  • 5/5 from Dawn, attended Sep 2026: My mum and I attended a candle ️ making workshop session with Becca Olsten candles in Robertsbridge while we were on holiday in Rye, and it was such a highlight of our trip! We had the best time — we enjoyed it so much we completely forgot to take any photos, we were that absorbed in the moment! Becca was lovely friendly teacher who provided information and instructions throughout. There was an informative discussion and time to smell lots of scents before making our choosen selection. We made a lovely selection of candle products,: our own beautiful candles, tea lights and deli pots — all turned out perfectly and we’re so proud to have made them and our chosen scents smell beautiful. Becca gave such a clear, thorough overview and walked us through every step with really helpful, easy-to-follow instructions — she made everything feel so simple and fun. There was an amazing range of gorgeous scents to choose from too, something for everyone! Listed as 1.5 hours but the time absolutely flew by — we were there nearly 2 hours in the end, and it felt just right, no rushing at all. Such a warm, relaxed and welcoming session. We’d both highly recommend it to anyone visiting or local! Thank you so much Becca — we’ll treasure our candles .Thank you Olsten Soy

Hi! I’m Beca and I started Olsten in lockdown v.1!
I run candle workshops across Sussex, where you can select your own scent, pour your candle and make some little extras too.
I’d love for you to come and join in!
