My friends and I had a ball! The class is informative and helps to fuel your creativity.
I four or more attend the class!

OMG. Had a blast. Class was detailed and informative. The scent choices were exceptional. Loved the variety of candles created.

Fernando was a great teacher! The class was fun, and I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking to try something new! I’ll definitely be back!

I had a truly fantastic time today!! My instructor was very kind, funny and knowledgeable. He was patient with us and went above and beyond. Please take dollars to tip at the end (i didn't have cash and wish i did).

Was lots of fun and plenty of choices.

Fun experience. Great for a date night.

Awesome experience and host was great in teaching us on bottle shaping and candle filling!

I did candle making class with my best friend for a girls night out and it was perfect! Fernando was so patient and funny. We really enjoyed his class. I definitely recommend it!

This was such a great experience! We will definitely go back!

I loved this class. Our instructor walked us through how to first cut the glass bottle which was way easier than we all imagined. It seemed intimidating at first but we all got it correct on the first try. Next we poured the candles and chose our scent and color. The most fun part for me was cutting the bottle and choosing the scent. I would suggest you bring your own bottle as it's more fun and a great way to commemorate a special bottle of wine. I liked the laid back atmosphere and the latin music! def byob drinks and snack to eat while you wait in between steps

We had a great time making candles

Amazing evening and experience! We did a girls night and loved the pace and duration of class! Bring your wine and snacks, and make late dinner reservations after in Pilsen!

We had so much fun! Instructor/owner has a great sense of humor and was very thorough in explaining the process. We love our finished products!

Loved this class! Teacher was very entertaining, welcoming, and overall great. Brought our own wine bottles for the candles, and they turned out perfect!

This class was so much fun! It was hands-on the whole way through - from choosing the bottle we wanted to use, scoring/heating/cutting the glass, choosing the scents we wanted and assembling our candles. Fernando was patient with and supportive of everyone's skill level and encouraged us to make our own creative decisions (within reason!) about the bottles, scents, and even colors. The class made for a great date night activity.

This experience was amazing! I hope some of my family visits me soon in the Chicago area as I have added this to my list of activities! Fun, informative and it’s definitely worth it! Highly recommend for any locals and travelers! Great Chicago souvenir!

I really enjoyed this class. Very informative and thorough. Our candles turned out very nice and smelled amazing! I would definitely recommend this class. Our teacher was amazing!

I loved our host. He was funny and patient! Walked us through the whole process. And showed us a rooftop view and took pics of the class!

Our instructor was awesome & patient. He worked with men & women with patients. He was knowledgeable & kind. He was funny & fun. He was creative. He assured we knew what we were doing. Love the experience. I went alone & it was GREAT!!!

Really great experience- teacher was informative and kind. Would go back!

We had so much fun, learned a lot, it was a fun new experience and I highly recommend this class!

Great time!

This was a great class! Very hands on and educational. The instructors were fun, the space was cute - overall great vibe and SUPER cool candle at the end. I recommend bringing your own bottle.

Amazing class! Fernando was informative, attentive, and funny. We learned how to cut glass and mix soy wax with fragrance and color to create our own custom candles. The atmosphere of the studio was fun and spacious. Would highly recommend!

This was very fun. This is perfect for a date night or group of friends. The hosts were empowering and educated us on candle making. This is hands on. It's BYOB so that was a plus! Also, free parking.

My boyfriend and I went for a date. Super fun. I love the small size class. The instructor (Fernando) was great and took his time to show us everything. Our candles came out fantastic. Definitely will book again. It’s great for date night or a girls night out

We had a great time at the class and Fernando was an excellent teacher. He made every step of the process easy. We’re already planning to go back to make more candles!

This was such a fun class! It’s perfect for friends, couples, and even families. Fernando and his wife are so sweet and really take time to make sure you have a fun experience.

A couple years ago I stumbled across the Chicago candle company candles at a market. I loved the rosemary and gin scent so much I gave it as a gift to a friend who has requested it for every occasion since. During the holiday season I noticed that they had candle making classes while I was ordering my usual gift for my friend. Fast forward a few weeks and my boyfriend and I went to the class! I would highly recommend this class! We had a lot of fun creating the glass jar for the candle. After that choosing the scents for your candle and being able to pour your own candle was a unique experience! Even the building this class is in is super cool and very Chicago old style brick building.

Such a great and fun class - especially on a snowy night! I had a special bottle of Dom that we received as a gift and I did not want to throw away the bottle so what better way then to make a candle. We were able to cut the bottle, place the wick, choose our scents and pour the melted wax. Our instructor, Fernando, was fabulous, he explained each step and was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Such a fun night especially with great friends.

I had a wonderful time with Sara and Fernando learning to make cut glass candles. Fernando did a great job teaching us how to do this in ways we could easily replicate at home. They also gave us many options of their amazing scents and colors to choose from. I did this class solo, but it would be a great date or girls night out activity. Highly recommend.

Such a great experience! The instructor was calm, clear, and helped us make some really quality candles - very impressive

Was a neat class! My husband and I were just in Chicago for the weekend and saw this class online.
Great for date night or a night out with friends. The instructors were great! We love our candles!

omg fernando was absolutely marvelous! he explained every detail & was quite knowledgeable. worth every penny

Loved this experience! Learned so much about glass cutting and candle making. Fernando the instructor is really knowledgeable and friendly. It was a lot easier than we expected because of the clear instructions. It was more of a chill relaxed vibe, not stuffy or formal. We did go over the time the class lists but we didn’t mind at all because we were having a great time. Small group felt covid safe

Candle making class that was super fun! The instructor was very detailed and basically taught you things so you could potentially use the skills and make candles on your own time. Going on the roof and seeing the Chicago skyline was an extra plus!

We selected the bottle cutting and candle making class with Fernando and Sara and had the best time. Fernando was incredibly gracious and informative with the process so much, we ordered a bottle cutter and dremel to try it at home. We highly recommend you take the class!

We had so much fun making candles and learning the process. Our teacher was great!

Went to their DIY candle making class with two of my girlfriends and had a great time!! The studio is super cute and the owner Fernando is a great instructor! He gives detailed, visual instructions which allowed us to be hands on with our own candle making. 10/10 would recommend their candles and their class!

This class was amazing!! The instructor was very friendly and helpful and provided us with clear and useful instructions for making the candles! They smell great and are items we thoroughly enjoy and will keep forever! The instructors also provides us with helpful tips on how to make the candles on our own!

This was a really fun class! The instructor was very knowledgeable and made it fun. If you mess up, they don't mind letting you try again until you get it right. He also took us up to the rooftop at the end to get an awesome view of the city!

This is an awesome class! It is very interactive and the hosts are great. We love the candle we made!

We loved this class! Fernando & Sara were great hosts. I will definitely be taking another!

We had a wonderful time and learned how to cut glass on our own as well as refill the candles once they are burned! A lot of fun and a great experience!

This class was excellent! It was the perfect occasion for a mother-daughter activity with my mom who was visiting from out of town. We both had so much fun and were able to make candles out of meaningful wine bottles. Not only do they smell great, but they will serve as memorable tokens. Fernando was an excellent host and teacher and did a great job explaining the process to us and helping us out along the way. The class was a lot more in depth than I thought it would be and I appreciated the attention to detail of his explanations of the entire process, start to finish. The location was very cool and Fernando took the time to show off the wonderful views of downtown Chicago as we allowed our candles to cool. I have already recommended this class to several friends and would even be interested in coming back to do it again!

It was so much fun making your own candle and candle holder from a wine glass.

I wanted to surprise my wife by taking her to this class but they didn't have any classes scheduled for when we were going to be in town. I sent an email requesting a class to be available, assuming I wouldn't hear back, and that same day they replied and we're very accommodating. They opened a class up on a day that worked best for us. It was amazing. The teacher, Fernando was very informative and fun. We had a great time and learned a lot. I loved how hands on it was and I'm excited to start making my own candles when we get home.

What a great class. Went with friends and made new friends. Fernando was informative and patient. What a great way to upcycle. This is a class everyone can enjoy!

There ended up by being four of us and we had a great time. The teachers answered all of my questions because I wanted to know how to make these at home. They enjoyed what they were doing and we had a big class. Highly recommend!!

I bought this experience as a gift for my mom, and we both loved it! Learning how to cut the bottles and create the candles using different colors and scents was such a cool experience. I loved how the teachers gave plenty of advice on how to continue making your own wine bottle candles at home. The room was a bit tricky to find in the building, but some nice people pointed us in the right direction. Overall, I would highly recommend this class!

This is a fun class that is primarily centered around cutting the glass bottle needed to house the candle. The instructors are very thorough in explaining everything and make sure to help with every step. The scents to choose from are great too. Overall, highly recommend this class for both small and large groups.

This was a fantastic class! Great value for the price and I love my candle! I thought it was unique because we learned how to turn a wine bottle into a candle and it was way more hands on then I thought it would be! The scents here are fantastic as well! The owners were so friendly and provided great instructions. They will give you a wine bottle if you don’t have one but try to fine one that you really like the shape, label or has some sort of meaning to you. I forgot to bring my own but wish I did. The wine bottles they provided were completely fine though! It’s also byob so you can drink during the class! I would recommend this class to anyone.

This experience was AWESOME! They show you how to break the glass, sand the bottle, heat the wax, add your scent, pour and more! We each left with a quite a large candle and the scents are truly my favorite.

Great experience! Highly recommend.

This was a great class, very fun and informative. The glass cutting was a lot of fun and the candle I ended up making was awesome!

I had been here once before for a work event and had such a good time that I wanted to do it again for myself. I loved the experience even more the second time around. I'll do this class at least once a year. The scents are amazing, the technique is really cool, and the Teachers/Hosts are even better.

I went to DIY cocktail candles & wine bottle cutting for my birthday. I had been saving a bottle just for this and was not disappointed! I'm so happy with the scent I chose and love this special candle. I highly recommend this Dabble class!

What a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! He is so welcoming and amenable! A Teacher and a Host!!!! Really cool class with lots to learn and he shares it all!!! GREAT for a party which in fact, there was a gal celebrating her birthday and that just added to the fun! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Favorite Dabble class! Learned how to cut a wine bottle and actually steps to do it at home! Different scents and color options were available to us, as we were not limited inside the box. Fernando and Sara were great instructors but also owners to a business that uses all-natural products. Their scents make them different and learning the process of cutting bottles make me appreciate their candles even more. It's a small class where everyone gets to experience every process. Also, enjoyed the great rooftop view. It's such a fun and relaxing class. I would recommend this to anyone!

The class was really amazing. My friend and I went on a Saturday evening and Fernando was our instructor. The environment was relaxed and light-hearted and I have a new-found appreciation for all the work that goes into candle making! Learning how to cut wine bottles was particularly fascinating. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in the craftier side of life. Five stars.

Great time & learned so much. Awesome teacher with a great passion for his business & sharing his knowledge. Loved to old building too. Highly recommend!

Excellent workshop! We learned about the cutting process and tried various bottles we brought from home. The most difficult part was choosing one of their divine candle scents. We left with some beautiful candles made from our own sentimental wine bottles, and lots of knowledge and confidence!

I attended this class with my husband and 18-year-old daughter. We all three had a great time. The building that it is located in is both historic and interesting! We were all able to be successful. The candle scents were amazing and I like that I can reorder my candle wax online and repour it into my candle once I use mine up. Super fun and just hard enough to be interesting but not hard enough to be frustrated!

We had a great time at the Chicago Candle Company. The class is really flexible - we get to choose among a lot of wine bottle options, redo the cutting if one failed, and pick any candle size we want. The instructor is very patient and we learned a lot of DIY ideas that we feel excited to apply to our daily life as well. We love the candles we made, and love the nice Chicago skyline view from the roof top that instructor brought us to view. The class is overall well prepared and planned, definitely worth going!

Fun and informative! Fernando did a great job of taking us through each step and letting us know how we can recreate the candles at home. He also let us know how he runs his business which was very informative. The bonus was the rooftop view of the skyline! Worth the price of admission. Even my husband, who was being very accommodating to me for my birthday and wasn't sure he would like this class, really enjoyed the experience.

First of all, the environment is cool: industrial art space. Fernando is super thorough & patient! They have lots of bottles to choose from as well as colors & scents! What a fun way to spend a night! And i’m SO happy with my end product!

Fernando was a fantastic teacher! There were only 4 of us in the class tonight and we all left with beautiful, great smelling candles. The class ran an hour longer than scheduled, but only because Fernando made sure we all left with a product we were proud of.

My cousin and I signed up for the class with our daughters for a mother-daughter activity. We were so excited about spending time together doing something fun, and it was even more fun than we anticipated! Our group was rather large, but the instructor managed the group quite well, and walked us through the bottle candle and candle making process. The instructor offered different candle scents and colors, so each of us were able to personalize our candles. The class went slightly longer than expected, so plan on spending extra time there. Afterwards we asked for a restaurant recommendation nearby and were directed to a small Mexican restaurant that had outstanding salsa! Overall, it was a wonderful experience. When we got home and shared our candles with our family, other family members were sad they didn't go with!

This class was great! I loved how intimate it was, and appreciated that I got to learn every single step in the candle making process. I feel like I can make them at home now. Seriously such a great experience, and worth every penny!

We had the absolute best time. I am so happy and thankful to have been part of this class. It truly was one of my most favorite days!!! Thank you!!!

This was an amazing class! Adding glass cutting to the experience made it unique, I loved the smell of my candle, the ingredients were high quality, and the couple teaching the class were very helpful and kind. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved this class! The instructors guide you carefully through the whole process, they are very kind and patient . You learn many things at once starting with the glass cutting to the wax picking, very entertaining and useful! And the result makes you feel so accomplished!

I was looking for a class on how to make candles for myself and a friend. And found this amazing class! Chicago Candle Company is an amazing class. Would So do it again! My candle smells and looks amazing. Do not pass this place up!

This class was AMAZING! Ferdinand and Sara make you feel so welcome in their space. They patiently walk you through the steps to cut your bottle, get it polished up, and create your candle in the perfect scent and color. I loved this class. I'd recommend it to everyone and I'd take it again. Two thumbs up! Five out of five stars!

This class was very fun and informative! We learned how to cut our own wine bottle, turn it into a candle holder and pour our preferred scent into it. Having the ability to learn about the entire candle-making process was also pretty neat.

We had so much fun with this class! Lots of opportunities to ask questions and customize your project. The class was very hands-on and I left feeling like I really understood how to upcycle bottles and make them into candles. Would recommend!

This is a fun way to spend an afternoon. The class is easy to follow and the instructor gives you tips on how to do this at-home after leaving!

I chose this dabble because of the candle making (my wife loves candles) and the bottle cutting (I wanted to learn) -- the people there were incredibly kind and thoughtful, and took the time to teach you to cut without fancy equipment, instead showing us how to cut bottles using cheap tools from amazon. I appreciated them so much, and definitely will be taking another dabble based on this experience.

Great class- really interesting and customizable. So excited to burn my candle at home!

The teacher taught skills that we can use on our own at home and we brought a 9 year old child who enjoyed and appreciated the experience.

Excellent class and tons of fun. Very hands on and the option to ask questions regarding the wine cutting / candle making process. The location was a little difficult to find but the teachers were very responsive and email you directions beforehand. They have wine openers, glasses and even a fridge to keep your vino cold. I highly recommend this class!

My girlfriends and I took Sara and Fernado's class and had a delightful time. We crammed a lot in the class from learning how to etch and cut class, to sanding rough edges, to then pouring our candles and customizing them with scents and color. There were a lot of people in the class, about 20 of us, and Fernando and Sara were patient with all of us, giving us 1 on 1 help and aiding us along the way so that we got exactly what we were looking for. I love my candle and am excited to try to test everything I learned at home!

What a fun experience! The instructor is so nice, patient, and encouraging. The studio is in an amazing refurbished warehouse with an amazing view! The options for color and scents were wonderful. I really enjoyed meeting the owners of the Chicago Candle Company and wish them much continued success.

I can’t recommend this class enough! The instructors were so informative, patient and friendly. Everything from learning to cut the bottle to pouring the candle are demonstrated and clearly explained so you feel like you’ve (nearly) mastered the technique upon conclusion of the class. It was really fun and the candle you make smells SO good! Not only will I recommend this class to anyone interested, I’ll also be a customer of theirs moving forward.

If you ever wanted to learn the art of candlemaking this is the class for you! Bonus is that you gain the skills of cutting glass bottles and the true artform of upcycling! Take this class! Great for a work group activity! BYOB and have a great time!

Amazing experience! My mom and I took this class and walked away with such excitement to try this at home. Fernando is awesome, and you learn everything from cutting the bottle to pouring the wax and scenting it. The scents are AMAZING and I will definitely be a customer as well. All candles from the shop are handmade and beautifully crafted. Highly recommend and I would totally do it all over again!

We had an incredible time learning how to cut wine bottles and make candles at Chicago Candle Company. We enjoyed learning about the cutting technique, how we weigh and scent the candles, as well as getting to see a unique view of the city from the studio. It was fun getting to choose a bottle from the collection, as well as seeing others in our class cut bottles that they brought. My mint julep candle is my new favorite scent!

This was a fantastic experience!! I was already familiar with the company but not the people behind it. I loved to hear their story, see the process and have the hands-on opportunity! I went by myself but there was a cute couple on a date...they looked like they had a fantastic time, so keep this in mind if you are trying to figure out something to do!

My mom and I really enjoyed this class. Fernando was an excellent teacher, very patient and very generous with his time. Fernando explained how to transfer the skills from the class to candle making at home. Our end product is beautiful and smells absolutely amazing. I think this is one of the best smelling candles I've every owned. I highly recommend this class!

Our teachers were great! It was a perfect class size too. We dabbled and had a super fun time.

I had an awesome time! My fiancé has been trying his hand at wine bottle cutting, but couldn’t figure out why weren’t coming out clean. Well, thanks to this class, now I know and we are going to take what I learned and put into action.

The scents you get to choose from are an absolute dream! I couldn’t decide if I wanted to smell it or eat it.

The teacher was patient, understanding, and attentive - especially because I was part of a smaller class size.

Definitely take this class. It’s fun, informative/practical, and the studio smells amazing.

My husband and I had a wonderful date night learning how to make these wonderfully scented candles! The teachers were patient, informative, hospitable and time simply flew by learning something completely new! We would do it all over again! Must try!

I was not sure what to expect but it was so much fun. It was a small class to we got plenty of hands on time and learned not only how the process is done but why.

Very engaging and fun teacher, great location, and excellent class. Highly recommend!

Fernando has such great energy. Enthusiastic, informative, interesting and passionate about not just candles but about meeting new people. I had so much fun there and have already agreed to come back and take the class again with more of my girlfriends! Plus, I LOVE my candle. It has my entire 1st floor of my home smelling and feeling so cozy! Absolutely recommend this class.

This class was extremely insightful. Sara and Fernando both shared their different set of skills and introduced us to the wonderful world of candle making. The candles we made were perfect Christmas presents. Thank you guys.

The class was great! The instructor was knowledgeable and gave directions of ways to cut glass at home. It was a fun time and the candle smells amazing!

What a great experience! The teacher, Fernando, was very patient and informative. The candle scents are marvelous. We brought our own bottles from home but broke a couple; they had tons available to use, though. The setting was very comfortable and easy to access. We highly recommend it!

This was my first dabble class. Was originally going to take another candle-making class but that one got canceled, and I'm glad because this one was so much fun. The teacher was patient and laid back, and it was a really enjoyable experience. Their candle scents are very unique and not chemical-smelling at all... Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I attended this class as a date and we really enjoyed it! I broke three bottles while attempting to cut, but the teacher (Fernando) was very patient and helpful. Our candles look and smell wonderful and the class was very fun.

It was fun! A friend and mine went together and I am confident I can make candles now! Saving my wine and booze bottles :)

I had previously purchased one of Chicago Candle Co.'s candles at Koval Distillary, so was super-excited to see that they had a class on dabble. Fernando and Sara were wonderful instructors...you see firsthand the level of care they put into their products. From Fernando teaching us how to expertly cut our glass to Sarah showing us how to perfectly pour our candles, this class did not disappoint! Perfect date night for my husband and I...and our candles look beautiful/smell amazing in our home!

Such a great hands-on class! Our instructor was attentive and helpful and made the class fun. The end product is amazing too! I left having learned a new skill that I’ll definitely use again.

Absolutely awesome experience. Fernando was an amazing instructor and the entire class was so fun. I highly recommend this class and am so glad I was able to learn such a unique trade from some awesome folks that are doing great things. Thank you Chicago Candle Company, I will be a life long customer and so thankful I was able to do this class with a great friend. A+ 5 star all that jazz!

I got this class for my sister's birthday and it was great! We learned a lot about making candles and are thrilled with the end product. The instructor gave us tips for doing this at home, and also shared why they do things a certain way over other methods. We were both shocked at how easy it was to break the glass. I've already recommended this class to two other people.

Very fun! Interesting to learn about the glass cutting and what goes into that. It was fun making our own candles and coming home with a sense of achievement!

My first dabble experience and it was great. The teacher was really laid back- the vibe was more akin to hanging out a friend's place than attending a class. The teacher explained each step, why it needed to happen, and how to go about procuring supplies / materials if the user wanted to repeat the process at home, as well as tips and tricks that the instructor had discovered in his time candle making. Venue was great, instructor was great, material was great, experience was great. Would enthusiastically recommend.

The teacher was very friendly and knowledge. She taught us a new skill that we can use again.

So much fun and so easy. The instructors explained everything and gave us clear examples. My candle smells AMAZING and the bottle is gorgeous!

The wine bottle cutting and candle making class was fantastic! You can tell the Valarde's enjoy working together. I appreciated all the insights they were able to share as we learned to prepare the bottles and make some good smelling candles. Thanks much for a nice evening with a culminating view of the Chicago skyline as our candles set.

Really enjoyed this class!! Learned so much about cutting different types of bottles, making scents and dying wax. Our instructors from Chicago Candle Co were amazing, and so thorough and patient! I was so impressed with the candles we took home. And I'm also looking forward to supporting this local Chicago company now that I know about them :)

DIY Soy candles and wine bottle cutting was a blast we went through step by step from picking and cutting a wine glass to making a candle. The owners/teachers were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. We had so much fun!

We had the most incredible experience at Chicago Candle Co with owners Sarah and Fernando. They took the time to explain the candle making process, demonstrate the art of wine bottle cutting, and help us create our own unique candles. The class was great, but the instructors are wonderful! They are so passionate for their small business and really wanted us to have a fun time (which we did!). Highly recommend this class and checking out their product online. We left the experience with candles and some great new friends.

The DIY Soy Candles, Wine Bottle Cutting class was a great experience! It was a fun, interactive event in a relaxed environment where you learned about the tools and process behind creating a soy candle in a glass bottle, and got to leave with your own creation! Good time!

Class was great. Instructors was detailed and helpful. Really enjoyed myself and went home with a great candle!
