We all loved Paula.one of the best days ever.She is one of the most inspirational teachers I've ever met she was implicitly supportive intuitive caring funny and knew exactly what a  creating soap  party consists of with her expertise sense of humour and class act when it comes to throwing a soap school party as this is what it felt like like a real  soap party the day I had was certainly an INDELIBLE one .Rosa the fabulous chef made us gorgeous  lunch and we had   such nice desert and tea coffee biscuits catered for by the super warm hearted waitress/ chef Rosa I really enjoyed  this day more than i imagined .its so easy to get to from Victoria Station and a very easy walk from the station ....she has an exponential vibrancy of sunshine flowing into everything she does...you won't regret this soap making experience.......Razzle Dazzle with sprinkles on top I felt like I was zoomed off into some paradise in a dream ✨  high vibrations all round . i can honestly say it felt like an uplifting experience with some wonderful happy people  i met on my soap day experience and  of course beautiful  soap soap soap and more soap and extra delight  to take home from Paula @old bexley COME HERE to realise your dreams or simply to have Fun Fun Fun !!!!

This is my second course with Paula, and the service, quality of course, lesson planning, and product application is amazing. I booked onto the Natural Skincare Course and, with a much clearer, vision to creating lip balms, whipped body butters!  I love my products that I made and went home with.

It was such a breathe of fresh air, to get away from a busy life and just be creative mixing and blending natural oils

Each time I have vivisited the class was a fun and welcoming group of people. 
Thank you Rosa for the delightful afternoon herbal tea. and sandwiches

I completed the Natural Skincare Course with the sole intention of seeing what would be involved in making my own skincare products. I was also curious to see how these products would compare to the wide scale manufactured goods that you find in supermarkets and health stores. The fruits of our labour were some really gorgeous products, prepared with care and made from entirely natural ingredients. They smell wonderful and feel absolutely delightful on the skin! 

This course is perfect for those that are passionate about cosmetics that truly nurture your skin, as well as those that have sensitive skin who want to be more particular about what products they use.  Not to mention those of you who obsess over reading the labels on everything they buy! 

Paula as a host was warm, engaging and inclusive. The course was delivered seamlessly and we were cared for on every level. She really is a wealth of knowledge and you can see how passionate she is about sharing this with her course participants. 

I cannot thank the Old Bexley Soap and Candle Co enough for the experience and I simply cannot wait to get started making and potentially selling my own products! 

Graciete Pina

It was the most amazing day of learning I had in ages! Paula is an absolute Angel!
She's a great professional, very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, resourceful and friendly. I can't wait to go back to soap-making class. 
The atmosphere was great, the teaching was almost personal and gave us all great comfort.
And not to leave out Rosa, her assistant, an amazing woman! Both Paula and Rosa made us all feel welcomed and cared for. And yes, the lunch was great! :)
I'm great and would recommend the classes to anyone who wants to have something new to look forward to in life. 5 start!

Amber Bunn

I thoroughly enjoyed my day on the Natural Skincare Course where I got to make my own whipped body butter, a personalised facial oil and lip butters for myself and friends/family. Intimate, friendly setting where we were able to ask lots of questions, absorb Paula's knowledge and get hands-on! The refreshments provided were of great quality & selection. A really positive experience! Thank you :)

Pillar Candles & Concrete Creations Course with Afternoon Tea

Henrietta Okoya

Excellent class! Very practical and hands-on! Our teacher was very knowledgeable!  I enjoyed myself immensely and am very satisfied with the things I made, they turned out so professional!  This hobby is going to be a business!! I would definitely recommend this course and look forward to attending others!

Linda Francois

This was my 2nd course with Paula (pillar candles & concrete creations). I feel totally inspired to create everything we practiced. To me that’s the result of a great teacher. 

Making these creations in person meant we were able to problem solve in real time. It allowed us to focus on attention to detail, digest and put into practice the valuable instructions Paula shared. This was not the same when I did an online course somewhere else.

I left the course on a high, ordered as much as possible to start honing my skills. The deliveries are slowly arriving and I can’t wait to get started.

Thank you Paula

Bharti Nehra

Another excellent session with Paula. Great fun making pillar candles and concrete trays in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. She seems to make everything look so easy. Will be going back for more.

Theresa Lee

This was a fabulous workshop.  Paula is a great teacher who really loves her craft.  The atmosphere was calm, relaxing and very fragrant.

Had a great day soap making. Paula is very professional, warm and knowledgeable. The handout and information is really thorough and we feel very ready to try it on our own.  She's and her assistant were really approachable and accommodating. Everyone got plenty of support and attention. There were loads of ingredient choices to make our soaps and we are so excited to try our soap once it's cured. The afternoon tea was a really nice tough and gave us a chance to ask questions in a relaxed environment. Top notch course.

Esme  Vincent

Enjoyable day with a friendly and knowledgeable teacher.  Everything well set up and organised.  Made some lovely soap.  My only comment would be; if someone has stated vegan on their form, to ensure that vegan food options are available.  There was nothing clearly labelled and the scones were served with cream.  It felt like my preference had not been noted or considered.  Otherwise, a good day.

Debbie Butler

Really enjoyable course very informative just right amount of time, inspired me to order some soap making ingredients and get going at home

tejinder  virdhee

I attended the candle workshop with Paula and it was amazing, well organised and well explained. I had been on 2 other workshops  elsewhere as I wanted to learn candle making for business. This course was by far the best with instructions on where to source your supplies and what makes a good candle versus a bad candle.  The afternoon tea with home baked scones was just a lovely treat to the session. Thanks so much 💕

Emma McRae

An excellent class for all budding soap makers.
Paula is one of the best teachers I have come across and she extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of soap making and the beauty business.
She challenged me to create my own recipes instead of following the  trends and helped me to have a greater understanding of soap making as an art.

I highly recommend this course, as its not only very fun and informative but the cream tea after is delicious! 

This course is worth every penny and I will be coming back for more at some point. 

Florence Ngoma

Elisaveta Kaneva 

Another fabulous day at the Old Bexley Soap Co!
Thank you for a fun but hard working day! Thank yon for the lovely lunch and amazing home-made scones! Loved the soap making course! 

Christine De Ionno

This is the third of Paula’s wonderful workshops that I have attended; she takes a lot of care to create a great learning experience and is generous with her information, encouragement and support.  The soap-making process was a bit like baking and we were taught how to make and handle lye safely.  It was a real treat to be helped to mix aromatherapy oils to make the beautiful fragrances that went into our soaps and to have a range of botanicals with which to garnish them.  We all went home with 8 soaps which showed everyone’s creativity with the fragrance and appearance – it was a treat to see and smell everyone’s finished soaps.  This is a process which can be replicated at home as long as care is taken with making lye and waiting a good number of weeks for the soap to be used safely.

Daniel  Wright

I had a great time learning how to make soap and took home a set of delicious smelling and attractive looking soap bars. I now feel confident enough to make my own soap in future. I would highly recommend you this course to anyone looking to build experience or confidence. 

Sandy Ryan

Wow so impressed by Paula and The beginners soapmaking course. I loved every second. Paula is so thorough in her teaching, so friendly and approachable.

Paula thank you, Don't waste time thinking about whether to book yourself in, just do it, you won't regret it x

Nadiya  Tawfik

Wow what can I say, I had the most wonderful time at Paula’s soap making course.

Stephen  Radley

This is a really good introduction to soap making.  Paula explained the soap making process clearly and it was a really good fun making the soap.  There was was lot of choice to make whatever soap you liked and Paula and her colleague Rosa made sure you did things correctly and safely. Every thing was very well organised and Paula is a very engaging teacher. The afternoon tea ,sandwiches and scones were good too. I would definitely recommend this course .

Ali Findlay

To say I had a wonderful day is an understatement. It was marvellous. My excitement and desire for soap making was definitely satisfied and now I have the bug. As a science lover, I geeked out when the soap making process was explained by the lovely Paula. Paula made it so easy to understand and modelled the process like a pro. We then had the opportunity to make our own soap. I loved the fact that there were so many ingredients to choose from, we were really spoilt for choice. The session ended with a very delicious tea party with some of the most yummiest of sandwiches. It was indeed a beautiful day, spent with lovely people and have acquired a wealth of knowledge that I will definitely be using to change my life. Thank you Paula. 

Clare Cook

Fantastic class run by the brilliant Paula. A hands on session, with lots of tips and experience shared plus a lovely lunch provided.

patrick weber

I really had a fantastic day making soap for the first time. Paula is fantastic in explaining all processes involved. Thank you very much! 

Erica Fernando

An enjoyable day at a comfortable pace. The morning was theory followed by putting it into practise, then afternoon tea. The rest of the attendees were friendly and all made beautiful soaps. Paula was easy to talk to and informative. I chose to attend a course as I didn’t fancy experimenting with caustic soda at home, and am now confident I can handle and store it safely. Can’t wait to try my soaps once they’ve cured in 2 months! Then I will be making some more. Venue was great for me as I live locally.

Carla Elliot

I really enjoyed the beginners soap making course. I've been buying hand made soaps on my local farmers market for a while, but thought I'd like to try making them myself. Paula is a great teacher, she generously shares her knowledge and it's a very hands on course giving you the confidence to try it at home.  Her handouts are very comprehensive, and the afternoon tea was delicious!

Natasha Bramble

This course is incredible and covers everything you need to know about making cold process soap.  Paula is very generous with her skills and happy to share lots of information to help you make the best soaps possible.  As well as a great sandwich lunch with a creamy  scone, we came away with approx £80 worth of hand made soap.  I think this course is easily the best available and great value for money.

Laura  Fernández 

Paula is a passionate expert, very knowledgeable in the art of making soap. She could answer any question and offered advice and help to the different needs of the attendees. Paula is very friendly and generous with her time. She explained all the process step by step, informed us about the properties of the many essential oils, clays and the many different substances that she had available to make our personalised soap.  It was not only a very valuable training to start making my own soap at home but a really enjoyable day that included a lovely lunch. I will definitely try another workshop with Paula. 

Joan Wall

The beginners soap making day was a great event.
Although it is called a beginners course, it was aimed at both students who want to start a business as well as those there just for fun.
We learned the basic chemistry behind the soap making process as well as the practical skills needed to make bars of soap.  Each person left with six bars of soap, all of which were unique to the student, because the variety of colours and perfumes available to choose from was very varied.  There were nine students on the day that I attended and each was there for a different reason.  The way Laura led the class, each person was treated equally and all questions were answered regardless of whether they were asked by someone there just for fun, or someone thinking about a new career.
I really enjoyed my day and would highly recommend this course.
Tea, coffee and other drinks were readily available and the "Afternoon Tea" lunch was most enjoyable. 
Thank you Laura
