Jodie Pritchard reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"I thoroughly enjoyed the candle making session with Rob on Saturday. I was part of a group of 5 and throughout the morning had the opportunity to make 6 candles and some wax melts using a mix of techniques. Rob shared his knowledge and skills very generously, answering all our questions and both explaining and showing us the stages of candle making so we all felt confident in what we were doing. The session was great fun and definitely suitable for beginners. We hadn't got much experience as a group but all came home with 6 creations we were very proud of. Thanks Rob!"

The Wax Studio responded:

"Hi Jodie - thank you for the kind review. It was great to have you on the course! Best wishes"

Sam reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"So very glad I booked on this course. I learnt lots but most importantly enjoyed it very much. Not only that, but Rob made it so simple to achieve so much in a short time . Now I am sitting at home with some fabulous candles that I created! I highly recommend this course, if you are like me who did it on my own and felt really comfortable, or perfectly suited to coming with friends or family. I know what my friends and family will be getting as gifts from now on!!"

The Wax Studio responded:

"Hi Sam It was a pleasure to have you on the course - your enthusiasm was infectious! Hope your candle making at home goes well. All the best Rob"

"This was a really good introductory course - the venue was easy to find, with good parking; Robert gave us loads of information and help, happily answered any of our questions as well of plenty of 'hands on' time making some candles. We had a go at beeswax, container, pillar and dipped candles - using colour and fragrance. I've come away happy that I can experiment at home now with some confidence. Would recommend if you are thinking of making candles at home and want to know how to start."

"We booked a private candle making course for 4 to celebrate 2 family birthdays. We had an excellent time, Rob was friendly and knowledgeable. We left with 6 candles each, entirely tailored to our own preference, and enough knowledge to make all our own candles at home going forward. Highly recommended. Wrap up warm if you’re going in winter!"

Maria-José reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"My husband bought a session for my visiting sister and her 3 children as a present and we thoroughly enjoyed it! It was lovely to learn different candle-making techniques. The children loved to get to choose their own fragrances and colours and then take home the 5 candles they made. Rob was great with them and was able to explain things in an easy to understand way. Highly recommended."

Carol reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"I had a really good time on this course. Rob, the tutor was clearly a professional and gave us so much information about types of wax, wicks, moulds, dyes, scents and containers. I came away with 5 candles that I had made which were produced using different methods and using different waxes. There were only 6 students on the course which was the perfect number. I would encourage anyone to try this course. Excellent value for money, excellent tutor and he makes a good cup of tea!"
