A great experience in a great space, we came away with some lovely memories and some newly found knowledge. Something I highly recommend.

Teacher's response

Thank you Nick!
I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review :)
I taught you something about pure soy wax and you taught me something about the other type of wax!
All the best to you and your wife, Tania

Brilliant workshop! Tania is a great teacher, and we all had a wonderful evening creating candles and enjoying the fresh food hamper and Prosecco. Can't wait to burn my handmade candles on a cosy evening. Having participated in few workshops over the past years I would say this one was one of the best for not only the experience on the day, but also the “take away” of 3 beautifully scented candles plus lots of small heart shaped ones from the leftover wax.
We left with great knowledge of how to make beautiful scented candles as well as with the knowledge of where to find good quality products, and how to be health and safety aware.
Can't wait to go back and make more candles with different scents.
Thanks Tania, thanks ClassBento!

Teacher's response

Hi there Mirjana, Wow! What a beautiful review. Thank you so much for sharing.

And it was wonderful hearing your stories - you have lived many lives! Keep travelling and sharing your experiences :)

All the very best, Tania

Ainslie Thompson • Jan 2024

Tania was absolutely amazing! Great communication. She made it a super easy process to book and organise a workshop at home for my birthday. She was really flexible with changing numbers. Had great knowledge on candle making and after care of our new candles. I think we all learnt a lot from it.

Tania was super organised and had literally everything there ready for us. We didn’t have to bring a thing. Oh and the little snack box was such a lovely touch! We all throughly enjoyed it.

We walked away with 3 beautiful candles and a few little wax melts, made with leftover wax from a candle so that nothing went to waste.

My friends and I had such a great time and couldn’t recommend Tania more highly.

Teacher's response

Thank you Ainslie!

I'm so grateful I was able to take part in your birthday celebration which you and your friends were just lovely :)

Enjoy your gorgeous candles!

All the very best,

Tania

I enjoyed this class so much, we got to make 3 candles. There were so many different fragrances to choose from. Tania our teacher was very helpful and informative on every step of the way. The atmosphere was beautiful with nice music and the room smelt amazing with all the fragrance oils. This was a relaxing and fun and every step of making these candles was therapeutic. I would highly recommend people to do this class; its definitely a feel good class. Tania was a kind and helpful person; thankyou so much Tania. We all got a lovely snack pack with fresh and delicious appetizers. Since it was close to Christmas, we got a bon bon. Tania has put a lot of attention to detail into making this class. As a whole this class was packaged and conducted so well.

Teacher's response

Thank you so much Tina!

It was the last class before the Christmas break and I really enjoyed holding the Workshop. I hope you had a lovely time over the Festive Season.

Thank you Tania

Terri Jayne Bryan • Nov 2023

Tania was nothing but fabulous throughout our beautiful workshop. She gave clear, guided advice on how to make three gorgeous candles in her lovely well-lit workspace.
With a beautiful selection of fragrances to choose from and lots of practical advice and great materials to use, this workshop was fun, informative and engaging throughout.
Tania is a gorgeous host; warm, passionate, kind and with a lovely glass of champagne on arrival to boot, you felt she really loves what she does and makes you feel very welcome. I learnt a great deal from Tania and would 100% recommend her workshop in the future. She is a gem and you won't be disappointed.

Teacher's response

what a lovely and welcoming space!
our teacher was patient but kept us on a timeline so we could take home all three of our uniquely scented candles!
i also couldn't walk past some of the wonderful woodwork that was for sale at the studio as well and bought a tasting board! by the end of the evening everyone was laughing and sharing stories, really a great experience for almost any single or group. definitely wouldn't mind going back!

Teacher's response

Siobhan • Sep 2023

Tania was wonderful. Welcoming, fun, imparted lots of useful information and tips and tricks.
We were warmly greeted, the class size was perfect.
Loved the candles - we got to make three.
It was so much fun and felt very relaxed. Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Loved how Tania took us through each step, making sure all our questions were answered. I left there confident that I can make beautiful candles on my own.
Thanks so much for a beautiful experience.

Teacher's response

Hi Siobhan,
Thank you so much for your review! It was lovely to meet you last Saturday, you both did a beautiful job with your candles. I also hoped you found Psarakos Market ok and picked up some nice take-away for dinner :)

Tania was lovely and very knowledgeable. The venue was easy to find and the actual warehouse was cozy with the heater on.
We learned how to make soy candles at home, which was the main reason for me to attend the class. Was definitely worth it. Really enjoyed the experience, so can only recommend. The three candles I made during the class are looking great and smell amazing.

Tania is a great instructor and very thoughtful, with lots of lovely touches. She learned all of our names quickly and prepped delicious hampers for each of us. The workshop is fun but also very practical. Tania breaks down the process methodically into easy and systematic steps to follow. I chose this workshop specifically over others as the emphasis was on actually teaching you how to make candles rather than simply a fun activity to share with friends (although this workshop is great for that too). The venue was well supplied, the candles looked and smelled great, and I walked away feeling confident about how to make them on my own (and where to find supplies from local vendors). Great value for money and learned a lot.

Teacher's response

Hi Linda,
Thank you for your wonderful review! For a small business - reviews are very much appreciated :)
You did a great job with your candles - enjoy!
All the very best,
Tania

What a fabulous fun night! Tania was a great teacher relaxed, generous and really knowledgeable about the journey of candlemaking. I’d highly recommend doing this not on you making candles enjoying the company of like-minded people. You’ll have some lovely nibbles in the glass of wine if you choose. Great value.
