This one is in Ridgedale, the sleepy mall in the west burbs of Mini Soda. They're not cheap but they do have a good selection. I just can't spend too much time in here cuz I get a migraine headache because of all the scents. It just doesn't make scents.

The most obvious reason is that of course you want to smell what you're getting. But also I just love the whole ambiance when all the studios at the Northrup King building open up to let you wander around. And acutally, a really cool thing to do is save your used containers and bring them back, and they will sell you a replacement candle of the same size for half off! These are very thoughtfully crafted candles, with unique scents that I have gotten compliments on from my houseguests. They have new creations each time I come in, and they have different styles depending on your preferences. Some I've liked much more than I expected, like Tomato Garden, I've been stocking up on that scent, very pleasant! Check their socials for when they're open, but I think the normal thing is on Saturdays from 9-4 and on the first Thursday evening of each month.

I had an awesome time learning the art of candle making with owner Heidi! She is a rockstar and is…read moreso freaking talented. Her story is very inspiring and I love how she's passionately sharing her talents with others. All of her candles are environmentally friendly and she also offers a candle exchange program that promotes healthy and sustainable choices for avid candle users who wish to recycle. Excelsior Candle Co is perfect for a date night, gathering with family or friends, or anyone that's interested in making their own candles with a guide. Her sessions are also very reasonably priced and are of great value. I think my favorite scent of all time was made by Heidi and it's her Guilt Free Egg Nog candle.... Thanks to her, every room in my home is warmly scented and I couldn't be more happy! FYI- They are inside Northrup King Building - Floor 2, Studio 206

We then got a little history of the shop and step by step instructions on the candle making progress. The candle making itself takes about 30 mins and an hour to cool. While it's cooling, they recommended we grab some food or walk around the area nearby. We got some coffee at a nearby cafe and chatted while we waited for our candles to dry. You get the name the candles and they print out a label for you. Overall, such an awesome experience and would do it again. I love that they use sustainable materials and if you bring back the jar, they will give you a discount on your next purchase!

Highly recommend going to classes here!!…read more I first visited for their 3rd birthday party where I made a linoleum block print. Brooke gave me a quick intro and gave me all the tips and tricks on how to carve the rubber block. Most recently I did their gemstone ring making class. The instructors Hailey and Lola were kind and very helpful. They break down the whole process and explain everything well. It was very fun and the results were great! It was worth the price and I plan to buy another class soon! They have classes from jewelry making, painting, to cookie decorating.

Excited to go back to make more jewelry!

So happy to have found this hidden gem in Stillwater! I booked a "pour your own" candle class for a…read moregroup of friends for our girls night out and absolutely fell in love this store! The place itself has such a unique and dark, yet luxe atmosphere with a touch of goth aesthetic. I was slightly worried the smell would be overwhelming since one of my friends is sensitive to scents but as soon as you walk in you are pleasantly enveloped with a most enjoyable and comforting smell without it being overbearing! Plus, not only are their candles toxic free, but hand-poured and formulated with high end luxury oils blended into a 100% natural soy wax blend for clean burning. I also love that they have an awesome recycling/discount program to reduce their footprint. Its refreshing to see a company with such high values and truly consider their work as a passionate art form rather than just another tourist shop in this charming historic town. Our group was given time to peruse the retail portion of the store before our class started which includes not only candles, but one of a kind items and gifts (even from some of my favorite brands that are usually harder to find in stores!) including Spitfire Girl, Sugar Boo and P.F. Candles. We received a discount for doing the class also! Booking the workshop online was quite simple and very convenient as it assured our spots (they do accept walk ins but spaces seemed to fill quickly so I am happy I made reservations) I also like their flexibility as I was able to book the basic package with the option for everyone to make their own upgrades separately if desired. The workshop space was a whole upper level floor in a historic brick building (circa 1800s) designated just for the candle making. It was spacious with two huge tables to accommodate up to a group of 16 people! The large windows overlooking the towns main street was also a bonus. We were able to sit where we liked and each spot had a cute tray set up that included all the supplies we needed to make our candle. There was a beautiful variety of vessels show cased and easy to select from with pricing clearly labeled. There was also wax station and a scent station that offered an incredible selection of pre blended scents each of which were carefully curated by the owner and kept unnamed as to enhance our scent experience with our memory, making us reminisce on what each reminded us of. Overall, the entire process was truly hands on and the instructor was super personable and made the detailed process seem so effortless. It was so fun to collaborate and guess what smells we could decipher in each blend- and the instructor knew exactly what was included in each in case we couldn't figure it out! We were also able to mix the scents if we wanted making it feel like a fun mad scientist experiment! This is something totally unique that none of us had done before and they even served wine and beer to accompany the class so it felt very intimate and classy. We did an evening class so we were able to pick up our candles the next day-we were glad because we went out to dinner after and didn't want to have to carry them around with us. The instructor also gave us an insider tip to a hidden speak easy bar that was just so magical and mysterious that we would never have otherwise known about! Definitely will be back as I think this would make the cutest date night!

The glass was not black as appeared has obviously been spray painted black and was scratched when we got it home, not noticeable in the dark store. Doesn't smell like much once lit.
