Had a great time on the Christmas candle making workshop. Brilliant selection of materials and clear instruction from Charlie. Lovely creative environment and good value for money.

Kerrie Blennerhassett - 19 December 2021

This was such a lovely Xmas themed workshop. I learnt so much about making candles. The girls (13 years old) loved it too. The supplies to decorate our candles and pots were excellent. I loved my heart theme and my daughter loved her mushroom themed copper container candle. The studio location is beautiful and idyllic. The refreshment options were good and the girls loved the hot chocolate with marshmallows. I would definitely do it again. Thanks 🙏 so much for running this Charlie.
