About Us
A welcoming creative academy dedicated to inspiring students of all ages.
CandleCraft Academy was founded with a simple belief — that creativity should be accessible to everyone. What began as a small group of pottery and knitting classes for high school students has grown into a thriving creative learning community.
Our academy is built on the values of patience, encouragement, and self-expression. Every class is designed to be welcoming, structured, and enjoyable — whether a student is picking up a craft for the very first time or looking to take their skills to the next level.
Meet Our Founders
The vision behind CandleCraft Academy.
Saun
Founder & CEO, CandleCraft Academy
Saun and Alice founded CandleCraft Academy out of a deep passion for creative education. Having spent years working in arts and education, Saun recognised a gap for a premium, welcoming space where students could explore hands-on crafts in a structured and supportive environment.
Today, Saun and Alice lead the academy with a focus on quality, community, and continued growth — ensuring every student feels inspired and supported from their very first class through to their most advanced projects.
