Hickman County candle party
Pour candles together without leaving Centerville
MADE @ The Local is the candle party option in Hickman County for groups who want a hands-on activity in town. Guests choose scents, pour custom candles, and spend the party around one table.
The important part: candle parties must call ahead. Wax takes 1.5 hours to heat, so advance notice is what makes the party start on time.
- Minimum 3 guests
- Maximum 16 guests
- 2 hours of booked studio time
- One 8 oz custom soy candle in a lidded glass jar
Call ahead required for candle making because wax takes 1.5 hours to heat. Candle party pricing is taxed.
A candle party with pottery next door
Groups can keep the plan simple with candles, or pair candle making with pottery painting for a longer creative afternoon.
Pottery works differently: walk-ins are welcome, no reservation is needed, and finished pieces are ready for pickup after firing.
