Steph reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"I had an amazing experience at the Candle making course with Paula and the rest of the group! It was a very inviting atmosphere created by a fabulous and warm host, who paid great attention to detail. I learnt so much compared to another course I have previously undertaken and am sure this is exactly what I need to kick-start my candle making business! The course was worth every penny and I'll definitely be back for some of her others! Only regret is not getting the recipe for the divine afternoon tea!"

"Paula is an excellent host and teacher. I learnt so much and had such fun. She made the day interesting and fun. I learnt a lot about soap making and I came away with lots of information and the 9 soaps that I made on the day that I can leave to cure for the next 8 weeks. I am looking forward to trying them.

I recommend this course to anyone looking to make soaps for fun, for friends/family or even for a business! Thank you Paula ?"

Jacqui Bishop reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"A highly recommend course & a super day. Paula shares her expert knowledge in a calming, very friendly atmosphere, with step by step support throughout. We were given a pack containing concise information about the whole process of soap making, which includes all the legal aspects of selling soaps, websites to get us started on our own processes. A delicious homemade afternoon tea was most welcome while we waited for our soaps to set. An altogether first class experience. Thank you Paula for a lovely day."

Sharon reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"I never imagined that candle making could be so exciting and challenging, the course is full of information and helpful tips. Paula is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the whole process of creating the candles. I was very pleased with the end product which smelt lovely when I lit it. I'd definitely recommend this course and the candles as a product."

Laura Pollington reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"I booked this course as a birthday treat for my mum, as she loves hand made soaps. The course far exceeded our expectations. Paula welcomed us into her beautiful home and gave us a very informative and practical introduction to soap making. We then moved onto the practical section of the course. This was great fun, and we particularly enjoyed choosing which oils to fragrance our soaps with. We were then treated to a delicious afternoon tea, before leaving with our big box of fabulous soaps. Despite being a complete novice I now feel confident to have a go at making more soaps at home. I would thoroughly recommend this course. Thank you Paula."

Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. responded:

"Thank you Laura. I very much enjoyed teaching your lovely family!"

Margaret Fasanya reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"This is the most enjoyable craft course I have ever been. Paula was so attentive, knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome in her beautiful home. I was the most talkative of the bunch as I was on the course purposely to extend my range of 100% Natural Skin care products. Surprisingly she was very patient with me as I was asking her loads of question. We did overrun on the course, but Paula didn't mind and we had a wonderful afternoon together, swapping with each other our beautiful soap creation. I will highly recommend this course both for practicality, knowledge and warm atmosphere and spending afternoon with our beautiful, knowledgeable host. Well done Paula (Although I was calling you Pauline throughout the day, but you didn't mind)."

Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. responded:

"Hi Margaret, thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you all the best for your business, you have great enthusiasm, I loved your products. Paula"

Emine Tahir reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"My husband and I had a fabulous time with Paula on her soap making course. Nothing was too much trouble! She coped affably and patiently with all our enthusiastic questions and has definitely sparked an interest in a new skill for us. She gave us the confidence and extensive information for us to carry on soap making at home. I would thoroughly recommend this course and look forward to also attending her candle making course. The lovely tea was a pleasurable bonus."

Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. responded:

"Hi Emine, it was such a pleasure to have you here. When I retire I’d like to do the same as you and Ibrahim and enjoy learning new skills together. I look forward to seeing you next year and make candles. Paula"

"If you are serious about candle making look no further, what an experience. I arrived with no knowledge or experience on candle making and came out with a wealth of information and very confident I can make my own candles and start my little candle business. I would recommend this course 100%. The afternoon tea we enjoyed at the end was better than most afternoon teas I have tried in London!"
