Light Up Your Creativity: Wick & Pour Brings Candle-Making Magic to NYC

From a Simple Spark to a Citywide Glow

In a city overflowing with things to do, Wick & Pour carved out something different— a place where candles become more than décor. The studio launched with a simple idea: make candle-making social, fun, and accessible for everyone. Early community coverage tied the concept to the “ceramics studio craze” era, noting a pre-launch on the Rockaway peninsula led by Jessey (Jess) Wu and Steven Kanemori, who helped shape the brand’s community-first ethos.

Experiences That Connect People

At Wick & Pour, guests choose a vessel, blend fragrances, and pour a candle with guidance from an instructor. Workshops are beginner-friendly, open to ages seven and up, and run about two hours— just enough time to slow down and create something personal. Pricing is simple: $50 on weekdays, $60 on weekends.

The studios themselves are destinations. Jewel-toned flower walls, oversized windows, and cozy-modern interiors make the space as Instagram-ready as it is welcoming. Add in acoustic music nights or bites from local partners like Cuisine by Claudette, and a class becomes a full experience.

More Than a Studio, A Community

Wick & Pour’s programming spans daily workshops and private events, with capacity for groups and flexible scheduling. Their event pages emphasize beginner-friendly instruction and a welcoming atmosphere for celebrations and team building.

Historic coverage from the Rockaways also shows the brand’s roots in community-oriented pop-ups and collaborations— early events referenced local partners during the Wave Building pre-launch period, underscoring the studio’s “people first” DNA.

A Spark of Local Identity

The flagship at 167 Mott St places guests a short walk from SoHo and Little Italy, while West Village at 277 Bleecker St anchors the second studio in a classic neighborhood strip. Both locations are perfect for creating candles that match the mood— whether it’s a downtown night out or a cozy village escape.
