This was a great class. Rachel and Chris were very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We spent time getting to know the different scents within candle and making personal scents to ensure we made candles that each one of us would love. The class was great value for money - afternoon tea was provided and each participant took home five candles. Make sure you leave plenty of time to find a car park, it can take a while!

Such an amazing experience! it was a great space to go alone and learn new skills! 10/10 would go again!

Hello. I was quite disappointed that there was no education about candle making. That is what we were hoping for and understood the class was about. We made candles and experienced the scents but there is so much more to making candles. This was missing and there was definitely time for it in the session. Michelle and Abbey

Teacher's response

Hi Abbey,
I’m sorry that you didn’t get the experience you were looking for. I just looked through our candle making listing and while it does make it quite clear that the focus is on fragrance, we will try make sure we go through more of the wax specifics. I was so focused on the new decorating activity we’d introduced that I didn’t do my usual explanation about temperatures.
If there is anything you’d like to reach out about specifically please let us know. We are always open to answering any questions. Have a great week and I hope enjoy your candles.
Rachel

I recently attended a Soy Candle Making class and had a wonderful experience. Although the thought of making candles can be intimidating, the teachers were very supportive and made the process enjoyable every step of the way. We had plenty of time to experiment with different scents and make our unique candles. A break was also provided in between, where we were offered light snacks. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested!

Rachael and Chris were fantastic instructors. The class was held in a beautiful, relaxing space, all the materials were provided in an exceptionally organised and professional manner. There was ample time to experiment with fragrances before making our own five beautiful, individual, take home scented candles. The instructors were very generous with their time and shared all their candle making tips and suppliers. Highly recommend, thank you ️

I attended the class with two friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed the class. The teachers were very helpful and assisting us and explained the process very well. They were very helpful and provided tips on how to get the best results.

The venue was a little tricky to find but it was a nice open space that provided a calm environment to do the workshop at. The materials provided were of high quality and was easy to use.

I would highly recommend this workshop and more than worth the cost. We also got great support after the workshop with information on how to continue making candles.

Teresa Tuite May 2023


What a lovely way to spend an afternoon, knowledgeable and attentive instructors, great venue with a nice vibe and came away with 5 lovely soy candles and feeling that I could do myself at home. Thankyou Class Bento.

Really enjoyed this class. The teachers were lovely and informative. All material was provided and was all very beautiful. It was wonderful to leave with 5 aromatic candles that I had made. Group size was just right. It was a great experience. Thanks very much.

Four of us went along for a lovely afternoon learning about fragrance and designing our own. We made some lovely candles. The teachers were very knowledgeable and happy to share lots of tips with us. The room decor was lovely. They even provided afternoon tea which was a lovely treat. Would recommend.

I attended the candle making class in Oct 22 with a friend and can't recommend more highly. The two teachers were very friendly, helpful & knowledgable, the set up was beautiful and we both got to take away 5 candles that miraculously looked and smelt fantastic! Great for gifts or to keep all to yourself :) 5*

Tracey Taylor Oct 2022


Was a wonderful experience and came away with 5 lovely candles with fragrances mixed myself. Thankyou!

Eliza Anlezark Oct 2022


A really delightful afternoon! Rachel and Sarah are great teachers - very warm and welcoming. The class was fun and interesting. We enjoyed mixing scents and decorating our candle tins. Nibbles and drinks were provided. It was just so nice doing something different and to have 5 candles to show for it. A great birthday gift! Highly recommend!

Wayne Fletcher Oct 2022


This was a great activity for a party for mixed ages. We had 8 aged 13 - 14 years and 5 50 - 70' years. Rachel was a great explainer/host. We were made to feel very welcome and the candle making commenced. The instruction was informative and fun as we tried to train our senses. The pace was great, and everyone completed their chosen scented candles. It was great to take a break as the wax hardened and fitted in both eating and party fair.

A wonderful fun activity. Thanks!

Sema Taylor Sep 2022


Teacher was knowledgeable, lovely and helpful. Had the best time and so happy with the candles I get to take away :)

Joanne Dean-Ritchie Sep 2022


We really enjoyed the class the hosts were absolutely fantastic and very personable - wonderful afternoon of candle making and spending time with friends.

Aleisha Ricketts Jul 2022


Rachel held an amazing private class for us, we all had a great time and the venue was so fabulous! We played a little scent guessing game and then each made 5 candles (of our own scents) to bring home. There's plenty of time to mingle and chat with everyone there and have a few of the provided snacks. Honestly it couldn't have been any better, highly recommend choosing this class for any event!

Fantastic workshop! Heaps of information and materials, the course is very entertaining as well. I would definitely recommend to my friends and colleagues.

Teachers were fantastic. The venue was gorgeous. The class was so well structured and informative.

Cathy Potter Jun 2022


We had a fantastic day. When I booked this class, I spoke with Rachel and explained that my sister had just had life changing surgery. Our experience doing this candlemaking class was described with words lovely, fun, wonderful, enjoyable and really nice, by my sister and her friend who’d travelled from interstate to do it. How beautiful that Chris, Rachel and Sarah, all family, created this company to spend more time together, as a family. They have brought that foundation of togetherness, and family, into their classes, and into their company. I asked for good endorphins for my sister, and our experience with Class Bento Lucian Candles far exceeded our expectations. A absolutely wonderful experience. Thankyou for your kindness and your wealth of knowledge that you so willingly shared xx

the class has been very helpful and I am more confident to try making candle on my own. The teacher was very helpful and politely clarified all the queries I had regarding candle making.
It has been an interesting experience.

Really great value for money workshop and so much fun! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful afternoon of creating

Malia Naupoto Jun 2021


Friendly, sociable, fun, engaging and informative class which resulted in your own set of candles and a sense of accomplishment. Set in a relaxed and cosy setting, the wonderful Lucian team prpovide you with the resources and the know-how to introduce you into the world of soy candle making. You receive a greater awareness and appreciation for the work of soy candle makers and after smelling a multitude of scents you get to create your own from scratch and it is an incredible feeling (not to mention taking them home with you and the special quirky lid designs you come up with - optional but definitely recommended). Light snacks and refreshments are provided, which are delicious but would recommend ensuring dinner plans (and dessert) are pre-planned as well. Overall well worth the money and it is time well spent!

All the components - venue, tools, facilitator, were fine. No area in need of improvement. Thank you.

Dominica Joseph May 2021


What an amazing opportunity. Our instructors were the loveliest people, the 3 hours were streamlined to ensure we all had maximum opportunity to engage with the craft and take home exactly what we had planned for. There choice of fragrance was endless, the equipment so very easy to use and the relaxing atmosphere (which included food and drinks) made for a very enjoyable and productive afternoon.

Jessica Sharp Apr 2021


Great class and excellent value for money. Was done in a little cafe in Phillip which worked well for serving the included drinks and afternoon tea which there was plenty of! The guys at Lucian Candles are lovely and more than happy to share any knowledge and tips about candle making. Would happily do another class with them.

A fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon! The teachers were lovely and generous with their time and knowledge, including where to buy supplies and how much they cost. The venue, Wheat and Oat in Fyshwick, is a cozy café, and great coffee and home made delicious sweet and savory treats were included. All materials were supplied, including five take home quality soy candles created and fragranced by participants, and a bonus reed diffuser. We were taught how to make candles, but the focus of the class was all about fragrance, and we created our own fragrances for our candles. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

Venue was beautiful, teachers were good and generous in sharing their knowledge. It was a bit difficult getting to the fragrances with so many in the class however we all seemed to manage. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a fun class.

Relaxing, fun and lovely to try something new. Teacher was excellent. Very nice cheese platter as well.

Teachers were excellent, very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the class and got to take home 5 beautiful candles. Would highly recommend.

Kate Morse Jul 2020


Fabulous class and certainly value for money. We took home 5 candles in the scents we created - we were only limited by our imagination. Rachael and Chris were great teachers - very knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely nice people. Can not recommend this class highly enough :)

Scarlett Conroy Jul 2020


Was so much fun and the teachers were really friendly. We got the take home 5 candles that we made with our own personalised scent . Would highly recommend

Callum Florance Jul 2020


Fantastic overall! The perfect evening class - the teachers were kind and I appreciate being able to take something home afterwards (five candles).

Enya Caffarelli Mar 2020


The teachers were lovely and very helpful, they also provided light snacks which was so nice. The materials provided were in excellent condition. The value for money was spot on! Not only do you walk out with 5 candles you get to make yourself, but the value of learning how to do it for yourself at home as well makes it even better. I would do this again and I’d recommend to friends.

Hiba Attar Mar 2020


This class was really funny and definitely value for money. Everything was supplied to us including tea and yummy food. The venue was nice although maybe some more lights and signage as to which way to go in the venue would have been handy. I think also more working space would be great as the room was quite large and we had small tables with many people to a table to work with. Very minor things though, the teacher was great and friendly and I loved the end result of my candles!
