    Can I take the candle with me?

    • Yes!  By the end of the class, your candle will be cool and ready to take home!  However, we recommend letting your candle cure for at least 24 hours before first lighting it.

    What size candle do I get to make?

    • We use an 11 oz jar with 8 oz of wax and approximately 1 oz of fragrance oil. The candle is the same size as those we sell in the store.  The burn time is 40+ hours.  See below for examples of candles that have been made.
     

      How many oils can I use?

      • We recommend between 2-3 fragrance oils, though there is technically no limit!

        What kind of food is served?

                • Get in touch with us right away!  Depending on availability, we may be able to open an additional seat to accommodate your friend.  If not, we can definitely find (or create) a class that has room for everyone in your party!  You can send us a message using our Live Chat feature, you can call us at (469) 466-2876, or you can email us at contact@cravcompany.com.

                Can I plan a class with just friends and family?

                • Yes!  If you'd like a class that is private, for just you and those you know, we can setup a private event.  Private events hosted by CRAV are held at our Dallas location, but can also be hosted by you at a location of your choosing.  Reach out to inquire about dates and rates!  We'd be honored to celebrate with you!
