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!

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

Marina made our workshop so fun, what a brilliant atmosphere! We learnt so much about the art and science of different scents, and loved getting to pick our own combinations. An amazing class both if you're looking for a crafty way to spend the day, or if you genuinely want to learn how to make beautiful candles!

My husband and I went to the workshop and Marina was very welcoming. She explained each step clearly, from melting wax to blending essential oils and pouring into the glass jars. I loved experimenting with fragrances and creating a personalized candle. A fun, eco-friendly experience that left me with new skills.

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.

I absolutely loved the LUXURY candle making class, I treated a friend for her birthday, who is very creative. I had her in mind when I booked it, but I must say that I throughly enjoyed every minute of it, The teacher was so hospitable, I left with so much information and of course and amazing candle. This was worth the price, I would definitely do it again. Thank you so much for an amazing day, my friend also had allergies, which she catered for with no problems. It was wonderful afternoon.

A Wonderful Experience with ClassBento's Vegan Candle Making Class
I had a truly delightful time at the vegan candle making class. From start to finish, it was a calming, creative, and enriching experience. Marina, our instructor, was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about her craft. She created a welcoming environment that made learning both fun and fulfilling.
We not only learned how to create beautiful, eco-friendly candles but also got an insightful introduction to essential oils, their properties, benefits, and how to blend them effectively. Marina’s guidance was clear and inspiring, leaving me excited to continue exploring candle making on my own.
I walked away with a lovely handmade candle and a deeper appreciation for the art and science behind it. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to try something new, relax, and connect with creativity.

We learned a lot about the different uses of essential oils and fragrance oils, and with her guidance, we were able to make our own beautiful scented candles. It was such a relaxing and fun experience. Thank you, Marina, for a truly memorable and fragrant experience!

Grace Ama • Attended Mar 2025



Marina’s candle-making class was an absolute joy from start to finish. She created a warm, welcoming space where everyone felt comfortable, supported, and encouraged—no matter their skill level. Her teaching style was clear, detailed, and full of helpful tips, yet never overwhelming. The setting was beautifully laid out, overlooking her garden, adding to the calm and inspiring atmosphere.
We each left with our own gorgeous vegan candle and more knowledge than we expected. Marina’s kindness, laughter, and generosity made the experience truly special. I would happily attend any future classes she offers—she’s an excellent tutor, and this class was unforgettable.

Lily Moore • Attended Jul 2024



We had a luxury candle making workshop by Marina for a hen party and it was just brilliant! Marina was super accommodating with a few extra guests we had a few weeks ahead of the class which was great. She came to our house with plenty of time to set up and everything looked professional and exciting when we started the workshop! We each had materials for the candle and an info sheet and Marina spoke excellently with some background about essential oils and candle making. We leant all about notes then had a chance to smell the oils before choosing combinations for our candle and weighing them out. Marina was helpful, calm and friendly throughout which made the experience so enjoyable and we each came away with a brilliant looking and smelling candle at the end. Thanks so much!

The workshop is amazing!
The atmosphere is very friendly and chill. We learned a lot from Marina as a teacher armed with her “nose for the business”. She shared a lot of her wisdom and this is a great gift for people who would like to learn new things. At the end of the fun-filled two hours you get to go home with your own candle creation. Also, perfect avenue for meeting new people. Highly recommendable


Michaela • Attended Nov 2023



This was a truly amazing experience and one which my team and I thoroughly enjoyed. Marina was a lovely host and teacher and taught us so much about what actually goes into making candles. The space in her home was well set out and comfortable, and the refreshments she provided were so good! We came away from this session with gorgeous smelling candles and a new found love of creating our own. I would definitely recommend booking this workshop!

It was a very entertaining session and our instructor Marina was very welcoming - she prepared loads of beverages, snacks for us to feel at home. We learned a lot about candle making process, different smell notes and made our own candle as a final product!

Katja Ahola • Attended Mar 2023



Both me and my boyfriend really enjoyed Marina's workshop. She's super knowledgeable about aromatherapy, essential oils and natural products in cosmetics and candle making, and I left the class with a lot of insight and inspiration to start using aromatherapy for my own wellbeing. The candle making and blending the scents itself was really fun and she gave a lot of good guidance to help everyone along the way, and in the end we all parted with a beautiful homemade candle. Her home is also beautiful and perfect setting for the class, with some nice snacks and tea/coffees available too.
