The Candle Alchemist is a Candle & Craft Studio located in rural Anglesey, just 3 miles from Newborough beach.  We run a variety of Candlemaking Workshops for adults and also hold Candle & Craft sessions for children.

We offer drop-in ‘taster sessions’ where you can have a go at making a hand-dipped candle or several floating candles – however we recommend you phone ahead first to check availability.

For those wanting to learn more about a variety of different candlemaking techniques we run more structured Candlemaking Workshops.  These last anywhere between 1 1/2 to 3 hours (depending on your choice of workshop)  and for this you will need to book in advance.

We welcome groups for Birthday Parties, Hen Parties, Baby Showers, Team Building, or simply a get-together with a few friends!

We have a passion for Candles – designing them, making them and teaching fun workshops!

Designer and maker, Anita, moved to the Isle of Anglesey  in 2015  to fulfill her dream of opening her own Candle Making Studio in a former Victorian schoolhouse.  A lifelong crafter and maker, she began candlemaking many years ago in Cheshire, and knew immediately she had found her passion!  As Anita puts it “wax has endless possibilities of shape, colour and texture – for me  the process of designing candles is quite magical”

Opening the Candle and Craft Studio on Anglesey has allowed Anita the opportunity to share her passion with others.  She now teaches Workshops to individuals and groups wanting to learn candlemaking, a craft that appeals to adults and children across all age groups.

The studio is also where she creates and her own unique artisan candles which are available to purchase in the small studio shop.
