By the end of the class, you'll have gained the confidence to work with wax and botanicals, walking away with a stunning, hand-poured keepsake that's beautifully packaged and ready to display.

Really enjoyed this workshop from the moment we arrived. The space was welcoming, everything was prepared nicely, and the instructions were easy to follow. I loved the floral embossing part because it made the candle feel much more special than a standard candle class. The final result looked elegant and professionally made.

The finished candle looks so premium and the fragrance is lovely without being overpowering. It genuinely looks like something from a boutique home store.

I booked this with a friend and it turned out to be such a lovely afternoon. We could chat while working on our candles, and it felt creative without being difficult. A perfect catch-up activity.

Had such a wonderful time at this workshop. Everything was organised beautifully and the whole process was explained in a clear, easy way. I really enjoyed taking time with the floral embossing and choosing a scent that suited me. The final candle looked elegant, polished and far better than I expected.
