The Creative Hub — Local services in Boston

Just did a candle making workshop here yesterday and it was amazing!! I never knew candle making could be so calming and relaxing. Our teacher Pertrina (sp?) was excellent!! She guided my group and I through each step of the candle making process and was so clear, easy to follow and informative! She has a background in education and as a fellow educator, she really broke candle making all the way down and even the chemistry behind it! There are many oils to choose from, and you can even mix a few so long as the combination is roughly 30 grams. You also get to choose whatever jar you like. Lucky for me, there was one chrome jar left on the shelf so I was able to grab that one to use! There was also refreshments, wine, and light snacks served during the workshop which was a great addition with the ticket purchase.

Now, this is a newer black owned business and women owed business, so I'm happy to support! The shop itself is very quaint, but has a lot of items for purchase, like other candles, perfumes, jewelry, and scents. It's located in the Speedway in Brookline which has a small lot beside it, but there's street parking if you are lucky or a Community Center parking lot a couple minutes away to park at.

Apparently, the owner also does soap making classes which sounds very interesting. I'm already thinking of coming back again sometime in the spring with some more friends! Please go! You won't be...

5 starts? That's not enough!!! The owner has done a great job and has created a very cozy and welcoming place. The owner is very knowledgeable and supportive. My mom and I attended a perfume making workshop and we loved it! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. The collection of perfume samples is great, you can create your basic staple fragrance or go further and experiment a bit! Also, you will not be rushed here! Sometimes you just need more time and more guidance (sorry Steysy, we stole some of your Friday night). I would highly recommend this place if you want to try out your creative skills! I would love...

We did a candle making workshop and it was great! Such a fun time! Steysy was so helpful before the workshop answering questions about parking and restaurant options. The shop is adorable with Steysy’s creations and items from other local vendors/artists. Steysy provides clean, high quality materials and was so thorough discussing the candle making process. We had a great time for this group activity and I hope to look out for other workshops...
