Teacher was excellent and so helpful, particularly for anyone looking to sell candles. Got a number of candles and I think they look great.
Kaelli Voigt • Jun 2021
Brilliant class and so much fun for a Friday night and self-care activity. You are made to feel welcome from when you walk through the door to when you leave, with a new found knowledge of how to make your own soy candles (and some new friends also). Step-by-step instructions offers a practical experience and use of a wide range of materials allows your creative flow to transcend into beautiful candles. Highly recommend and will look at returning for another workshop. Thankyou so much for the experience. Let the candle burning commence.

Grace Lau • Nov 2019
We made beautifully scented candles, and the teacher was very friendly and generous, as she gave extra jars/ tea light cases than what was advertised. However, the smell when burning the candles at home were very faint.
Jessica Taylor • Oct 2019
Had a fabulous time with Nicola from Habdmaker's Factory doing botanical printing and candle making. She was so incredibly helpful, very friendly and knowledgeable. It was great to learn new skills in a friendly and encouraging environment! The candles I made are good enough to sell and I will never look at leaves the same way again
Kate Barraclough • Sep 2019
Really enjoyed the class. Nicola was friendly and well organized, which made the class very relaxing/enjoyable.
Loved that she gave you a booklet/handout with all the information you need to make eco candles again when you’re at home and where to get supplies. Loved that she’s eco conscious and that you can do everything without having to buy too much new stuff either, maybe just a thermometer for me. Would highly recommend :)
