  • 5/5 from Leon Bradley, attended Feb 2023: Amazing class. Really fun and informative. Great end product and ability to make your own after
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Fairhead, attended Feb 2023: Warm welcome, nice surroundings, I liked having a voucher to get a drink, teacher was lovely and I loved my final product. My only suggestion is that you make it easier for everyone to access the full oil collection rather than have to lean over another table to get them. A revolving thing with the oils on so we could see them all or have a list so we know what there is to choose from. That's the only thing I felt I missed, however it was a lovely class. Will you send the list on with suppliers soon?, as Id like to order some stuff ASAP. Many thanks and hopefully see you again. X
  • 5/5 from Debbie Edwards, attended Sep 2022: I really enjoyed the candle making course with Lucy. Very informative and excellent quality products used to make my own candle. I came away feeling very confident to start making my own.
  • 5/5 from Tayla Xavier, attended Mar 2022: This class was very interactive interesting and very informative in a fun way. The teacher was lovely every clear and a joy to be taught by.
