- 5/5 from Lee-Anne B, attended May 2024: This was a voucher I got for Christmas off my husband. I was abit nervous going on my own but the other girls & teacher were very friendly & welcoming. I had a glass of bubbles & thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I really had no idea about the finer art of candle making. I loved being able to make my own that will be ready to burn next week. They sell beginner kits so I can make more at home
- 5/5 from Soni, attended Oct 2023: There's a significant distinction between merely watching YouTube and actively engaging in practical learning. Both the theoretical and practical aspects were outstanding, and the teacher's explanations were exceptional. The question-and-answer sessions kept us engaged, and motivation had its own special role to play.

Your teacher
About your instructorIn 2009, I taught myself to make soy candles at home, and later also became a soap maker. Soon after, I established a successful bath, body and home fragrance brand from my small kitchen, and my creations were featured regularly in national magazines and newspapers. My products were stocked Australia-wide, sold in boutiques and chain stores around Australia, and I exported to Hong Kong and the U.S.A. After taking a break to have my kids, I returned to pass this knowledge on to others through workshops and supplies.
