Create a custom candle, catch up with friends and BYOB!
WaxPoetry is a fun, creative + relaxing vibe. Choose from our collection of candle vessels, create a unique scent at our scent bar and pour a custom candle in our studio.
Once poured, your candle will set for 1.5 hours (standard candles) or 3 hours (large designer candles) before it's ready to take home.
While your candle sets, browse our studio and shop our collection or visit some of the local coffee shops, restaurants and attractions in the Downtown Portsmouth Historic District. You can even arrange to pick up your candle another day during business hours.
To book a private session for a group/event, book a Private Event. Our private events include a private section for your guests + the ability to customize your experience with food, drinks, decorations, etc.
