I have been holding regular candle making workshops in St Albans and Berkhamsted since 2018 alongside private events and one-to-one sessions throughout Hertfordshire. The workshops are fun and much more than than just making candles - new people to meet, maybe seeing a different part of the county and a relaxing time focusing solely on candle making for a morning. You may even find yourself as passionate about candles as I am! NB I reply privately to each person who leaves a review and this is not seen on the website.

"Loved the course & Anne was a great tutor who gave us lots of information. I had no idea about the techniques of candle making & once you have this information ( from an expert) this is something anyone can do at home. I'm really smitten by the candle making bug. We made 4 different candles & melts all with our chosen Christmas scents. Thank you Anne"

"Attended the Christmas workshop today and had a lovely morning making Christmas Candles and Wax melts with Anne. A lovely selection of scents, colours and shapes of candles and containers. This was my second workshop I’ve attended (my first one was in the summer) and no doubt we shall return again. Highly recommend. Thank you 😊 "

"Fantastic beginner's candle making session with Anne. She was informative and patient whilst I asked lots of questions. I really liked the size of the class too, small enough to be intimate but big enough to see what everyone else is doing and learning from all the variables from the rest of the group. "

"A lovely morning spent with Anne learning about the whole candle making process from the types of waxes to use, choice of containers and choosing your fragrances. There is nothing better than hand pouring your own candles and bringing home your creations. A very fun and therapeutic experience in a small group setting. "

"My daughter and I would highly recommend this course. It was well organised and we learnt a lot. It was a lovely way to spend a morning doing something mindful and craft based. It was a really friendly atmosphere and biscuits were also kindly provided! We made three candles and a wax melt and learnt about how to scent and colour them. Overall good value for money. Would definitely book again. "
