A very fun and informative class by a super cute teacher! There were lots of tips and tricks on how you can make your own candle and on different types of wax etc. Held in a really cute workshop at the back of their store over cheese and wine. Can’t ask for a better way to learn.

Simon Swan • Feb 2020
Did a candle making class with cheese and wine. The teacher catered to requests and requirements of our group leading up to the class and perfectly suited the vibe our group. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the class and the teacher. The teacher was also very informative and engaging about candle making.

The venue was easy to find, the class was taught in a relaxed and positive vibe with good laughs. Tara knows what she’s talking about and answered all our questions (it was inspiring to hear her story too)5. And it was great to take a candle that we had made home. Would highly recommend this class!

Anna Foster • Jan 2020
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

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!
