F/W 2026 Workshops
We invite you to beeswax-working workshops in our atelier! Each session is dedicated to one of the techniques used to create candles at Svetlica: poured candles, sculptural modeling of candles or beeswax objects, or weaving candles from wax rods.
The workshops are led by the Svetlica founder and chandlerlin, Nastia Grigoriadi, and take place in our studio in the north of Leipzig. Looking forward to meeting you!

A. Tiny hand-poured
candles
We will gather to explore one of the oldest candle-making techniques — poured candles. At Svetliсa, this is our favorite technique and the foundation of every candle we create. We will be working with candles up to 15 cm in height. Thanks to their size, they are perfect, for example, as birthday cake candles — or for lighting during an hour to an hour and a half of focused work, or, on the contrary, a quiet moment of rest.
B. Hand-weaving a candle
from wax rods
One of Svetliсa’s beloved designs — the Vizanka candle — is woven from several wax rods. In this workshop, we will explore a few weaving techniques and create our own candleя
C. Hand-sculpting candles
or objects
Many Svetliсa candles are rooted in hand-sculpted wax techniques. Just as bees use wax as a building material in their hives, we will learn to sculpt shaped candles and small objects from wax.
- During the workshop, we have a planned break. You’ll be welcome to step outside into the courtyard, or enjoy some refreshments: dried fruits, raspberries, and herbal tea
-
The class will be held primarily in English, but depending on the languages spoken by the participants, I may occasionally switch to Russian, a little bit of German, and even less Greek
- The workshop requires a minimum of 2 attendees to run.
