Helpful answers
Questions before you begin.
Do I need previous candle-making experience?
No. Beginner courses explain equipment, wax, wicks, fragrance, and basic studio habits from the beginning.
What materials are required?
The exact list appears in each course description. Most lessons use a heat-safe vessel, wax, a suitable wick, fragrance, a scale, and basic protective equipment.
Are the courses live or recorded?
The catalog identifies each course as On-demand, Live online, or Studio workshop so you can choose the format that fits your schedule.
How long should a candle cure?
Cure time depends on the wax and formula. Each course explains why patience matters and gives a sensible testing timetable rather than one universal promise.
Can I save courses for later?
Yes. Use Follow on any catalog card. Saved course IDs are kept in your browser and appear on the Fallows page.
How does the cart work?
Add courses from the catalog, then open Cart to adjust quantities and review the local order total. No payment is processed by this demonstration site.
Do you teach fragrance safety?
Courses discuss responsible measuring, labeling awareness, ventilation, and following supplier documentation. They do not replace product-specific instructions.
Can I ask which course suits me?
Yes. Send your experience level and interests through the contact form, and the Softmere team will suggest a suitable starting point.
