Workshop FAQ
Get ready to dive into a world of creativity, laughter, and pure enjoyment !
What's the vibe?
A warm welcome awaits! Step into a space that's bursting with friendliness. Blaze & Foam aims to create an environment where your creative spirit can run wild while feeling right at home.
What's the magic minimum workshop number?
All 90 minute public and private workshops need a minimum of ten enthusiasts to get the party started.
Are you workshop products quality assured?
Rest easy – all the products we use are aligned with our ethical standards and high quality. Everything's vegan, palm oil-free, and phthalate-free. Our fragrance oils are FDA-approved and skin-friendly.
What should I wear?
Dress to impress.. your craft. No need to doll up for the occasion – comfort is key. Closed-toe footwear is recommended. Aprons are up for grabs for the day if you're all about keeping your clothes spick and span.
Are BYO sips and snacks allowed?
Yes. You're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to all workshops to keep those creative juices flowing. If you're at a public workshop, be mindful of allergies.
Do you offer any overtime play?
If you're booked a private workshop and are having a blast, you might want to extend the fun. It's all good – with a little heads-up. Just let us know beforehand, and we'll try to help you keep the creative vibes going longer for an extra fee. On the other hand, public workshops finish on the dot as we may have other workshops to set up for or keeping a tight venue schedule.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We're flexible with payments – cash, credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal are all welcome.
Can I arrive fashionably late?
Life happens. We accommodate latecomers in public workshops up to 15 minutes. Just note that we won't be checking messages or calls once the 90 minute workshop starts and no shows do not receive refunds. For private workshops, we have allocated certain times at the venue so start and finish on time. If you arrive late, your workshop time will be reduced.
Do you accept NDIS workshop bookings?
Yes. Please see this link with all the information for NDIS funded private and public workshop bookings. We are not a Registered NDIS Provider so you will need to get your booking pre-approved and pre-paid by your plan manager.
Is your location wheelchair friendly?
The venue we utilise regularly is on the ground floor directly off the street. There are no stairs or steps at the front door and the entry deep can be used as a roller door. The toilet is located on the ground floor too, however, the door width is not wheelchair accessible. There is a cafe directly next door which has a disabled friendly bathroom.
How do virtual workshops work?
Having access to a stove with a pot and water, a microwave, or an electric heating element is a must. You'll get a Zoom link sent to your inbox. No need to have a Zoom account, but it's a good idea to have the Zoom app downloaded ahead of time. Click on that Zoom link around 5 minutes before the workshop. You'll enter a virtual waiting room. Once you're in, hit the video button at the bottom of your screen. You've got the choice to mute or unmute your microphone (it's next to the video button). Want to join the chat? The text box at the bottom is your place to shine.
How do I keep the crafting party going post-workshop?
We offer a 10% discount on all supplies on the day of your candle pour experience. If you'd like to pre-order your supplies for collection after your pour, simply add the code WORKSHOPPICKUP at checkout to void shipping and leave a note in the comments section about what date and time you are attending and we will do our best to have it ready.

Secure Your Spot with a Deposit
Lock in your chosen date by putting down a 50% non refundable deposit. This ensures your spot is reserved, the venue is booked and your artistic adventure is just around the corner.
Can we expand the guest list?
Your deposit covers a minimum of ten participants, and final numbers can be confirmed one week before the event.
What is your cancellation policy for private events?
Once you have paid a deposit for the experience, it becomes non refundable. If you provide written notice at least seven (7) days prior to your public event date to info@blazeandfoam.com.au we can reschedule your booking date and time, or we can issue you with a credit note. For private events, we require written notice at least 14 days.Unless you receive written confirmation acknowledging your cancellation message, your event will still be assumed to be progressing.
Can I bring my own containers?
No. When it comes to containers, we've got you covered. We provide containers specifically designed for candle making, ensuring safety and quality.
Can I bring my own favourite fragrances and essential oils?
No. – we've got that covered. We use our own brand of IFRA-endorsed fragrances designed for candles and soaps.
Can we take our candles home after the event?
Your newly minted candles need a bit of time to fully set – around 2-3 hours. If you're in a 90-minute class, we'll offer your group a cardboard tray for the semi-set candles to travel home with you on the same day. If that doesn't work, group or individual shipping is always on the table for a fee or you can pop back to our pop up shop for collection while it is still open.
