Kick Off The New Year With A Creative Candle-Making Session In NYC
The start of the new year is a time full of excitement and possibility! During this season, many choose to pause and reflect on everything from the past year and set their intentions for the future. Maybe you’re hoping to slow down a bit more this year, practice more self-care, reconnect with the people you love, or pick up a new creative hobby. At Wick & Pour, we believe one of the best ways to start the year off right is to do something hands-on and creative. Our beginner-friendly candle-making classes in NYC offer the perfect space to kick off the new year with intention, creativity, and joy!
Make Being More Creative Your New Year’s Resolution
Never underestimate the power of creativity! It plays a role in both mental and physical health, yet unfortunately tends to be one of the first things to be deprioritized when life gets busy. Between a packed work schedule, household responsibilities, and socializing, many people feel like the year just speeds by with almost no time to relax and slow down. So what’s the solution? Making creativity a daily priority is a great way to bring more presence and mindfulness into your life. Learning how to make your own candle is especially rewarding because it’s a multi-sensory art! Not only are you creating something visually stunning, but you’re also using your sense of smell, which is a powerful trigger for emotion, memory, and mood. Candle making is wonderful creative activity for beginners, even if you’re someone who’s never felt super “artsy”. Step into our beautiful NYC candle-making studios and create a custom candle that suits your exact preferences. Here, you’ll enjoy blending wax colors and fragrances, mixing and pouring your candle, and decorating to your heart’s content.
Connect More With Friends and Family This Year
In the new year, many people set the intention to spend more quality time with friends and family. However, it’s sometimes easier said than done. Busy schedules and to-do lists pile up, making it hard to find activities everyone can enjoy together. Candle making classes in NYC are a great option for those looking for a relaxed environment to spend time together in and are especially great for girls’ night, families with kids, or anyone celebrating a special occasion. We offer group workshops as well as private candle making events for birthday parties, office get-togethers, and reunions. Spend time creating something beautiful together, indulging your senses, and enjoying each other’s much-needed company in the new year.
Spend Less Time on Screens in the New Year
It’s no secret that a lot of us are spending a little too much time on screens. Our devices seem to take over our days, whether for work or socializing, which can often leave us feeling even more disconnected from the world and the people around us. A great way to start off the New Year is by intentionally scheduling in ways to get away from the screen and engage in real, hands-on experiences. A candle-making class in New York City is exactly that! From the moment you come into our NoLita or West Village studio, you’ll find yourself totally immersed in a world of texture, color, and scent, allowing you to fully step into the present moment.
Make Time for Self-Care
When you think of self-care, you might 
picture a spa day or a night spent at home on the couch with your favorite movie. However, sometimes self-care can be doing something totally new and creative that allows you to take a break from your usual routine. A candle-making class is a great way to practice self-care because it combines creativity and learning. Our friendly candle-making teachers in NYC will teach you every step of the crafting process, so you can take home a new skill to use time and time again. Over time, you may even find yourself experimenting with new ways of making candles, creating gifts for friends, or just enjoying the art as part of your regular self-care practice. Treating yourself to special experiences and learning new things is a great way to show yourself a little bit of extra love in the new year.
