Nadia Gower reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online videos + live online workshop

"A really brilliant course. It was given to me as a Christmas present and what a fantastic experience! The kit was very well packed and included everything needed for the session. Sarah was very friendly, her explanations clear, her subject knowledge impressive. We all made a pillar candle, a container candle and rolled three candles with beeswax sheets, so felt a great sense of achievement. We had a homework assignment- to make some tea lights, which I did the following morning. Now I’m really looking forward to continue with my newfound hobby and make some gifts for my family and friends. Thank you Sarah."

Amanda chalmers reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online video

"I done this course with Sarah and a few other ladies which was great . Sarah made sure we were all sorted with our things and gave explanations into everything. Sarah takes her time telling you instructions and waits until we're all fully aware of what we're doing. Will defo be recommending Sarah thanks again and i hope we can all keep in touch. My 12 year old daughter wants to do it as well so it would be great to do it together."

"Fantastic course. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to start making some candles at home and see how I go. Sarah was a brilliant teacher and good fun.

Diana Abernethy reviewed: Christmas Beginners candle making workshop - Marlow, Buckinghamshire

"I cannot recommend this course highly enough! Sarah really made this a very enjoyable and informative session and I am now very keen to go onto her Intermediate course. If you are concerned about keeping social distancing etc, it was laid out to a very high standard - there were clear divisions between groups/face masks/visors and loads of hand gel etc. Course was followed up with an email with all the information you need to continue at home and there is continued support if you need it. Thank you Sarah"

Candle by Events responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review, look forward to seeing you at the intermediate workshop :)"

Mike Manisty reviewed: Christmas Beginners candle making workshop - Marlow, Buckinghamshire

"Very professional approach. Steps clearly explained and workshop environment enabled learning by doing! Workshop well re-engineered to be COVID friendly. Close to 3 hours, which was just right for a beginners course. Good supporting material and follow-up advice."

"Mike, thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed the workshop"

Linda reviewed: Christmas Beginners candle making workshop - Marlow, Buckinghamshire

"Thoroughly enjoyed this class with my daughter. Sarah had made it a thoroughly safe environment to work in given current covid climate. There was a nice welcome and a nice cup of tea offered. She explained all the stages very well enabling us to create tea lights, pillar candle, floating candles and a tinned candle. She introduced us to adding colour and perfume. I will certainly take home my new knowledge to make candles at home. Thanks Sarah x"

Dave reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online videos + live online workshop

"I had my reservations about signing up for an online craft workshop, but these were soon forgotten once the course started. Sarah's passion for candlemaking is obvious and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I was particularly inspired by Sarah's suggestions on different containers that could be used for candles and a number of bottle tops and other objects have now been upcycled and given a new lease of life."

Candle by Events responded:

"Thank you Dave, really pleased you enjoyed the workshop."

Suzie Cheong reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online videos + live online workshop

"I took part in a zoom workshop run by Sarah. She conducted the workshop very professionally. She was also very knowledgable in candle making. Her kit had everything in it and everything was packed well and the wax was all weighted into packages. She guided us step by step how to make each type of candle and gave us some very insightful knowledge on how to pick the right type of wick and how much wax and fragrance to use, and the various types of dye. I had a very enjoyable time learning how to make candles and I would recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to learn a new skill. She is also very helpful and answers question even after the workshop is over. She does not leave you high and dry to figure out things on your own after the workshop. I am happy to have met her as she has been very helpful in my pursuit to learn the skills of candle making."

Candle by Events responded:

"Hi Suzie, thank you for your kind words, really pleased you enjoyed the workshop."

Sasha reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online videos + live online workshop

"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 that you can show off to your friends, you get to learn a fun new skill! - oh and the snapdragon fragrance is AMAZING! Vey pleased with my candles and I'll definitely be making more in future!"

Candle by Events responded:

"So pleased you enjoyed the kit and you found the step by step guide easy to follow :)"

Victoria Stanton reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online videos + live online workshop

"Myself and my mum had booked on to a candle course but due to the current pandemic it was obviously cancelled. We took the offer of transferring to this online course and we are so happy we did. We are officially hooked on candle making. The kit comes with all the bits you need and what isn’t in the kit is found around your home for example a measuring jug. A complete printed guide is accompanied by 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 in to this craft. Thank you Sarah."

Candle by Events responded:

"So glad you enjoyed the online workshop and you have discovered a new hobby :)"

Gill reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online video

"Joined the on-line course 2 weeks ago which was great. Everything arrived perfectly packed prior to the class, and as a complete beginner to candle making I was very excited. Sarah was great, very friendly and she definitely knows her stuff and how to pass on her knowledge to her pupils. We made 3 different types of candles - container, pillar and rolled beeswax and I was so pleased that they all turned out so well. I have already bought more supplies and am experimenting with different wicks, colours, fragrances and containers. Sarah’s Facebook group has also been really helpful and I’m looking forward to joining more online sessions. Thanks to Sarah I am now hooked on making my own candles."

Angie reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online video

"The kit was excellent and includes a nice variety - a pillar candle, a fragranced container candle and a rolled beeswax candle, so there are three different projects to learn. Dyes and fragrances are also included as well as a handy pan, for double boiling, and thermometer. Sarah is so generous with her knowledge. I've gone back to her to ask her many more questions since the class and she has always been very happy to help with where to get supplies and how to fix some of the problems I've encountered when experimenting with new candle ideas."

Kerina Hawes reviewed: Beginners candle making kit + online video

"Done the online course due to isolation events and am so glad I did. My world has been opened up to candle making! I’m new to it and want to eventually sell wax tarts. The course covers many variety of candles and the live workshop was fantastic - I felt like I was in the actual workshop with Sarah! I ordered the online candle making which included the kit (which was very generous and everything you need to get started and more). Sarah is thorough and patient, and I thought it’s great that she has Q&A after every section of the course completed. Can’t wait to do the advance course. Thank you Sarah ?"
