Aromatherapy Soy Candle with Crystal Workshop

The space was nice and the class a fun activity with friends. However the product we made wasn’t great. It had to be thrown away as the candle wick didn’t work and the wax didn’t seem to be decent enough

The Aromatherapy Soy Candle with Crystal Workshop was really good. Jen was a very good and informative tutor with lots of knowledge about the products we were using. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone.

The class was really well organised and fun! We learnt about different oils and guessed their smells. Although the group was large the teacher managed this well.

I went to the course quiet excited since i use candles in a variety of ways in my home. I was pleasantly surprised at the apparent intimacy when the studio was also the instructors home. Sadly this soon led to disappointment when the numbers attending the course became apparent. These numbers led to a lack of the artisan and friendly feel that Obby seems to trademark. The course over run which was ok, but there were long periods of just waiting also because of the numbers there was less knowledge passed on and lot more of a rushed feel. I don't feel i would partake in any other courses or recommend the courses to another because of this experience. Itis areal shame i had such high hopes...

The class is in a beautiful studio and was really fun. However I wouldn't say the workshop used Organic ingredients as the oils weren't organic. Also the flowers used aren't the same as the one in the pics.

Absolutely fun I loved it and definitely coming back, fun and inspiring

I attended the herbal soy candle making class and expected to learn the whole process and craft of candle making, from measuring and melting the wax to adding the right amount of fragrance, sticking the wick and safety precautions etc. I did not get to do this in this class. We got the chance to decorate our jar and choose which fragrance to use and then just poured the wax that was given to us. This was my first time learning how to make candles and thought I would leave with a whole lot of knowledge but the class ended over half an hour earlier than the duration stated on the listing and I felt really disappointed leaving the class. Having watched some YouTube videos on candle making, I had an idea of the process and looked forward to being hands on in learning the craft but the only practical thing I did in 1 hour was decorate the jar and pour the wax in. That is all! The wax had some lumps in, the wick was not secured to the jar and the essential oil was not blended in with the wax. When I got home, I found the wax of the candle separated so there was a gap between the inner circle around the wick and the rest of the wax. I also thought we would gain Information on where we can purchase supplies so we can practice at home but we just got told we can get it from the internet. Overall, I travelled over 1 hour to attend a 1 hour or so workshop, just to decorate a jar and pour wax which ended up separating in the jar. I definitely did not get my moneys' worth and hope the second workshop I booked on Obby will be more worth it.

I was very happy with the candles i made. However it did not take two hours we, there was four in the class, had finished after an hour and a half. Biggest negative though was the disgusting toilet!!!

The candle workshop was awesome. Joss took us through the steps of candle making and was really encouraging throughout. The atmosphere was super-relaxed and he also told us about other arts and craft classes they offer and the ins and outs of them. We'll be booking our next class soon!

Interesting course and lovely relaxing way to spend a few hours. Such a fan I've booked another 2 courses at the same place.

What a nice way to spend a couple of hours. Really enjoyed learning how to make the candles and doing something creative and different for a while. The Token Studio has a lovely atmosphere and great instructors. Thank you!

I loved the Soy Candle making workshop at Token Studio. The teacher was kind enough to run a one-on-one and I enjoyed the lesson as well as some great conversation! I learned multiple techniques and though my very first candle is a bit of an ugly (but beautifully fragrant) duckling, I now have the skills I need to improve and experiment in my own time. All in all I was very relaxed and felt inspired by the Studio to get crafty straight away.
