  • 5/5 from Addie Quansah, attended Dec 2025: Amazing class. We made beautiful Christmas candles and had the opportunity to personalise the labels which was really cool. The art’otel is absolutely beautiful and we took the opportunity to get cocktails before our class. Sari is really knowledgable about candles and was an amazing teacher! I was very pleased with my candle which is so nice that I will be gifting it. So I will have to come back to make another at another class. I am also thinking about doing a class for my birthday!

  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening learning about candle-making and coming home with a gorgeous, professional-grade candle in a lovely box.

  • 5/5 from Mondelle Williams, attended Jun 2024: I had an amazing time at the candlemaking workshop with Sari. The venue was aesthetically pleasing and the studio in which we worked was really nicely set up with paintings around the room from this month’s artist. Sari Was really helpful and shared some amazing tips for candle making. We left with our own candle, boxed and in a cute gift bag.
  • 5/5 from Jessica Houston, attended Jun 2024: Can’t rate this class highly enough, our teacher Sari was amazing and gave a full walk through of the process. Fun engaging and also learnt a lot.
  • 5/5 from Catherine Chatfield, attended Apr 2024: Really informative, relaxed and enjoyable time. Great product at the end which we could take away.
  • 5/5 from Harriet Johnson, attended Aug 2023: I recommend this class so much. My mum and I went this afternoon and it was brilliant. Sari is a great teacher and a lovely person to spend an afternoon with. When we arrived we had a station set up for each of us to get stuck right in. The scents she provides are all really nice. And all the materials we used to make the candles were really high quality. We took home a super high end candle each- in a lovely jar and a box. We can’t wait to light them Sari explained the whole process really clearly so it was so easy to make a candle that we know will burn evenly and have a good amount of scent throughout.
