Description

Struggling to make candles that burn well consistently? So that you're confident selling or gifting to others? Choosing the correct wick to create the perfect melt pool and fragrance throw is easier said than done! As you'll know if you've already tried making candles yourself. 🙂 There are endless combinations of wicks, wax, dyes and fragrances - let alone types of candle. And there are thousands of Youtube videos out there telling you how to make the perfect one. These are often filmed by well-meaning amateurs, who want to share their knowledge, but often than not you can't reproduce their efforts and sometimes, much worse, their designs are actually dangerous! Learn to make candles like a chandler is a series of videos and support materials that takes you from beginner to a level where you can create candles easily yourself - candles you can sell with confidence or gift to friends and family. The videos and PDF book have been produced by Sarah Ditchfield, a professional candle-maker, who has taught thousands of budding candlemakers over the last fifteen years at her workshop in Marlow, Buckinghamshire as well as at venues in London. She's inspired people at all skill and interest levels - from those who simply love burning candles in their homes, to keen crafters and those, who have taken their skills to the next level by running their own successful candle-making businesses. The collection of videos you can download here are based on almost two decades of teaching in-person and online candle-making to individuals and organisations.
