"Could there be any better place to learn about candlemaking than in the luxury of Jo's home, a beautiful converted barn in Suffolk, which overlooks a field of intriguing Highland cattle (which are mirrored in some the internal decorations in her home). Always a genuine very warm welcome received here for everyone and our day began with a cup of wonderful latte as Jo explained what we would be doing today. All the equipment is provided and Jo takes care that we understand each step of the process. Being very biased here, the candles are far superior to anything you can buy and being able to make them ourselves was truly a magical experience. The goodie bag we took home was wonderful with a kilner jar full of nightlights, 3 different sizes of candles, plus ones for the burner and some lovely heart shape wax decorations filled with a variety of dried flowers, fruits and seeds. Although we learnt a great deal, we also had a laughter filled day which included some wonderful home made vegetable soup with fresh crusty bread and butter.
With the sun setting brilliant red on the hazy horizon as we left, the aromas of the various oils we used perfumed my car all the way home and are now filling various rooms in my house.
I would highly recommend Jo and her classes in her truly wonderful home and it it can't fail to entice you into making your own."
