The content was great and we learned as much as sarah could teach us! We made both a pillar candle and container candles as well as trying out colours and fragrances. Brilliant.

It was a nice, small group, different ages and Sarah explained how she started, then everyone shared their story and how they would see themselves using these skills which made it more personal!
Friendly and informative delivery of the course, we were all experimenting with the products and it was fun creating our own candles. I would suggest having a notepad or a mini demonstration video as well to show how different candles/ shapes can be made as a review

The class was a great introduction to candle-making, especially for someone who has never even tried it before. Sarah was very knowledgeable and taught us about various methods, quantities of wax and fragrance to use, etc. It was a well-rounded class and I left feeling inspired to follow in her footsteps and make candles at home!

Sarah is very knowledgeable and thoughtful sharing her experience and tips. You can sense her passion for making candles. The class format was also designed very effectively to learn a variety of techniques, truly enjoyable!

We learnt how to pour candles, use colour and scent and made more candles than I expected! The teacher was passionate, friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. I enjoyed the class a lot.

A fun way to spend a few hours learning a new skill. Sarah's class was excellent: lots of hands on experience as well as the theory and history of candle making. The class was very relaxed and friendly and we all came away with some very professional looking candles. Sarah gave us loads of tips and followed up by sending us further ideas and lists of stockists. I would thoroughly recommended her class .

The class was excellent. The content and facilities were top class. We learned a number of different techniques and went home with lots of different candles. The tutor was extremely knowledgeable and very generous with her knowledge, happy to answer any questions and passionate that we should continue candle making afterwards. I would highly recommend.

Sarah very friendly & she made learning how to make candles easy even for a complete beginner like me. Sarah provided everything you need to make the candles & I left with eight candles

The workshop was very insightful and covered all the basics for a number of different types of candle making. The instructor was friendly, funny and very knowledgable, and happy to answer any questions. There was absolutely no stinginess about supplies either! You’ll walk away with a bunch of candles and extra tea lights

I really enjoyed the candle making workshop! Sarah was an amazing teacher and also very good at giving all the information not just during the class but afterwards with the follow up so didn’t have to feel like you had to take notes, could just enjoy the class and take it all in. I now feel confident in experimenting with candles myself, but also know that if I come across any problems or questions in my experiments I could still ask Sarah questions and advice. I would highly recommend this workshop!

Sarah's easy to follow, stepped approached, meant I came away confident I would be able to try this at home. Very enjoyable class in a good location.

I really enjoyed this workshop and I can't wait to make my own candles. Sarah is very knowledgeable and the workshop is very complete and interesting, and each participant gets to take a few different types of candles home.

Never made a candle before. This course was perfect as did not have a clue what to expect.
Sarah the Teacher was excellent. She put everyone at ease and explained all the different processes and materials for candle making really well. She gave us all the information we needed to make different types of candles and answered any questions we had no matter how trivial.
Very good course will certainly recommend.

Excellent. Sarah is a really good teacher, she had all the equipment and it was a well run class.
We came away with some lovely candles and I thought it was excellent value for money and would recommend this class to others wanting to try candle making.

Sarah was very professional and we got to learn and practice a lot on the three hours. I have done several candle making workshop and this one was the best. She also thought about how we bring or self made candles home. Highly recommend this course

I had a great time throughout the duration of the course, Sarah was very experienced and gave us all of the information that we needed to make our own candles. We learnt about all of the different candle wax’s, different styles, scents, moulds and what each of them does.
We made a variety of different candles and had a choice of what we could make; everything was explained really clearly and there was always help nearby.
Sarah provided lots of information afterwards should we want to continue making them or even start selling.
Excellent day.

I received my place on the course as a gift and am delighted that I went - the workshop was really fun and friendly and I learned lots. Sarah was a really good instructor and everything was very well organised especially given the room was a fairly small space. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to find out what candle-making is about.
