Maxine reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"Very informative but fun course. I attended it with my daughter and it suited both of us. We feel fully equipped to make beautiful candles for ourselves and for friends and family. I would recommend this course whole heartedly. "

Emma S reviewed: One to One Candle Making Business One Day Course (Bexley -London)

"I have just had a one-on-one day course with Paula learning candlemaking and a guide to setting up your own business. I felt the course was very informative. Paula answered all the questions I had and was very thorough. The booklet she gave is very good to refer back to. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. Thank you so much for a wonderful day!"

Toni King reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"What a fabulous day. Paula is so knowledgeable and is open to sharing thoughts and experiences. I went with my teenage daughter, who learnt so much and enjoyed the experience of actually doing the processes. I cannot recommend this course enough, you will not be disappointed. Recommend you bring a pen to make notes. "
