Heuan Artisan Candles - Workshop Luangprabang

We had the pleasure of meeting Gai and enjoying a delicious cup of tea. Whilst we weren't able to take the candle making workshop we've loved the candle we purchased. Gai is an excellent communicator, widely travelled and is very knowledgeable about art, tea and scents.

I definitely recommend you this 2 hours workshop. Such a pleasant experience in learning about the scent, scent associations and the process. From the little course and exercice around the creation of your very own candle to the finish product, i am so pleased with my candle and the guided experience by Mrs Gai. Who’s made the plus during that experience.

I enjoyed my candle making class & Laos tea with the charming Mr. Lee! There were many oils to choose from so I could create a unique fragrance which will remind me of Laos' dense jungles, beautiful elephants, cool, dewy mornings, and balmy summer nights. The location of this shop is in a sort of artists circle as the shop next door made paper. Be sure to cross the Old French Bridge to get here! Candle making was both fun and easy under the instructor's care. I feel inspired to make my own candles when I go back home!

Gai’s candle-making workshop was fantastic. The setup was meticulous and thoughtful from start to finish. We learned about the science behind creating scents and then crafted our own based on mood boards she helped us develop. While the candles dried, we enjoyed learning how to make traditional Laos tea, which was delicious. The hand-drawn cards and handmade packaging for the candles were a wonderful touch. I highly recommend this experience—it's a must-do in Luang Prabang.

I had the most amazing experience doing Gai’s candle making workshop. It lasted about 2 hours and I had so much guidance in choosing my customized scent. Gai is so kind and funny and you can tell she puts her customers first and cares about creating meaningful connections with them. The tea making was such a lovely bonus as part of the workshop. So glad I was able to sign up for her class and recommend everyone to go when in Luang Prabang! I am very pleased with everything from this workshop.

This was an absolutely amazing experience and I can only recommend it! My friend and I did the scent candle making workshop with Lee. He was so kind and explained every step in detail. When the candles were drying we got to make our own tea mixture and had lovely chats with him. If I could I would give this experience a 11/10.

I was looking for a quiet activity for my daughter of 5 and I. The candles workshop of Gai was perfect ! Gai is a very welcoming person, she likes what she is doing and she likes sharing it. She was patient with my daughter, even play with her waiting for the candles to dry. We shared a cup of tea with sweet rice cakes and good talk. Really intersting workshop, and the candles smell amazing 😊 Thanks again Gai!!

We had an amazing morning with Gai. She showed us how to make our own scented candles. We were able to create a fragrance for the candle based on our own mood and preferences. Beside the crafty morning we had an interesting chat about Lao culture and traditions. Thanks again Gai, we had an amazing time! 🫶
