Kali Smith and Brant Anderson of Olphactory Candles lead a guided session focused on a custom 10-ounce candle, with seasonal garden character and several senses in the mix.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The finished project is specific: participants will make a custom 10-ounce candle. The Arboretum also describes the workshop as engaging smell, taste and hearing, though it does not explain how those senses fit into the activity. That combination gives the class a broader brief than fragrance alone, while leaving the hands-on method open-ended in the event description.
The class is presented by POUR’d, with instruction from Kali Smith and Brant Anderson of Olphactory Candles. Its garden connection is seasonal: the candle’s scent profile draws on the time of year and the setting, but the listing does not name particular fragrances or say whether participants choose among scents.
The description gives the project’s size and sensory framing, but not a step-by-step technique or the materials used. Anyone comparing classes by the process they will learn, rather than by the take-home object, may want to check those details with the organizer before booking.

The Arboretum pitches the workshop to people who are new to candle making as well as those looking for a holiday gift project. It also names individuals, small groups and couples as possible attendees, so visitors do not need to assemble a group to fit the event’s stated format.
The listing does not set out a formal experience prerequisite. It also does not specify an age policy, whether materials or refreshments are included, or the class’s cancellation terms; those details are worth checking at booking if they affect your plans.
