"Thanks Jo for sharing your knowledge with us ! Placed in a picturesque location, interesting, fun and really friendly. We were only a group of 3 so plenty of time to ask advice and chat. Came home with a bag of heavenly smelling candles and few extra bits I bought to try at home. Totally in love with Long Hot summer fragrance :) It's been a great experience and would highly recommend. Thanks for the inspiration Jo x"

"Thanks Jo for a fantastic workshop yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and couldn't believe we made so many beautiful items. The entire workshop was relaxed and it felt like I was having a morning with good friends even though all of us had only met that morning. Would definitely recommend taking the course. Thanks again Jo."

Charlotte reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Such a lovely day! The candle making day was a Christmas present... And we booked just for fun. Jo was very knowledgable and happy to share her expertise and experiences for those wanting to learn the business. I would thoroughly recommend the day to anyone who likes crafts. We made so many candles in all shapes and sizes, which will make good presents, although I'm keeping the 3 wick candle, it's so lovely! Lots of lovely scents to chose from. We were a small group, and I thoroughly enjoyed the day learning a new skill and chatting. We also had lunch, homemade soup which was delicious with bread and some great honey and almond cake, in the cafe downstairs. We were made to feel extremely welcome by Jo in the workshop and Rachel in the cafe. Thank you for a very enjoyable experience."

Pauline Morgan reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"What a great way to spend a cold winter's day! Jo was an excellent teacher and host. I had not realised that there was so much to learn about candles, let alone the process of making them. The time passed quickly and we all managed to produce some lovely candles and melts which were magically packaged while ate our lunch in the cafe downstairs. My family were equally impressed. Many thanks Jo, highly recommended!"

Michaela reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I thoroughly enjoyed my class today. Jo was extremely patient, helpful and made the lesson really interesting. Time flew by! I cannot wait to put into practice what I’ve learned today! Lunch was delicious....but that chocolate cake was out of this world! Delicious!"

Deborah Sage reviewed: An evening of candlemaking

"Jo is a wonderful tutor and lovely company. So easy to talk to and ask all those questions you need to ask without feeling silly. Covering the regulations side of things is so helpful, but did show me that actually so many people out there who are selling, don't abide by them (scary!) I thoroughly recommend this course if you are thinking of developing your own range as the advice is so helpful and Jo goes the extra mile to give you tips. Came away with some super gorgeous candles which in itself is worth the course price, and the lunch is lovely in the tearoom downstairs - what a lovely team and great day. Treat yourself as you won't regret it!"
