I recently attended a candle making session at The Crafts Collective and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and Vicky was super friendly and knowledgeable. I loved being able to choose my own scents and vessles, and the process was surprisingly easy and fun. Plus, walking away with my two of my own custom candle felt so rewarding. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a creative and enjoyable activity! Can't wait to come back for another workshop.

PS: The cake was delicious too!

Really enjoyed the class, bit difficult to find the location but lovely and welcoming once we did
Nicky was really helpful and on hand with pointers as and when we needed.
Really nice atmosphere with everyone helping each other out as well and sharing the different foliage.
Tea and cake was a great added bonus as well, would definitely come back and do another class

We booked the crystal candle making session with Class Bento, Niall was absolutely fantastic in helping us arrange our activity with Vicky! Any questions we had were answered professionally and promptly ahead of our activity.

Our class was led by a very knowledgeable individual called Vicky. We were running a few minutes and contacted our teacher she was reassuring on the phone and also when we arrived. The session was fun, relaxed and informative, Vicky took the time to get to know us all and we immediately felt at ease!

When we arrived the venue was fantastic and all ready to go. Vicky hosted the class with fun, kindless and knowledge! We walked away with two lovely candles and a tummy full of coffee, tea and a delicious home made cake.

We were a hen party of nine and we would not hesitate to book again Fantastic from Class Bento, fantastic class & teacher!

Thank you!

An amazing morning with a small group of ladies sharing the joy of creativity. We had a super chat, including Vicky the host who was very helpful, accommodating and served us all with the tools and materials for our terrezzo casting pottery workshop. Vicky, also served us with a delicious serving of Victoria sponge cake and a choice of soft or hot drinks. Highly recommended. This workshop was one of two gifts for my birthday from my family.

My experience at this workshop was really perfect. We were greeted so warmly by our teacher. She was really skilful in holding the group, she shared her knowledge beautifully. She was really open to all the questions we had. The venue was so cute, the room was set up beautifully. It’s given me the confidence to explore it more. I thought it was great value as we were able to take home the candles we created. Also I can’t forget to mention the gorgeous cake she provided, delicious.
I would definitely do a workshop again.

I can highly recommend this workshop. I attended with my daughter. We both learned so much from it and have left feeling very eager to try making candles ourselves at home. Vicky was so welcoming and informative and we felt completely at ease and able to ask lots of questions. We were provided with everything we needed to make two beautiful candles plus refreshments as well. We’ve come away with lots of ideas. The group was small which was perfect and the venue was a lovely and interesting workshop setting.

We had a really enjoyable afternoon as a family. Vicky was very welcoming and the session was very relaxing and good fun! The homemade Victoria sponge was amazing! Would recommend this for anyone wanting a nice day out and to do something different. Our candles are so pretty and smell gorgeous ❤️
