Tara and the class were fantastic, the class was the highlight of my 3 week holiday. Tara explains the whole process and took us through each step at the perfect pace, we weren’t rushed in any way. The vessels we used are gorgeous, high quality and reusable. Tara is bright and bubbly, and was genuine in her warm welcome as we arrived. I found her to be genuine in her love of her craft and feel inspired to exercise my creativity more. The cheese board and bubbles were a lovely touch as we fired her any questions as our candles cured. I highly recommend this class and look forward to going back to the Provider Store to have my vessel refilled.

Bill Rothery • Dec 2019
A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxed class. In order to get more from the downtime waiting for candles to dry it would be good to learn more about candle mould making, multiple wicks and a wider appreciation of the world of candle making. Tara is lovely, relaxed and very hospitable.

Fantastic workshop - the candle making process was clearly explained, the choice of scents was brilliant (we will definitely be back!) and the final product we made and took home felt like a really premium item. The sparkling wine and cheese board was a great addition.

Sam Davison • Oct 2019
Our team very much enjoyed our candle making experience with Tara! The Provider Store was a lovely venue - especially the smell of all the candles. The materials she provided were high quality, and we loved the re-usable, multi-purpose teacup. The cheese board and champagne was a nice touch, definitely adding good value for money. We would 100% return for another candle making workshop - or even potato printing!
5
Sharon Chan • Oct 2019
We hosted a hens event at Tara’s studio and we really enjoyed her class! We loved how thoughtful she was throughout the class and it was the little things she did from the cheese platter and drinks provided to being really informative about the candle making - it was such a great experience! Would definitely recommend this to people! Thank you Tara for giving us such a great class and being such good company!

Joanne White • Oct 2019
I loved this class with Tara on Saturday. Tara was a great teacher very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. I have already lit my candle and it smells lovely and to know I have a Japanese Tea Cup after the was has all gone it a great bonus.
We had a great group of people in our class on Saturday so that was an added bonus.
Thanks Tara

Stuart • Sep 2019
This was such a really nice, relaxed and fun experience. Tara the owner proprietor of Provider Store is an amazing human being from Central Coast with a beautiful pup who really loves what she does.
The candles smell fantastic - although I dropped mine getting out of the car :( (luckily I bought a spare!)
Definitely a sustainable business worth supporting via cheese, wines and making your own candle!
We will be back for certain!
