  • 5/5 from Judith Heather Stokker, attended Nov 2023: Teacher was very well prepared. Resources were great. Teacher very knowledgeable and we all learnt a lot. Everyone came away with lovely candles. Only issue was that the lesson was only two hours long not the three hours as advertised. We had time to make another type in candle.
  • 5/5 from Christine Patterson, attended Nov 2023: Fantastic teacher, great peaple in the classroom all over a very good day and very informative
  • 5/5 from Yolandi Nel, attended Apr 2023: Mel was very friendly and helpful. Mel made us feel welcome and answered all out questions. Mel made it easy to understand instructions which was good for my NDIS participant which made it very enjoyable for her. Got to take home some nice goodies too.

  • 5/5 from Kristy Verrall, attended Feb 2023: Easy to follow steps, well explained by Mel and a great product at the end
  • 4/5 from Wendy Keeton, attended Feb 2023: Interesting class, lovely & helpful teacher, happy with session & enjoying candles, will do more classes in future
  • 4/5 from Anita Eccles, attended Feb 2023: The class was good and very informative. The venue would have been better if the Community Centre had of left a key for our teacher but she did a great job delivering the class outside under gazebos with no access to facilities and it rained. But the attendee's all made the best of the situation and stayed positive. Mel provided handouts at the end of the class for us to take which are very informative. Mel also had an assistant who was helpful and friendly. A good time was had by the party of 4 ladies that I organised the class for. One of my guests was my daughter and it was her birthday gift which she thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to Mel and her helper.
  • 3/5 from Karen Cumberlidge, attended Feb 2023: Class held outside, no access to bathrooms.no coffee or water supplied, teabags and chai offered. The candle making itself was very good, informative and fun.
