I walked into this store quite by accident, because I didn't look through the many clear windows or…read moreeven at the store sign before I walked in. The many scents that hit my nose as soon I opened the door hit me hard, but in a good way! I, at first, thought I was in a soap store, Candlefish is at the north end of Ponce City Market close to the parking lot. It's a nice, open, bright space, with welcoming and friendly employees. After I realized that it was multiple various candle scents that I was smelling at the same time, a smiling employee came to me, and told me to let her know if I needed any help and if she could help me find anything. I told her that I was just looking. After picking up a variety of candles, such as mimosa, pina colada, Bloody Mary, and others, and smelling each of them, the candles started smelling similar. Not that they actually did smell similar, it's just that the scents throughout the store were just overwhelming me. This was my queue to leave. I will most likely be back to take a closer look at what Candlefish has. The store smelled really nice.

She had two assistants who were such a pleasure! I forgot their names unfortunately. They answered our questions, helped us pick out our scents, and set us up to make the candles. What a nice vibe!

But, I believe it's affordable because of the amount of clients coming through the door. Such a pleasant atmosphere. Id definitely recommend.

Such a special experience!…read more Celebrated my birthday a different way this year as being 9 months pregnant and exhausted, I refused to pass up on fun but needed something more relaxed (and hopefully something that allowed me to sit while doing so!) It's so funny because I told my bf a few days before that candle making would be cool (because I love candles), but that I worried if the smells would bother me... only to turn around and say a day later that I did, in fact, want to do candle making. LOL. Oops. So he made it happen! Crafted Creations is a Black woman-owned biz in Doraville, located in a busy shopping plaza. They offer a variety of classes over a few days throughout the week and I'm happy that he grabbed tickets in time for a 3pm class on my birthday. This class was different than some of the others that I saw, as it was a combo class that included a candle and a room spray for each participant for under $60. We arrived a few minutes early and waited outside for just a few after reading a sign on the door that asked guests to do so if we were early. Makes sense, as it's not a huge space and they seemed to be mindful of crowding. As soon as it turned 3pm, they welcomed us in with open arms. The space is super cute! There's a shiny gold photo backdrop at the front along with a table of candles on sale and a large display of candles, wax melts and room sprays from their own line of scents available. Check-in was a breeze as my partner gave his name and we were instructed to scan a QR code that led us to a waiver. After this, we were guided over to a table that already had all of the tools laid out for us and the other guests. I love communal events such as this as it encourages socializing with folks beyond those you came with and Crafted Creations does a great job of that. We were paired with another couple and a pair of friends, one who was also celebrating her birthday, truly a great group! On the table there were two lazy susans with a variety of scent oils as well as individual trays that had scales, measuring cups, and more. We got started a few minutes later than I had expected (due to the timing policy for guests) but I think they were waiting for a group that came in just a few minutes behind but it worked out great. Each step was super easy to understand, easily executed and fun to make happen. My boyfriend and the gentleman at our table were the only guys in the room and I'm sure that my bf was even surprised at how he enjoyed it lol (also, he now thinks he's a scientist so there's that LOL.) I can't even say how long the process took for both items because we were so focused and not looking at the time at all. My favorite part ended up being the scent-choosing part despite assuming that I'd be overwhelmed. I ended up choosing a clean linen, an amber of sort and I totally can't remember the other scent but as one who goes for a 'clean' smell vs. sweet or musky scents, I was grateful for the varieties. Once we finished our scentful science projects, we were told that as our candles cooled, there were a number of games we could play to pass the time as well as popping any bottles that we brought (it's BYOB!) We totally forgot to bring some sparkling cider but lucky me, the young ladies at our table were sweet enough to share theirs with me and the friend of the bday girl even allowed me to use her champagne glass. *tears* SO SWEET. Community is everything. We played 2 or 3 rounds of uno that were sooo fun, the time passed so swiftly, when they announced that we were good to pick up our candles, we were all still laughing and in the midst of our table fun. Truly a phenomenal experience to celebrate my birthday and another great opportunity to support a Black and woman-owned business - I'll be back!

I owe the owner of 29Thirty a huge apology because I meant to write this review a few months ago…read more This place is lit! Parking? Ehh, not the best, but it is definitely worth it and it was free. I was invited here for a real estate event. Don't know how I got on the list, but I'm not going to question a free experience in the A. This place is divided into two sections. One section for body scrubs and butters and the other for candles. We chose the candle experience. It was really fun! Very engaging and interactive. There was plenty of staff readily available to assist you with any questions you had. Regular price would have been $43.56 per person, but even then it would have been worth it. The whole experience lasted an hour or two if even. You'll have to forgive me, there was some alcohol involved in the process which made everything all the more lively. The owner is the sweetest! She made sure to connect with everyone. The candle aroma oils were expansive and you could quite literally create just about anything and everything you could think of, including any of the premade candles (available for purchase) on the walls. The best part? You get to name and keep your candle to take home. 10/10 ATL experience. Highly recommend.

I tried the custom sugar scrub-making class with my best friend, and we left with soft hands and full hearts. Every part of the experience was thoughtfully curated--from the scent options to the shimmer and self-care vibes. It's not just a class, it's an experience. Whether you're planning a girls' day, date night, or solo reset, this is the spot. And yes, they also offer body butter and candle-making classes (which I'm already planning to come back for). Bonus points for being Black-owned, woman-owned, and so clearly rooted in community and creativity. Atlanta needs more places like this!

You choose what color to paint the wood, then go thru a several step process until voila, you have a beautiful decorative wood plank for your home or as a gift. I love the selections where you can personalize with your family name and "est." date. They had a team of ladies come to our event to help with instructions and color recommendations if you needed them - super nice & helpful. Definitely allot two hours for this kind of event. Highly recommend not just for team building but also a great activity to do among friends. The reviews mention BYOB which is awesome too!

I like that it was more private and intimate. Honestly it was like the other group wasn't even there which I liked. They had workers who helped them on their projects while we had some for our table who helped us. I can't remember the girl who was helping us, but she was good at helping me pick out the kind of wood and colors I wanted for my project because I wasn't sure. I didn't even know we'd be doing diy stuff like sanding our wood and nailing things together. I thought that was pretty neat and different. The staff was very welcoming to our party and helpful. They made sure we all were able to get the steps done that we needed. They showed us how to use the air gun which I thought was cool. I like how they showed us examples of other projects around the shop to get ideas from. You're also allowed to bring your own food and wine, which is similar to the sip and paints. Our party brought along some snacks and wine and it was just a great wind down time to get away from work and start off an enjoyable weekend I definitely will go back because I saw some other stuff I'd love to make!

Atlanta Hot Glass is a very, very cool place (no pun intended). It is the first glass blowing…read morecollective I've ever been to and it happens to be in East Decatur not that far from where I live. I first learned about Atlanta Hot Glass through the Emory Alumni Association, as strange as that may sound. I'm an alum of Emory (in case the comment above didn't make it obvious) and when I received the latest newsletter about upcoming events and goings on, an event about an interactive glass blowing night caught my attention. Fast forward two weeks and my boyfriend and I showed up at Atlanta Hot Glass, owned by Emory alum Susan Chin, and were introduced to the fascinating world of glass blowing. Let me tell you, it's harder than it looks, but lucky for all of us (there were about 20 people there in all), the instructors were fantastic. In addition to helping us make our own blown glass ornaments, they showed us some awesome examples of what you can make once you've gotten more skilled at it. We learned how hot the glass has to be to be malleable (it's kept in a 2050 degree furnace), how hot the 'glory holes' are that melt the glass shards and color the glass (2200 degrees), how glass sculptures are molded and shaped and transferred to the oven to cool down, etc. It was incredible and eye-opening and really fun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself since everyone was so friendly and willing to answer questions and assist us. Susan's cousin was great because he explained to us what was happening as the instructors were demonstrating making different pieces and when I was making my own blown glass ornament, my instructor (whose name escapes me), talked me through each step and why we did it. Atlanta Hot Glass also offers classes, studio time and opens itself up to the public like it did for Emory that night, which is great. Even if you're not sure that's your thing, you can take a course or a couple individual classes to figure out if it might be. A big kudos to the Emory Alumni Association for organizing this event and to Susan for kindly opening her studio to us. It was a fantastic and unique way to spend a Thursday.

After visiting the website, I called and spoke with Susan. She was extremely helpful and gave me lots of information. I chose the "Hands on Experience" for nine people. The process for payment and scheduling was very smooth and professional. Upon arriving, our team was greeted by the instructors, Lee and Jeremy. We were given safety tips and general information about glass blowing. Then we jumped right in. We had a blast! We each created a glass piece (paperweights and ornaments) and had a true "hands-on experience". I highly suggest this activity to large groups and small! For large groups I suggest keeping the pieces simple to allow time for your entire group to have a chance.
