Kaarslab

About Kaarslab

A neighbourhood candle lab — part shop, part workshop bench — opened in 2019 on Haarlemmerdijk.

Why we pour here

Kaarslab started as a weekend pour table and grew into a street-level studio. We keep the catalogue short on purpose: jars that burn evenly, workshops that stay small, and a counter where you can smell what is in stock before you buy.

The name blends kaars (candle) with the idea of a working lab — measured, tidy, and open to neighbours who want to learn the craft.

  • Independent studio, not a franchise
  • Materials chosen for clean burn and simple recycling
  • Workshops taught in English or Dutch
  • Walk-ins welcome during shop hours
