The candle-making workshop is the studio's signature experience. You'll choose your fragrance, learn the craft from Michelle, and pour a candle you actually want to burn at home. Classes are small by design, which means real instruction, real conversation, and a finished product you're proud of. It's a popular pick for birthday outings, girls' trips, bachelorette parties, and anyone who wants a Saturday afternoon that's more interesting than brunch.
Beyond the classes, the shop floor is stocked with hand-poured candles, locally sourced gifts, and seasonal finds that rotate throughout the year. It's the kind of place where you come in for one thing and leave with three, including the perfect gift for someone you've been stumped on for weeks.
17&Orchard is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to six on Thursdays and noon to five Friday through Sunday, making it an easy stop on a Hudson Valley weekend. Check the website for upcoming class dates, as spots fill quickly.
