  • 5/5 from Abby Loggins, attended Jan 2026: Marina was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. Her place is really lovely a d she offers tea and snacks before starting. I feel like I left knowing a lot more about candles, scents, essential oils and what to look for when buying or making candles that are ethical/vegan. All of Marina's products (Fais Botanicals) are thoughtfully made and smell amazing. We left with lovely personalized candles. I would definitely recommend this class to a friend and would love to return to another workshop one day! Thank you, Marina!
  • 5/5 from Nikolaus Muldal, attended Nov 2025: I booked this class as a birthday present for my girlfriend whose recently got into making candles at home. We had a lovely time with Marina in this class! It was a nice, relaxed atmosphere and Marina talked us through every step of the way. We went away with two candles of our own creation, a great memory of making these together, and my girlfriend learned several new tips on how to make the best scented candles! We enjoyed meeting Marina’s lovely cat too

  • 5/5 from Tjiye Linton, attended Aug 2025: Warmly welcomed, by our host, Marina, with a cool drink or a lovely cup of herbal tea!!! Our table was prepared with all the utensils we would need for our lesson. After introducing ourselves, Marine proceeded to inform us of the intricacies of candle making. Thorough information on, wicks, fragrances, essential oils and the different waxes. temperature etc. So much information in such a short time. Marina then helped us with the 'Notes', top, middle and bottom, and explained each section perfectly. The smells were beautiful. After making our candles, so so proud, we were given a tour of her work studio and her products, together with a little history of her business. We learnt that candle making is not just melt and pour, a little science is needed. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Definitely a must for all new candle makers. Thankj you Marina.

She created a welcoming environment that made learning both fun and fulfilling.
