The vessel collection
Eleven shapes. Every one comes in solid, marble, half & half or natural, in any color you mix.
Muse
A sculpted figure with the candle set into the top. The most decorative of the collection.
Bubbles
Three stacked rounds with a lid and a ball on top. The marbling is where this one gets interesting.
Halo
A low, rounded dome that sits close to the surface. The wide opening means the whole top pools evenly.
Classic
A straight-sided cylinder with a thick rim. The one that shows marbling best, since the surface is uninterrupted.
Arbor
Straight-sided with a subtle draped texture down the side. The one that looks most at home on a shelf next to books.
Dune
A gentle taper that widens toward the top. Simple enough that the color does all the talking.
Sweetheart
Raised hearts across a straight-sided body. The one people pick when the candle is going to someone.
Bloom
A rounded body that opens into a soft, wavy rim, like petals folding outward. The most organic shape of the collection.
Stripes
Vertical ribs that catch the light differently as the candle burns down. Works in a soft pastel or a deep saturated color.
Groove
Horizontal bands wrapping a compact body, the smaller sibling of Bubbles without the lid. Sits low enough for a coffee table.
Twist
A single ribbon wrapping the whole vessel. It catches light differently from every angle, so it never looks the same twice.
How the colors work
Four ways to color the vessel. Every shape takes all four.
Solid
One color, mixed evenly. Clean and uniform, so the shape does the talking.
Marble
Two or more colors folded together. Every marble is different because no one stirs the same way twice.
Half and half
Two colors poured in sequence so they meet in a clean line.
Natural
No color at all. Cures to a soft off-white with a matte, stone-like finish.
The colors you start from
These are the colors on the table. You mix from them to get your own shade, so the color you leave with is one you made, not one you picked.

What it looks like next to a regular candle container
A standard candle workshop hands you a glass jar or a tin. Mass-produced, forgettable.
The vessel you make at Set & Melt looks like a design object — weight, texture, color, all from your own hands. On your shelf it doesn't read as a workshop souvenir. It reads as something you bought at a ceramics studio.
Your shape, your color, made by hand.
A pre-made jar, off a shelf.
What guests are saying
We celebrated my friend's bachelorette party with Set & Melt, and it was the perfect activity. You literally make your own vessel from scratch. Maria treated us wonderfully. Hands down, a 10/10 plan!
My job did a team building event with Set & Melt and it was a great experience! It was really fun to create our own candle and vessel from start to finish. A very unique class to take!
I had so much fun at this candle making experience. We got to make the candle mold and the candle. 10/10 would recommend.
Maria took great care of my group! Very fun experience and would love to do it again. Also, the scents are amazing and you can find your own way of personalizing them!
I was traveling with friends and we booked Set & Melt; they came directly to our hotel. An amazing experience, I 100% recommend it!
Had such a great time doing this candle making workshop with my family. They came right to our home and took care of everything, from setting up to cleaning up afterward. My favorite part was making the vessel that my candle would go in because it made it feel more personal. Such a fun and creative experience.
I really enjoyed this candle workshop at home with my friends and brother! It was a really fun, interactive process that was easy to follow along. Choosing the aromas was my favorite part. Definitely makes a rainy summer in Orlando much more enjoyable.
They came to our house and we made candles as a family experience. Maria was super nice and made the whole experience really fun. Really cool mobile candle making workshop.
Loved my Set & Melt candle! Process was super fun and simple! Had a blast going through the steps with Maria and getting creative with my design. Vase feels so high quality that's hard to believe you made it yourself! I went with a blend of peach and coconut scents that is subtle and I looooove how it smells! The corgis approved too!
Absolutely WOW. This experience completely exceeded my expectations! Not only do you get to create your own candle with your favorite scent, but you also get to design and make your own vase. It's such a unique and creative experience from start to finish. Everything was so fun, beautifully organized, and truly special. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone looking for something different and memorable. I will definitely be back and will absolutely book this for a future event. 100/10. Truly amazing!
Everything was amazing; it was such a fun and interesting experience. I didn't know I could create a candle from scratch — I even made the mold! When it came to choosing the scent, I was really undecided because they have such wonderful fragrances, but the staff was so attentive and helped me every step of the way. I felt like a professional artist when I saw my finished candle.
I had an amazing experience at this workshop learning how to make scented candles from scratch. The atmosphere was so pleasant and relaxing, and the instructors explained each step clearly and patiently. I loved being able to choose my own scents and create a personalized candle. It's definitely an experience I recommend for going with friends, as a couple, or even alone to enjoy something different and creative. I would definitely go again!
I had a Wonderful time at Set & Melt! This workshop is beautiful and cozy. The process of making my own candle was very relaxing, and I loved the unique experience. The staff was very helpful and they have a great variety of scents. My candle smells amazing! Highly recommended if you are looking something creative and different to do, this is the place.
I recently hosted a candle-making class in my home, and it was such a fantastic experience. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The quality of the materials and the final products we created were all top-notch — the candles honestly look and smell like something you would buy in a high-end boutique.
