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.
Ioanna - 20 March 2020
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
Amy - 2 March 2020
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!

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 .
Angie Crockford - 4 February 2020
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.
Monica - 2 September 2019
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.

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.
Danielle - 7 May 2019
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.

Excellent workshop. The teacher was friendly and informative. Plenty of hands on time. Learned a lot!
Lesley and Montanna - 3 March 2019
Easy to access venue at Westminster college. Small group of people and just the right amount of time to learn the basics of candle making. I would recommenced this course to anyone who is thinking out making candles for pleasure. The only downside is that there is a follow up class but it is not in London.
Georgina Birch - 3 March 2019
I attended this class with a friend, we had lots of fun and left with some lovely candles. The pillar candle we made burns lovely like a stained glass lantern. The scented candle is being given as a birthday gift. Now I know why scented candles cost so much and I can now make them myself! Sarah the teacher was friendly and shared lots of knowledge. I’ve ordered some supplies to have a go at home, Sarah supplies information on where to buy the things you need. Can’t wait have the candle making bug.
Hanna - 3 March 2019
The best candle making course ever! It’s very easy to follow, Sarah was lovely and we made so many candles
Gemma - 10 December 2018
Sarah was a great teacher. She took us through a range of techniques, tips and tricks of candle making, and encouraged lots of questions. We made several different types of candles, much more than I expected!
Matt - 20 October 2018
Great instruction and took home some great candles. You can be a complete begginer and learn something new in just 2 hours. Class gives you a chance to be creative too! Recommend it.
Julia - 25 September 2018
Sarah is a great teacher, generous with loads of nifty tips and tricks, and very good at straightforward explanations of the more technical aspects. There was a good variety of materials to play with and we came away with a gratifying bag full of our creations. I thoroughly enjoyed this class!

My friend and I really enjoyed the candle making course, what a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It was a wonderful, relaxing few hours. Sarah is very knowledgeable and full of great tips, learning about all the different wax types and fragrances was really interesting. Highly recommended, thank you Sarah!
Eirian - 30 April 2018
This was a fabulous little workshop. We ended up making several different types of candle, including a fragranced one. Sarah is knowledgeable and gives great instruction throughout. Would definitely recommend for beginners to candle making - either as a crafting hobby or as a base for further learning.

I attended the course on Sunday 29 April 2018 and loved it. Sarah explained everything and her instructions were easy to follow. I have a learning disability and normally need assistance or need to be shown something more than once. Not on this course I got it straight away and didn't even need to mention that I may need additional help. I CANT NOT WAIT to get on further courses with Sarah.
Thanks you

Informative and fun. I am interested in selling candles and wanted to learn everything i needed to know. I thought the class did all of this and above, lovely teacher who kept it interesting, we learnt how to make so many different types which was great in the time we had to do so. Also loved that we got a booklet afterwards. great venue with good location

Sarah was great. Very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. We made a range of candles and I definitely have the bug now. I am officially obsessed with candles now and can't wait to work on making more at home!
