Your teacher
I have been making and teaching how to make candles for approximately 15 years. I have an online business where I sell some candle, soap making and bath milk supplies and DIY projects.
I have years of knowledge when it comes to all different types of waxes, candles, wicks and all the latest info when it comes to candle making. I can even point you to all the candle supplies and tips on starting your own candle business!
I really enjoy teaching and love watching peoples reactions as their creations evolve and they can see what they have created. The classes are small and personal in my workshop at my home and I tend to customise the class around the group and what they would like to learn. I have recently started online classes due to covid which has brought be so many beautiful international and interstate students.

Great experience and excellent teacher. I thought the class would be stressful and complicated, mainly because it was online, and I'm not a crafty person, but it turned out to be super fun and easy.
My candles, soaps and milk bath look great and smell incredible.

I really enjoyed the soap and candle making with Shiree. She explained all of the different candle types and I now feel confident to make them my myself. My two boys (10 & 8) also decided to join in and they loved it too. We have decided to make some more now for Christmas gifts.

Shirlee was great and explained everything used and why certain wicks / wax / fragrances/ moulds etc used. I totally enjoyed this class .
Shirlee explained each total process went through with us and was extremely patient with me . One wax cooled when I turned off at commencement class and we moved to next one then went back to it when I was able too.
Had trouble wax leaking in mould and Shirlee guided me through what to do as was mess. Had couple problems with my hands again but worked my way through .
I didn't do the bath extra for $20 as hadn't seen it when booked but watched and listened what to do when she was teaching may to do it .
Recommend anyone to do as great for presents for Xmas .
Thanks again and thoroughly enjoyed this class .
My soap I love and candles also .
Thanks for a fun class Shirlee .

I had such a great morning with Shiree learning how to make candles and soap. Shiree Was so knowledgeable and very happy to answer all of our questions. She shared her tips and tricks so we can produce professional looking products on our first go.
It was great to learn about the different ingredients and how to use them. I left feeling confident to go ahead and make more in my own time. I was so impressed with the candles and soap I made on the day.
My kit arrived in the mail with ample time, it was well packed and the directions were exceptionally simple. It was all perfect.
Thank you again Shiree. I wouldn’t hesitate to do another class with you if you choose to add more.
Alexandra Fuller • Aug 2021
Absolutely fantastic class. I really enjoyed both the candle and soap making. The kit was great and leaves you with all the basics to keep making candles and soaps. The instructions were really clear and the session was interactive, Shiree was brilliant answering all my questions and a conversationalist. Would recommend to anyone looking for a taster class.
