hyderabad: If you love scented candles and are looking for the perfect candle to add a personal touch to your home decor, you can make your own candles in Hyderabad. You can also indulge in a variety of DIY art activities at Ignite Candle Bar and Art Cafe, located in the financial district of Gachibowli, Hyderabad's first candle pouring and DIY art cafe.
“The pour-your-own candle experience allows us to create our own blends,” says Shreya Gudena, founder of Ignite Candle Bar and Art Café.
“Start by sniffing over 100 fragrances and shortlisting your favorites. Next, select a jar, fill with hot wax containing your custom fragrance, and create your own personalized scented candle. Give your candle a name, give it its own identity, and hold it in your hands once it's cured and packaged,” she says.
The process is an immersive sensory journey, allowing people to explore countless fragrances before choosing their favorite.
The experience takes approximately 90 to 120 minutes, giving you plenty of time to savor the process and explore retail offerings. For individual experiences, reservations can be made at least one day in advance, but for large groups, he must be booked at least one week in advance.
Ignite uses 100% vegan soy wax and lead-free wicks in their candle-making process, ensuring their products are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and not tested on animals.
Their candles burn cleanly and are non-toxic. Ignite also offers a variety of DIY art activities, including ceramic painting, canvas painting, paint-by-numbers, diamond-by-numbers, mosaics, and DIY coasters, catering to art lovers from all walks of life.
The cafe also caters for private events, providing an intimate venue for gatherings of up to 50 people.
