Homegirls & Hobbies: sip + pour CANDLE MAKING
Reserve your space here, seats are limited
An intimate candle-making experience where scent, memory, and atmosphere come together.
Hosted at Archive CLT, Sip & Pour Social invites you to slow down and indulge in a sensory ritual sipping your favorite coffee or matcha while creating a custom candle of your choice.
Guided by Fairie + Co., this experience goes beyond pouring. Through a curated playlist and thoughtful conversation, we explore how fragrance connects us to moments, memories, and moods, awakening the senses and grounding us in the present.
Each guest leaves with a hand-poured candle, a softened spirit, and a deeper connection to the power of scent.

Kaldi's X Archive CLT after dark
This February, Kaldi’s Coffeehouse & Roastery teams up with Archive CLT to bring you the second installment of After Dark — an intimate evening dedicated to love, memory, and connection.
Explore a curated collection of ephemera, love letters, and photographs, then take a moment to write your own—whether to a loved one, yourself, or the quiet moments that carry you through.
Sip on Kaldi’s signature Red Velvet After Dark Latte, crafted with house-made red velvet sauce and specialty roasted coffee, alongside other soulful drinks like Hot Chocolate After Dark, Rose Matcha After Dark, and the rich Mocha Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew After Dark (all crafted with house-made sauces and Kaldi’s own specialty roasted coffee beans).
In a candlelit setting, experience a night of reflection where coffee, storytelling, and community come together. This isn’t just an event — it’s a shared ritual, a living archive of love.
