    More about your Teacher Niamh McCarthy

    Niamh McCarthy

    Hi,
    I’m Niamh!

    Originally from Ireland, I now call the beautiful city of Lisbon home. I recently opened my candle studio in Graça, where I create and sell handcrafted soy wax candles.

    In addition to my studio and store, I love hosting candle-making workshops. These are calm, peaceful, and creative experiences where I aim to share the joy of making something beautiful by hand. My goal is for every participant to enjoy the process as much as I do.

    Before opening my studio, I worked in events and weddings, which sparked my love for hosting and all things creative. Bringing people together, sharing experiences, and helping them explore their creativity is at the heart of everything I do.

    I’d love to welcome you to my studio and share the magic of candle making!
