"I really enjoyed this introduction to making candles. The kit was posted out on time and was lovely with everything you needed for the online session as well as going forward with your own candle making. Sarah was very friendly and helpful… and you can get back in touch with any questions – she’s already shared lots of useful supplier information and tutorials." (Jessie).

"A really brilliant course… what a fantastic experience! The kit was well packed and included everything needed for the session. Sarah was very friendly, her explanations clear, her subject knowledge impressive. We made a pillar candle, a container, and rolled beeswax candles so felt a great sense of achievement… I’m looking forward to continue my new-found hobby making gifts for family and friends." (Nadia).

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Sarah is an excellent tutor… I learnt so much. It is informal and great fun… really worth doing whether to learn a new skill or start a business. Highly recommend." (Stephanie)

"I had reservations signing up for an online craft workshop, but these were soon forgotten once the course started. Sarah’s passion for candle making is obvious and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience." (Dave)

"I had a very enjoyable time learning how to make candles and would recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to learn a new skill. The kit had everything in it… the wax was all weighed in packages. Sarah also answers questions even after the workshop is over – she does not leave you high and dry to figure out things on your own. I am very happy to have met her as she has been very helpful in my pursuit to learn the skills of candle making." (Suzie).

"I absolutely loved making these candles! Such fun and the step-by-step guide was easy to follow and beautifully written! Not only do you get beautiful homemade candles you can show off to your friends, you get to learn a fun new skill! I’ll definitely be making more candles in future." (Sasha)

"We are officially hooked on candle making. The kit comes with all the bits you need. A complete printed guide accompanies the online videos which gave clear instruction on what we had to do. I cannot wait to try more and play with my new-found creative skill. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an intro into this craft." (Victoria)

"The kit was excellent and includes a nice variety of candles – a pillar, fragranced container and rolled beeswax. Dyes and fragrances are also included as well as a pan for double boiling. Sarah is generous with her knowledge. I’ve gone back to her to ask many more questions since the class and she has always been very happy to help where to get supplies and how to fix problems I’ve encountered when experimenting with new candle ideas." (Angie).
