I recently took my teenage niece and nephew to the candle-making workshop at Masala Bazaar during the school holidays—and what an unforgettable experience it was! It was our very first time making candles, and from start to finish, it was a journey filled with learning, laughter, self-discovery, and a real sense of achievement.
The ambiance of the workshop was serene, cozy, and truly "wowish"—like stepping into a peaceful little sanctuary where creativity and calm go hand in hand. Haya, who led the workshop, was absolutely wonderful. Her warm, friendly personality instantly made us feel welcome and at ease. Even when we weren’t sure what we were doing, we felt confident knowing Haya was there to gently guide us through any hiccups.
By the end, each of us walked away with a beautifully unique, great-smelling candle—and some fantastic memories. The teens absolutely loved it too (which says a lot!). It’s not just a fun activity, but a genuinely fulfilling one. I would 100% do it again, and I’m already thinking about bringing more family or friends next time.
