CANDLE WORKSHOPS

A slow, hands-on workshop for making candles by hand — dipping, twisting and sculpting a taper candle that's entirely yours. In Lisbon.

About LUM.

A workshop built on slow making.

LUM. Workshops is a candle-making workshop based in Lisbon. Every session is small and hands-on — you'll leave with a candle you made yourself, from the first dip to the last little detail.

We're just getting started, and this page will grow along with us. Follow along on Instagram for new dates and photos from each session.

The Process

How a session unfolds.

01

Dip

Dip the wick into pots of coloured wax, layer by layer, until your candle takes shape. No experience needed.

02

Shape

While the wax is still warm, twist it, braid it or sculpt it into something new.

03

Decorate

Add wax petals, stripes, bows and little details — every candle comes out different.

04

Wrap & Take Home

Hang it to set, then we weigh it, wrap it in paper, and it's ready to go home with you.
