Recent reviews of Christmas Candle Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Jenna Hales, attended Dec 2025: 10/10 experience at Yougi this week. We were a group of 30 for a corporate event hosting Christmas candle making. It smelled like a spa when we walked in, the set up was gorgeous and our host was bubbly, fun and so helpful. All of our guests loved it and we will be back next year for another activity. Thank you so much!!
  • 5/5 from Liz Varlow, attended Dec 2025: This was a lovely relaxed candle making workshop. We learnt about aroma and fragrance and made a beautiful candle. And got 15% off products in the shop aswell!
  • 5/5 from Lauren Vasquez, attended Dec 2024: We did this as a team building, end of year social event and it was a big hit! The shop, ingredients and final product felt very high quality. We learned about essential oils and ingredients and techniques to make candles at home (if we wanted to). All around it was a lovely way to spend time as a group while getting some "downtime" from the Christmas-time crush
  • 5/5 from Beverley Taylor-Carson, attended Dec 2024: Fantastic class with very patient, informative and bubbly teachers. Would definitely recommend - thank you for a fab session.
  • 5/5 from Alison Langleben, attended Dec 2024: We thoroughly enjoyed the candle making class. Frances ran a fun and informative session with a great festive playlist. Would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Joanna Spice, attended Dec 2023: Learnt how to make a scented candle and about essential oils - and made a great gift! Great venue next to Spitalfields.
  • 5/5 from Ryan Nobbs, attended Dec 2023: Amazing class. Loved hearing about the journey of the company and the steps for making a candle as well the process of makings scents. My mum loved it as well.
  • 5/5 from Dee Mills, attended Dec 2023: The Christmas candle making class was amazing. Emily comes across as warm and welcoming and is clearly passionate about what she does and this came across throughout the session. Questions were welcomed and answered in depth. The studio is a lovely relaxing space in Shoreditch. I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday morning and would definitely book other classes.
  • 5/5 from Vivienne Brooks, attended Dec 2023: Definitely recommend, very enjoyable activity. Teacher was very knowledgable and loved coming home with our candle.
  • 5/5 from Jessie, attended Dec 2023: Thank you so much to Emily and Charlotte for hosting this workshop, our members were all very happy with their candles. Emily was very helpful and warm and very informative. The scents were beatiful and a wide variety. We will definitely be booking this again sometime next year.
  • 4/5 from Natalia Orzechowska, attended Dec 2023: This class was taken by me and my 10 girlfriends to celebratey birthday. Emily is a very accommodating host, there was no issue with adding additional person, though the table set up was missing that +1. Emily's candle shop smells fantastic, with all natural oils. My friends were excited to make their own candles, following clear instructions. The oils were already blended - blends available in Emily's shop, but we were still able to mix those ourselves. It was fun, but short.
  • 5/5 from Veronica Stevenson, attended Nov 2023: Such a lovely workshop with the founder which was so cool, gorgeous intimate setting, good location and you get to bring your candle home. thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Alexis, attended Jan 2023: Really lovely workshop. Learned a lot and was a very peaceful evening with a great candle to takeaway!
  • 5/5 from Emma Cole, attended Nov 2022: Emily exubed a quite calm enfourced by the background scents of her beautiful candles. The class was informative without feeling like she was giving us a hard sell - I'm quite surprised about how much I actually learnt. We made Xmas candles & I would have liked to have had a list of the emtions/feelings each combination of essential oils evoked, but this is purely because I'd forgotten most of the finer details by the time I got back home. In the meantime, my candle is lovely & I can't wait to light it. Thanks Emily & Merry Christmas!
  • 4/5 from Rael Artel, attended Nov 2022: Everything super nice!
  • 5/5 from Joe Shearer, attended Nov 2021: Teacher was good and informative the venue was nice but also under a train station so loud at times. Overall very good though
  • 3/5 from Cherry Haase, attended Nov 2021: Bit disappointed course didn't cover how to weigh wax. Apart from that class tutor was ok.
  • 5/5 from Ka Chow, attended Dec 2020: Candle smells amazing!the workshop is really easy to follow and lots of information about candle making.Will def book another candle making workshop.

Have you ever noticed that candles make everything better? We did, but we kept finding ourselves settling for candles that were made from synthetic fragrance and paraffin. And they were too expensive to light every day. Because of this, we spent a year testing hundreds of fragrances, mixing waxes and experimenting with wicks to create the kind of candles we’d been searching for. This is how Yougi was born!
We started our candle-making workshops as a way of sharing our knowledge and love of candles and aromatherapy. We are proud to say that our candles are cruelty-free, vegan, ethically sourced, eco-friendly and 100% natural.
Come and join us for a feel-good workshop and make your own soy candle with essential oils.
