Tucked away in the heart of Parnell, you will find our intimate candle making workshop. We offer a unique, hands-on experience where you’ll explore the power of scent, nostalgia, and creativity while crafting your own custom scent for a soy wax candle.
Our studio on 165 Parnell Road is perfect for individual bookings or groups of two. As it is attached to the store, it is less private if you are booking for an event like a birthday party. It is imagined to be the alleyway in a bazaar where artisans are working on their craft----a hidden treasure trove.
Whether you're after a cosy experience by the fireplace at our in-store studio or a private workshop for an occasion, our studio locations have it taken care of. Designed to be fun, interactive, and beginner-friendly—no prior experience needed!
Guided by our expert hosts, you'll:
  • Curate your bespoke scent using premium fragrance oil blends (and your imagination)
  • Create a soy wax container candle in a 120g glass jar
  • Customise your candle with a personalised label
  • Take it home the same day
How it works:
  • Duration: The candle-making process takes up to one hour. Afterward, your candle needs another 1/2 hour to set before pickup.
  • While You Wait: We recommend grabbing a treat from Juice Up or Cha Bliss, just a short walk away!
  • Flexible Booking: If our listed times don’t work for you, get in touch—we'll do our best to accommodate. For groups of over 8 people for private events, birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, and corporate events, we host with Chocolate Boutique, which includes a signature dessert and drink in the price!

  • Candle making is not just a science; it is a fun and creative team activity. We work with our class and tailor each experience to your personalities. With over 60 fragrances to choose from, we provide all the tools needed to blend a custom scent for a soy wax candle.
  • Teams love this experience because they learn something new about their colleagues and have the opportunity to get creative without mess or paints—just their imagination.
  • It makes for a perfect wind-down, mindful, and wellness activity with a splash of laughter and fun.
Come join us if you’re looking for a fun date night, birthday celebration, team building event, or a relaxing self-care session. Our workshops spark joy, meaningful conversations and create core memories at the bazaar.

FAQ

Can I make more than one candle?
Yes! Additional candles can be made for $20 per candle. You can request this on the day.
Will It Get Messy?
We take care of all the messy parts for you, like the wax melting but there is still a small risk of droplets of wax or fragrance oils on your clothes as it is ultimately a creative craft workshop. We recommend bringing an apron or to wear something that you don’t mind getting a bit of wax on it - it doesn’t happen often but just in-case!
How do I book for a private corporate workshop?
For off-site corporate events (up to 40 people) you can contact us to create a custom workshop experience for you. We can host workshops anytime between 10 AM – 9 PM and have successfully hosted memorable workshops for Harbour Grounds, My Food Bag, Douglas Pharmaceuticals, Russell McVeagh and Cotton On Group. Let us make your next work social one to remember!

Masala bazaar started seven years ago when I was looking for a creative outlet. Candlemaking caught my eye and since then not only have I taught myself the science of candlemaking, I've perfected it so much that my team now teach over 30 people in just one evening how to make candles! Masala Bazaar is all about making crafting, science and creativity accessible and easy - just like artisans
I had a vision to create a community that supports slow artisanal craft and creates rather than consumes is how Masala Bazaar came to be.
A bazaar is somewhere to shop handmade, or make something of your own. One where each item is a labour of love (pyaar) from the hands of the artisans to your home.
In our bazaar, you can find us pouring our own candles, curating fabrics, art and ceramics from artisans in India and Pakistan as well as handcrafted products from South Asian owned brands in Aotearoa.
And just like a bazaar, we have a Karigar Lane (artisan street), a space curated with textiles, paints, art and scent to allow anyone to be an artisan. Karigar Lane recreates the energy of a bazaar, alive with laughter, crafts and chai late into the night.
Can’t wait to be part of our bazaar?
