with a scented candle they made.
