How the Workshop Runs
The session starts with scent: each guest blends and creates a custom fragrance for a 12 oz candle. Next, everyone pours their candle, and while it dries the instructor guides the group through designing a beautifully styled charcuterie board with savory and sweet accoutrements. It is an all-sensory experience that combines scent, design and food, and it is perfect for people who love to host, are curious about candle making or want ideas for building a charcuterie board.
Why It Works for Groups
There is something for everyone to do with their hands, and plenty to talk about while the candles set. Colleagues compare scent blends, swap board ideas and share the finished spreads. With room for 10 to 200 guests, it is one of the most social large group team building activities, and the hands-on format keeps everyone engaged from start to finish.
The workshop suits a team building activity, a Christmas party, a birthday or a bachelorette party. As holiday team building activities go, it arrives just in time for holiday hosting season, and as a christmas team building idea it sends every guest home with a candle and fresh hosting skills. It is a crowd-pleasing pick for unique team building events that mix creativity with good food.
The pacing is part of the fun. Candle pouring takes only a short time, and the drying window becomes the moment to slow down, build a board and enjoy a drink together, so the session never feels rushed. Guests who love to host leave with practical ideas for arranging a spread at home, and everyone carries out a finished candle scented exactly the way they chose.
