Toni Goodyear reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Absolutely amazing course! Jo was an amazing teacher/host. We had my hen party at Jo's own home. A first for Jo of such a big group (9 in total, courses are normally 4-6). Which I must add was absolutely gorgeous!! Jo was so welcoming, bubbly, helpful, attentive, warm and friendly. Nothing was too much of a problem. The teas and coffees were continuously flowing, also provided with water, flavoured water and nibbles. The course its self was fun but very informative. We all left knowing there was a lot more to candles than we thought! There was so many beautiful scents to choose from! The products you made you took home. Which was amazing as there was so much and very good quality. Lunch was an amazing spread. Including a gorgeous cake Jo had gotten made for us. I couldn't sum up this course with enough amazing words. It truly was an amazing experience and day. We are already planning to come back soon as we loved it that much! Highly recommended without a doubt! Thanks so much Jo we all absolutely loved the course and you too!"

"Myself and my boyfriend spent a lovely afternoon with Jo. Being complete novices, Jo guided us through the candle making process. We came away with a selection of gorgeous smelling candles, melts and hangings. It was great fun - Mick decided he was going to mix up the scents and surprisingly they smelt fantastic. Jo also treated to a lovely lunch and copious amounts of tea and donuts too! We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend."

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! What a wonderful way to spend a day, Jo's workshop was amazing.... her products and knowledge are second to none. The whole experience was relaxed and an utter delight.... I left with a huge stash of candles that i had made under Jo's guidance that look and smell fantastic. I'm hooked on candle making now and would jump at the chance to attend any other workshops the white candle company hold in the future. Thank you Jo xxx"

"This was an excellent course! Jo is a wonderful teacher with a real infectious passion for her craft. Jo taught us that there is a lot more to candle making than sticking a bit of string in a blob of wax; this is more akin to chemistry and is highly involved. Did you know that that is more than one type and size of wick?!?! I can highly recommend this course, it was really good fun."

Charlotte reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Myself and my husband spent a lovely time with Jo. As complete novices, Jo very patiently guided us through the candle making process and we came away with a selection of gorgeous smelling candles, melts, tealights and hangings. It was so hard to choose from the selection available, but I went with rock salt and driftwood , jasmine and honeysuckle and, my favourite, sweet orange and chili pepper, while my melts were green tea and lemon grass. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend."

"A wonderful experience in a beautiful venue! Jo is so welcoming and friendly and I had great fun and came away delighted with my haul of gorgeous candles, melts and decorations. I met two lovely co-students too so that the whole event was perfect as it was like being with friends while learning something fun and maybe even commercial - who knows? I highly recommend this course."

Gillian reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I had a great day with Jo learning all the tips and tricks of the trade. I wanted to learn how to make candles so I could enjoy them at home. In the past, I had bought many different candles in beautiful bowls/glasses and wanted to learn how to refill them. My daughter and I had a great day and we both went home with lovely candles. Thank you Jo!"

Tiffany reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"We had a fantastic day with Jo, candle making extraordinaire! Our aim was to learn how to make candles for our jellewery business, we had tried learn on our own but couldn't get it. A day with Jo helped us iron out all of our questions and gain a huge array of knowledge. The course is great for people who want to learn for themselves or for a business. The best part is you get to take home a huge array of candles and goodies."

Marie Oliphant reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I had a 1-2-1 Workshop with Jo last week and it was the best Workshop I’ve ever attended (and I’ve done a few!) I made a large selection of candles, tealights, melts and Christmas hanging decorations. I was also able to choose a different fragrance for everything I made, so got to try fragrances I wouldn’t normally see in a shop. Jo is extremely helpful and knowledgeable and provided answers to all of my questions and I know she will happily help in the future. If you want an enjoyable treat for yourself or with some friends, you really couldn’t ask for a nicer day - even if all you want out of it is some beautiful smelling candles. Or, you can come away with knowledge to start a business (it purely depends what you are wanting from the experience). I cannot wait until I start practicing my new skills ? Thank you so much Jo xx"

Karen Grant reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"A really wonderful day in a beautiful, relaxing setting. Jo made me feel very welcome and pitched the course at just the right level. It was thoroughly enjoyable but very informative. I came away with the confidence to start making candles for myself or gifts but also with the information should I wish to start doing this as a business. Came away with a gorgeous selection of goodies so all in all really good value for money as well as a lovely day."

Gail reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Jo has an amazing warm and welcoming style. Not only does she make people feel very comfortable in trying new things but her expertise in candle making, with her practical tips, is excellent. I felt confident that I could go away and make my own but we did come away with lots of goodies. Jo kept us fed and watered throughout the session and her home was idyllic. Surprised she managed to get rid of us! Thanks again."

Barbara Millar reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Booked for a girlie weekend and had a fab time. Jo welcomed us into her beautiful home and we had a great few hours playing at 'making candles', with lunch included (lovely soup - Jo). And if that wasnt enough, we visited the local Farmers' Market in Lavenham the following day and bought some more candles from her. Great market, great producers - great recommendation Jo. When are we all going on holiday together?!!!!!"

Karen Steel reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Have recently been lucky enough to attend a candle making course with Jo and 2 girlfriends of mine - we had such a lovely time - Jo was immediately so warm, welcoming and friendly - we felt we had known her for years. Candle making is very therapeutic, room is full of beautiful smells and while we ate Jo's home made soup you can look out over her garden and into the fields to watch the beautiful highland cattle in the next field - wonderful day. I would highly recommend this course to anyone."

Hayley reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"What a brilliant day! I wanted a day for me, after having my son and this totally beat any kind of pamper day! I had great fun while learning something new! Jo is a great teacher and immediately makes you feel at ease and comfortable. I was really impressed with the amount of stuff we brought away from the course and getting to smell all the fragrances was a real treat!"

Clare reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"My Mum and I had a brilliant day with Jo. We immediately felt welcomed and relaxed as Jo is so friendly, and we learnt so much! We came away having made an amazing set of candles, and we feel inspired to give it a go at home ourselves since Jo was such a good teacher. Thank you so much for our experience!"

"What a fabulous way to spend a morning, with a fabulous teacher, beautiful location and great company. All finished off with a delicious lunch. Thank you Jo for a very informative and inspiring workshop this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and can’t wait to get home and try making some candles for my friends."

"A lovely day- highly achievable goals and beautiful things to take home, making this course excellent value for money- I must have come home with getting on for £40 worth of candles. Topped off with a simple, tasty lunch. Highly recommend."

Deborah McEwen davies reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Where do I start. I have had an amazing day making candles, plus a goody bag of candles that I made. When you see or hear the word “course” you imagine a classroom setting. This could not be further from the truth. Jo welcomes you into her home (which is fab, oh and that view) and immediately you feel at ease. Along with her home she is welcoming, friendly and chatty.The environment is laid back and relaxed. Jo shares her wealth of knowledge with you and gives you information on products you will need and where to get them. I would recommend this course to anyone that wants to make their own candles. Thanks Jo for a fab day."

Karen Luke reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Wow! What a day.......fantastic. I felt totally at ease in Jo’s home and was made to feel very welcome. Jo was a fantastic teacher who certainly didn’t mind being asked lots of questions. I achieved so much in such a short space of time and all my candles were professionally wrapped to take home. Would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in candles! Thankyou Jo"

Emma Davidson reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business
