Alchemy: Guided Scent Storytelling + Candle Making Workshop

Alchemy: Guided Scent Storytelling + Candle Making Workshop is a structured, two-hour group class where participants learn to blend custom fragrances and pour their own signature candle. Hosted at the Bright Black studio in Durham, the session focuses on using scent as a tool for personal reflection and intention setting as the seasons change. This is a structured group class rather than a drop-in activity, so plan to arrive on time for the 6:00 PM start. The workshop is best suited for adults and older teenagers who can focus during a two-hour instructional session. Your ticket includes all candle-making materials, a signature black matte vessel, a fragrance profile card, and light refreshments. Street parking is available nearby, but give yourself extra time to find a spot in downtown Durham on a Friday evening. This workshop makes an excellent weekend pick if you want to trade a typical dinner-and-a-movie night for a hands-on creative project. You will leave with a high-quality, custom-scented candle and a deeper understanding of how professional perfumers blend top, middle, and base notes.
