You will take away from the workshop 3 candles that you have personally made. You will also have a file of information covering what you have learnt during the day.

We encourage everyone to take their candles home with them on the day, but they will need to be kept upright and safe on the journey home to make sure they set correctly. On hotter days, candles do take longer to set.

We offer a Half-Day beginner course on How to make Container Candles and to be able to make these candles safely at home. An emphasis is placed on how to make and use candles safely at home.

During late November and early December, we offer Christmas Candle Making Courses. In these courses, all the fragrances are inspired by Christmas, for example, Christmas Tree, Christmas Spice, Cranberry Orange an Cinnamon, Nutcracker, Gingerbread and more...

Your tutor is a retired Chartered Accountant who has over 25 years' experience of candle making, both as a hobby and as a professional candle maker.

The Tutor of this workshop makes all the candles, and reed diffusers for sale on this website.
