Tracey was fantastic, she was patient and understanding and provided lots of detail to the science behind candle making. The scents you could choose from were incredible and very unique. Couldn't recommend further.

Lovely set up with Tracy guiding us through each step from melting soy wax in a double boiler to mixing in the fragrance you pick out and finally pouring the soy wax into cans. Leaf candle co is run adjacent her husband’s hot sauce business in an upstairs warehouse room. There’s a dozen ready made fragrances for you to choose including sandalwood, watermelon lemonade, Bellini sorbet, clean linen, gin & tonic as a fragrance. The candles need time to set and will be sent to us at a later date.

Had an excellent time at Leaf Candle Co’s candle making workshop. With a friendly and attentive host, many interesting candle facts and fragrances in a lovely art studio and a delicious grazing board, this workshop is a great value for money and such a fun experience! Would recommend for a great night out!

Very lovely workshop. I went by myself and wish I'd gone with a friend, or for a special occasion. There was a lot of chatting in-between the stages which was really nice but did mean that the experience was shaped by the other individuals at the class. Would have been great for a night with friends!

Loved this creative and eclectic part of town so the distance was no barrier for me. Tracy’s candle making studio lived up to the creative reputation of the area. Loved the bright colours and designs she uses on her candle tins. The class was presented with easy to follow instructions and had a good social vibe. Beginner friendly. There was a great food platter. Cost included Tracy mailing out our 3 candles. Good value creativity and colour treat.

I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. The studio smelled wonderful, Tracey gave very clear instructions and we all had a lot of fun.

Chau Truong • Nov 2023

Tracy was a great teacher, very knowledgeable, informative and I love the part where she talked about how she turned a hobby into a side business. I also love the fact she uses recycled tuna tins and can tins! The venue was easy to find, heaps of parking spots and the studio was nice and cosy. When we got there we were greeted by Tracy, there was a lovely grazing platter to share. Then we had to choose our scent for our candles and then the workshop began. All materials provided, easy instructions, it was therapeutic and lots of fun!

I wanted to attend this class so I can gift my friends scented candles by Christmas. This class didn't disappoint. It is really beginner friendly. Loved that we used upcycled tin cans for this! You'll learn the right way of mixing and pouring the melted wax and how much to put in. Teacher was lovely as well and gave us handy tips on how to stick your wicks.

The scents were just amazing and I wish I could make them all!

Enjoyed making candles. Had the option to make 3 candles and pick a scent for each candle.
The teacher explained the process of how to make candles.
The grazing platter was also yummy to share with the rest of the class.

Tracy's soy candle making workshop was fun and therapeutic. Her workshop space was warm and cozy. We had an array of fragrances to choose from. Tracy was very thorough in the way she instructed us in the candle making process. I found the actual process of making the candles really enjoyable and calming. I would definitely recommend this workshop.

A very good experience and a friendly environment for me with a patient and enthusiastic teacher, a very generous and delicious brunch and the experience of making my own candles with my favorite essential oils! Maybe I wanted to be a little more diverse and learn at least one or two shaped candles, but it might not be possible for less than two hours! Anyway, it was a good experience for me with a nice teacher, Thanks

Janet Derrick • May 2023

It gave me the confidence to try more candle making from home. I also feel that I could reach out to you if I need help or advice. Your website was very informative and helpful.
