The vibe
Calm, design-led, beautifully giftable.
Candle Painting is one of Aura Lab's most popular daytime sessions. Guests choose a pre-poured pillar or shaped candle and decorate it using soft wax paints, fine brushes and a curated palette inspired by current design trends. The pace is slow, the music is calm and the result is a candle that looks like something you'd buy in a boutique — because you basically just made one.
