Recent reviews of Native Flower Candle Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Rohini Vij, attended Nov 2025: I recently attended a festive candle-making workshop conducted by Hinako from Petaly at Space2b, and it was such a memorable experience. What made the workshop truly special was being able to share it with my sister Anchal and my friend Pallavi. Going to Space2b always feels like coming home, but this time there was a beautiful sense of newness as well. The atmosphere was warm, grounding, and incredibly inspiring. Hinako guided us with so much patience and creativity, and I still can’t believe we made such stunning candles ourselves! It was one of those rare experiences where you feel both relaxed and creatively energized. A heartfelt thank-you to Hinako for the incredible workshop and to Space2b for consistently creating such safe, welcoming spaces for creativity and connection. I left with a full heart — and beautiful candles to show for it.
  • 5/5 from Hazel Mak Wan Hei, attended Nov 2025: It was a relaxing and enjoyable workshop. I particularly love the scents and flower petals. There are many choices so I can tailor make the candle that I like. Teacher Hinako provides detailed explanation on the process and assisted each participant. It was amazing.
  • 5/5 from Rhonda Glenfield, attended Nov 2025: So much fun and a really relaxed workshop. Hinako explained the process well and provided all the tools we needed to create two beautiful candles. We even got to package our candles in boxes with our own handwritten label. A perfect group workshop
  • 5/5 from Marion Macqueen, attended Nov 2025: Terrific workshop with simple instructions and all necessary items well laid out for each person. Timely for Christmas gift giving but also fun to experience making these delicious candies - smell and looks combine!
  • 5/5 from Joanne Butler, attended Nov 2025: Fantastic course.. so much fun with a beautiful instructor.. amazing and thank you..
  • 5/5 from Johanna Michelle Lim Santos, attended Nov 2025: Hinako was an amazing teacher. She broke the steps down step by step, and kept time really well. She was also so enthusiastic about answering questions to those who want more detail about the candle-making process.
