Welcome to our NYC Candlemaking Kitchen
At Vela we treat candlemaking like cooking. All it takes is the right recipe, quality ingredients, a dash of creativity, and a pinch of patience to make the perfect candle!
From classic soy candles to massage candles, wax melts, and accent arch candles, every class is 100% hands-on and always changing. We love experimenting — new themes, fun collabs, and fresh scents are always on the menu. Whether it’s a date night, a birthday, a team building, or just a night out with friends, a class that smells this good is always a good decision.
