Big Sphere Candle Experience

Big Sphere Candle Experience

An extra-large sphere candle. Take your time and express a world of color that is entirely your own.

The Sphere Candle (Big) uses a larger mold than the regular Sphere Candle and is the largest piece on the iepoyo candle menu. The greater surface holds more layers, so you can build finer steps in the gradient. The finished candle is too large to fit in your palm and has real presence on display. It suits anyone who wants to spend the full 90 minutes on a single piece.

Big Sphere Candle Experience: Step by Step (About 90 min in total)

  1. Decide the theme and colorsAbout 20 min

    The larger the piece, the more the color plan shapes the result. Settling on a theme first, such as the Miyakojima sea and sunset or the night sky and stars, and then choosing colors to match gives a cohesive piece. Take your time and build it up with our staff.

  2. Make the base layerAbout 15 min

    Pour the first layer into the extra-large mold. With more wax it takes longer to set, which makes it easier to blend the boundaries between layers smoothly.

  3. Build up the layersAbout 35 min

    The heart of the experience. Because you can stack more layers than in the regular sphere, you have more room to express yourself: finely graded colors for a natural gradient, or gold leaf and glitter (option, JPY 500) sealed between the layers.

  4. Remove from the mold and finishAbout 20 min

    Once set, the candle comes out of the mold and the surface is smoothed into a clean sphere. With the larger size, the wick position is adjusted with extra care.

What Makes the Big Sphere Candle Special

  • Extra-large size with real presence, the centerpiece wherever you display it

  • More layers mean a finer, more detailed gradient

  • A size where gold leaf and glitter sealed between the layers really shine

  • The largest of the four menus, with real presence on display

Recommended For

  • Anyone who wants to spend the full 90 minutes on a single piece
  • Anyone marking an anniversary or birthday
  • Anyone who wants to take one home as a gift
  • Anyone who wants a large piece with presence

Big Sphere Candle Experience FAQ

Q. How big is the Sphere Candle (Big)?
A. It is an extra-large size, a step up from the regular Sphere Candle (JPY 3,500). Because it holds more layers, you can express the gradient in finer detail. We will show you the actual size in the studio on the day.
Q. Does the larger size mean a longer session?
A. No. It takes about 90 minutes, the same as the other menus. The larger size means each layer covers more area, so you can build finer color steps in the same amount of time.
Q. Can I add gold leaf or glitter to the Sphere Candle (Big)?
A. Yes. The gold leaf & glitter set (JPY 500) is available as an option. With its larger surface, the way light catches when they are scattered between the layers looks different, opening up more ways to express yourself.
