We went candlemaking with Jess and it was the most fun couple of hours we’ve ever had! Jess made it so easy to understand and helped us each step of the way. She was so friendly and honestly made the whole experience that much more memorable. The perfect mix of science, creativity and enjoyment! Such an easy class, everyone should do it!!

This was my first time at ArtPlay or doing candle making, the space was great and everyone was lovely. Aislinn our teacher was really friendly and informative and kept it low pressure to enjoy the experience. Left with 2 pretty and amazing smelling candles I haven’t had the heart to light yet!

So much fun! Our teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful. Having time to smell all the scents was super helpful and the decorating was fun too. The thing our group found the most challenging sas pairing scents together. We would have loved to have had an information sheet with all the scents grouped into categories such as floral, woody etc and then tips that suggest scents and categories that work well together. E.g. amber clove works well with woody scents. Overall a good class and I'd definitely come back again to try something else.

Class was fantastic! Was only the 3 of us and the teacher was brilliant- great laugh and chat throughout the class. Loved smelling all the scents and the candle making was really special - really delighted with the result and would definitely be back.
