FAQs
Do I need to make a reservation?
Reservations are highly recommended during summer high season, but not required. We welcome walk ins and will accommodate as space is available. A short wait gives the opportunity to enjoy a pot of tea in our Tea House and explore Port Gamble.
Can I reuse an old Dahlia Cove Studio candle jar?
Yes! We love to reduce, reuse, and recycle. To ensure the safety of our candles, your container must be cleaned with no cracks.
Once your cherished candle has finished its glow, and you're left with an empty vessel, here's how to give it new life:
Set your oven to a gentle 180°F.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Place the candle upside down on the sheet.
Slide it into the oven and let the wax melt for 10-15 minutes.
Take the sheet out and let the wax cool and harden.
Once cool, wipe the vessel's inside clean.
Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water to clean your vessel.
Use a butter knife to remove any leftover wick clip or sticker.
Remember, never pour wax down the sink; dispose of it properly.
Where should I park?
There is no designated parking for the shops and businesses in Port Gamble. Arrive early to find a spot along the main street or by the wedding pavillion.
When can I come in to pour a candle?
You can reserve a spot at our candle bar. We welcome walk-ins and will accommodate as space is open! A short wait gives the opportunity to enjoy a pot of tea from our Tea House or explore wonderful Port Gamble, our charming city filled with unique shops and goodies.
How long does it take to pour a candle?
The process of selecting scents, choosing a jar, and creating your custom-scented candle takes about 45 minutes. Candles then take at least 60-90 minutes to cool before they are ready to take home. This is a great time to explore historic Port Gamble. Whether you’re looking for dinner, drinks, or boutiques, Port Gamble has what you need!
If you don't mind picking up your candle another day, you can stop by anytime during regular business hours. There is no rush to pick up your finished candles — we will hold onto them for you! We will offer shipping for a standard flat rate through USPS for any out of town guests that are not able to transport their candle.
Is there an age restriction for the pour your own candle experience?
We do require children under the age of 12 to be accompanied by an adult due to the high temperature of candle wax.
What are your candles made of?
Our candles are made using a coconut-soy wax, with a minuscule amount of food grade paraffin for stability. Our pure fragrance oils and cotton wicks make for a delightful candle.
