The Studio 1903 Experience

A cozy place to slow down, follow your curiosity, and create a signature scent that feels like you.

Join me in the studio for a special candle-making gathering, offered once each quarter. With refreshments, good company, and my full collection of fragrances to explore, there’s time to settle in and enjoy making something all your own.

Come spend a little time in the studio

Your seat by the window.

Sunlight through the windows, amber bottles waiting to be explored, and a place set just for you. These studio classes are a little invitation into my world of candle making.

Smell your way through my entire fragrance collection, discover the notes you love, and blend them into your own signature scent. I’ll guide you as you mix and pour your soy candle, one lovely step at a time.

A little more time to make it yours.

Enjoy refreshments, conversation, and the pleasure of creating with your hands. Come on your own or bring a friend; you don’t need any candle-making experience.

The full scent collection. A signature blend. A warm welcome.

Plan a Workshop with Sherry

A glimpse into the gatherings

Made together, remembered fondly.

From the first fragrance choice to the final pour, each class has its own little story. Here are a few moments from the workshop table.

Around the table

It starts with a scent.

The fragrance bottles come out, guests settle in, and everyone begins discovering the notes they love.

The best part of a workshop is seeing someone hold the candle they blended and poured herself.
