Q: I wanted to ask if the soap making class uses essential oils (instead if fragrance oil) and what types of colorants eg micas.. and clays? Also do you use palm oil? Or can we use an alternative, thank you
A: I’m happy you asked me these questions and I’m happy to answer you.
I don’t use palm oil and good news there are many alternatives.
I use only essential oils for soap, no fragrances.
I use natural colourants like spirilina active charcoal and cocoa powder but
also Mica and clay.
I decorate the soap with organic dried flowers like calendula, lavender,
cornflower, chamomile and rose petal.
If you have any other questions I’m happy to hear them

Hi there

Candle making is a form of art and in one that I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise gained over many years of candle making. My expertise goes far beyond wax and wicks. I have hosted many classes and met many wonderful people and each time it truly brings so much joy to my heart just by seeing people from all walks of life including first-timers, hobbyists and entrepreneurs enjoying my class making candles.
Throughout my class, I ensure everyone is involved and engaged having a hands-on experience at making candles. I discuss how different ingredients react and how to work with them safely, how candle testing is conduct and all the troubleshooting you might encounter on your jorney. At the end of my sessions, I only hope that I made a difference to someone not only by improving their knowledge and skills in the subtle art of candle making but also ensuring a fun weekend experience had by all.
I must also mention that I do my absolute best in protecting our beautiful planet. I make every endeavour to ensure the products and the ingredients I use is sustainable and ethically sourced where possible. I would like to add for your peace of mind - my fragrances are completely vegan and cruelty-free and adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity.
My candles and my soap is created with passion and represents my craft.
With that said, I hope to see you on my next workshopand get your feedback on board as I always aim to improve.

Elena was very bubbly, friendly and gave us a plethora of knowledge about the techniques and art of candle making. We had complete creative freedom with the fragrance, colouring and styling of our candles using a variety of different flower petals and buds, accompanied with help and advice from Elena along the way. It's held in a great location, I came home with so many candles and would recommend this class to anyone. I am particularly in love with my 'pink champagne' scented candle it is a must!
Thanks Elena for a great experience :)

Elena was an excellent teacher, great at explaining and giving us a lot of information on candle making. Thoroughly enjoyed Elena’s candle making class. All the materials we needed were provided. Highly recommend.
Laura Elvery • Mar 2022
Very informative, friendly class. Great value for money in terms of resources, came home with a lot of candles I got to make myself as well as in depth information on how to make them at home.
Some really good business insights if I were to be interested in making candles professionally, though at this stage I am just hoping to make them recreationally. Learned a lot about candles in general that I had no idea about before.
Elena was lovely and very easy to get along with. She also has a very cute dog! Overall a great experience and one I’d definitely recommend.
Sina Klug • Mar 2022
Elena is absolutely amazing and so thoughtful. From drinks to snacks and little gifts, Elena had everything one could dream of for an entertaining afternoon. She explained everything so skillfully and we learned a lot from her experience.

Elena's class was both informative and fun! She is friendly with a lovely disposition and the passion for what she does is obvious from the minute you sit down. Happy to answer any questions it's obvious she knows her craft. As I went on my own I thought it would be uncomfortable until I got to know everyone, but she is a pure professional and made me feel comfortable from the minute I walked in. Loved it!
Hannah Shewan • Nov 2021

Cora • Jun 2021
It was good experience to attend her class.
its a good place for learning but, i was lost.
Alex McCulloch • Jun 2021
The class was great! The start was a little theory heavy while we waited for the wax to melt to make the candles but once we got to making them it all made sense. Elena has a great attitude and was really wonderful at answering questions and making a good atmosphere. The supplies were all really high quality and my mum and I were really happy with the experience and the candles we ended up with

Elena was lively lovely helpful and knowledgeable. She made the class fun and skills / learning based. The three hours was just right. The venue was fine. The class was expensive with regard to value for money even with materials provided and I expected to have made more candles. My only constructive criticism would be that Elena not be distracted by some participants who ask irrelevant or personal questions whilst the rest of us sit around waiting and delay the progression of the class. Other than that it was a fun class.
Maria Gentle • Jun 2021
Elena was fun, knew what she was talking about and it was easy to understand the basics of candlemaking. Her passion and knowledge comes through and I highly reccomend.

Sonia Zar • Feb 2021
Elena was an amazing teacher with a great sense of humour and very passionate about candle making. She shared her knowledge and was happy to recommend shops and suppliers. She was incredibly patient with us and we couldn't have asked for a better class. So many scents to choose from and we get to take home a large, medium, small and a few twilight candles. The scent throw is amazing too, left them at my kitchen table and the scent is lingering around it smells amazing can't wait to light them and give them to my friends. I went with my best friend and sister and we all had a great time with nothing to fault about the class and our teacher. Thank you Elena

I had a fantastic afternoon with Elena. Elena was our teacher who is very welcoming, polite, friendly, and passionate about candle-making. She made the class so relaxing and informative at the same time. Love the atmosphere! It was such a pleasure to forget about all my work and throw myself into candle-making on a lovely afternoon. Falling into the candle rabbit hole, I just ordered a lot of candle making supplies from the recommended website! Definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about candles and make beautiful Christmas gifts
Rahul Narayan • Dec 2020
Elena was great ! 5 of us attended her class as a gift for my mum's 60th & the boys who started the lesson a bit sceptical of ended up spending the most time decorating their candles with flowers. She was very knowledgeable about all things candles & she shared all of her trade secrets for how to make cost effective candles for home and quality candles for sale. 10/10 would recommend as an out of the box gift for someone who hasn't done this before.
Daniela Drivas • Nov 2020

Elena is very friendly and passionate about her work and I absolutely enjoyed the class, Elena’s company and the beautiful candles I made I highly recommend this class. Thank you again Elena and for your tips and tricks :)

Fantastic!
I thoroughly enjoyed Elena's workshop and highly recommend it.
Elena was wonderful; professional, friendly, informative and patient (with me).
I enjoyed working with her products, which are natural and environmentally friendly. She does mention other products, however I chose her workshop because of its environmentally friendly approach and that's what I'm about; protecting nature and wildlife.
The day was warm and sunny and her studio is light and fresh. 'Bella' added a very pleasant touch to the afternoon atmosphere. And what a wonderfully relaxed, friendly, ambitious and 'funny' group of women I was fortunate to hang out with!
Awesome!
I'm booking her soap making class in November also

This class was a birthday gift and we chose to book Elena for a private candle making class for the three of us! Elena is a wonderful teacher, passionate about her craft and we loved the experience. Fantastic to learn some of the more theoretical elements of candle making and a private class meant that we had more 1:1 time with Elena. She welcomed us into her home, we brought wine and nibbles and it was a fabulous afternoon!

The course was great and Elena was a great teacher, I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in candle making.
Giovanni Reyes • May 2019
Such a very heart warming welcome we got from the moment we stepped in to her cute little workshop. With her beautiful products of soap on display, I definitely felt inspired to bring out the artistic side of my being. Elena was very informative, detailed and down to earth. Bella, her gorgeous pup, even made me feel at home and homesick at the same time - snoring away while we melt and create our morning away! We even got some little giveaways to take home in addition to the candles we made. It was an absolute pleasure to sit Elena’s soy candle making class and would definitely recommend it. 5 star indeed!
Jessica Wood • May 2019

Annabel Salip • Apr 2019
Elena was wonderful and very experience. Her workshop had everything and the class was a good value. We got to take home our goodies and it was a enjoyable experience for those who are keen to learn candle making. It was worth it! Looking forward to her next class
Svetlana Sirijovski • Apr 2019
My young daughter and I spent a very fun afternoon learning the candle craft from a great teacher. The class was relaxed and very enjoyable for the both of us. It was very satisfying to walk away having learnt something new. I would highly recommend this class. We will definitely be doing more classes in the future.
Jos • Mar 2019
We had such a great time in our candle making class! Everything we needed was provided and we spent the whole 3 hours doing hands-on candle making. Have told heaps of friends about it!

I very much enjoyed this class with Elena! She was very knowledgeable and gave us great resources to conitnue to make soy candles at home. There was a huge array of fragrances to choose from and Elena helped us to make beautiful candles for ourselves. I am looking forward to trying out her soap making class also! The photos do not do the candles justice (one is unpictured as I already gave it away), I choose not to decorate mine but there were beautiful dried flowers to pick from.

Jinsiu Du • Jan 2019
Elena was a wonderful teacher - She was lovely, informative and made effort to make everyone feel comfortable. I brought my 10 year old daughter to the course and she loved it too. We walked away with 4 candles each, all different scents and learnt so much about where to buy the supplies if we wished to make more, how to make them properly and how to care for our candles. Her studio was a perfect size, we had 6 in our class and we all learnt so much. Thank you again so much Elena, we really loved your class and every time we use our candles, we will remember the lovely time we had.
Malua Setu • Jan 2019
Highly recommend the candle making class - it was fantastic and really good value. Elena the teacher was generous with her resources and advice. The result was 4 unique candles and the ability to choose from 50 fragrances and decorative elements. If you're lucky you may get a sample of her soap and bath bombs too.

Elena was a happy friendly teacher, who made us feel very comfortable. We had a great time learning how to make candles.
Ashima Chaudhary • Jan 2019
Great class, loved the experince. Bellanina is very knowledgeable and was able to answer so many questions for us and bust many myths about candle making. I did it with my 14 year old son as a school holiday activity and we had a great time. Cant wait till try out own candles.
Leane Dadd • Jan 2019
The candle course was great. The quality of material and instructions were excellent. The teacher was able to explain faults and techniques through her own trial and error. I am really happy with the 4 candles I made and feel confident to make them on my own. The teacher also makes soap and was very generous in giving the group some to take home.
I think the course would be even better if the teacher was able to teach more than soy wax candles. I would have liked to try making candles out of other wax ie Bees Wax.
Overall it was a great course and would recommend it to others.
Response from teacher: Thanks for your review. Please note that the class description clearly states that the candles will be made from soy
Kathleen Hanna • Dec 2018
Elena was a great teacher and explained everything really clearly.

This is my 2nd candle course as my 1st one was somewhere else but didnt feel I really learnt enough. This was another course. Also the candles made were very basic. But elena really explained exactly how to do the candle making really well. She made it enjoyable and the materials provided were excellent. The end result I had made 4 luxurious looking and smelling candles.
In Elena's studio its relaxed, easy going and great one to one tuition. She gives good advice and really helps you. She provides fresh fruit and herbal teas. I definitely would do another course with her. Highly recommend, lovely teacher.
Deena Mehjabeen • Dec 2018
The venue was homely and cozy. Elena is very friendly and served fruit and tea which was a nice welcome. Elena even gave me the soaps she makes which was a really sweet gesture and much appreciated. Bella the dog was too adorable. I got to learn all about candle making and what to think about before starting a business.

Elena was a great teacher - very pleasant and engaging. The venue was cosy, enough room for a small class of 5 which was perfect. Everything was provided for the class, enough to make 4 candles which was fantastic value (one is missing in my picture as it was still setting). There were many fragrances to choose from as well. My friend and I definitely came home with skills we could use again. I have already used one of the candles and it smells great and burns well - signs that the class was worth it! Thanks for a fun and creative class Elena!

Elena is so welcoming and is very generous with her time, knowledge and equipment! Her classes are perfectly paced and planned. Classes are very small and intimate and have a lovely atmosphere. We got to keep all of the candles we made (and we made heaps!). Overall a great way to spend an afternoon!
Nicole Leijen • Nov 2018
A great afternoon of fun and laughs, a very experienced lady who made you feel welcome. The candles you make and take home a great. Well worth the cost. Will recommend to friends and family.
Ashleen Singh • Nov 2018
Was an awesome candle making class. Clear instructions were provided and plenty of equipment available for all to use. Got to take home 4 scented candles, a couple of gifts and fruits and tea :) so worth it, great location, great tutor and super fun
Sarah Squire • Nov 2018
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Elena was so helpful and provided absolutely everything we needed. My friends couldn,t believe I had actually made the candles myself (with Elena's help)!

I was really excited about this class and attended with my son 11yrs. I did not know how much we would both actually enjoy it.
Set up in an intimate workshop environment perfect for candle makig with all the tools we could possibly need set up already for us. Along with notes. All we needed was a pen for additional notes and a nose to make the tough choice of what fragrance for our candles.
The beauty of this class was not that we made one candle, Elena had us make 4, different sizes and wicks. So by the end we understood what we were doing and how to make adjustments and measurements. Elena also bought a wealth of experience and hints and tips she generously shared that only experience can offer.
Elena our teacher was a delight, she ensured we were not only having a great time- that we were also really understanding the process and able to make decisions to do this at home. She made it really simple and as easy to follow as a recipe. There was another lady who had made some candles in the class as well and it was great how much she was adding to her knowledge as it was us learning the ropes.
Not only did we walk away with all this knowledge we walked away with 'store quality artisan candles' . My son and I were so impressed with ourselves. When we returned home we proudly displayed the candles and my husband rolled his eyes and said we went to the course to learn how to make candles, not buy them Imagine how shocked he was to learn they were the candles WE made BY OURSELVES Thank YOU Elena
It was a great afternoon and flew by and we are inspired to do more.
Danny Khem • Nov 2018
Elena was a lovely person, and very welcoming. The class was very informative, without being boring. She had a vast range of different fragrances to choose from and was more than happy to tell us where to get certain products/materials if we wish to make candles at home.
Scott Whitcombe • Nov 2018
I completed this course yesterday, Elena is a lovely person, a very good set up, and I highly recommend this course if you were wanting to make candles.
Yu Chan • Nov 2018
I had a very good experience attending this workshop! Elena was very friendly and very welcoming. She allowed us lot of time to select our chosen scents for the candles.She had many scents available and was very generous with materials for us to use. She walked through the candle making process ,list of tools needed and told us where to get all the materials needed so we will be able to start making candles at our own home. She also allowed us ample time to add finishing touches (dried flowers) to our candles. I would recommend this class to my friends who are interested to start making their own candles to also attend this workshop!
Thank you Elena :)
Louise Sherwin-Stark • Nov 2018
What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon and answer the question ‘how do they make candles?

Teacher was very generous with her time and info. Great class with fantastic insider info from a real candle maker. Got everything I need from the class to order equipment and supplies online and start my own candle making.
Sandie Tate • Oct 2018
Such a fun afternoon making divine candles. Elena made us all feel so welcome and by the time I left, I felt like I could easily create beautiful candles at home. I also left with the knowledge on where to purchase everything I would need to start my own hobby up. I am burning one of my candles now and my whole house is filled with the most heavenly scent. If you love candles and enjoy being crafty, pop along to Elena's and spend a few hours making new friends, learning how to make your own amazing candles, laughing and generally having a great time. I highly recommend this course.
Helen Hamilton-James • Oct 2018
there were lots of scents to choose from and we learnt a lot from Elena (bethany 9). great session, lots of fun and would highly recommend it. came away with 4 highly professional looking candles each and lots of new skills. Elena was very knowledgeable and welcoming (Helen)

Love this short course. Elena was very informative and knowledgeable in her teachings. With a warm and friendly energy. Really easy to learn. Excited in taking home my new knowledge of how I can start my own soy candle business. Really enjoyed her class. Best part was meeting Bella and even had tea time. Thanks Elena ✨
Chelsea Li • Oct 2018
Elena was so lovely and accomodating. She has everything set up to go and answered any questions we had about candlemaking. Definitely recommend.
Ilana • Oct 2018
i recently attended Elanas candle making workshop as part of a surprise hens activity for myself and my friends. I knew I wanted a creative workshop and this surpassed all my hopes. It was informative and a lot of fun mixing up 3 different candles from our chosen scents. We got to decorate them with flowers and put labels on our containers. The best part was for myself and my friends to be able to take home some momentos of the day (which smelt great! And looked so professional) . This workshop was different to the normal hens activities and was perfect for me.

Elena was wonderful. Very welcoming and I was instantly happy with my decision to go to her class. I felt very comfortable and learned a lot. All the materials were provided and I was able to take what I made home as well as smell a wider range of candle scents rather than stick to my classic favourites. I had no problem speaking to her or asking questions on how to better my candle products and she did not hesitate to provide all the answers for me. Really enjoyed it.

Elena was amazing in teaching how to make candles. Loved the fragrances she has (big range). And we took 8 big candles home and a lot of tea candles. Definitely recommending this class for anyone who wants to learn how to make candles.
Suzi • Sep 2018
I thoroughly enjoyed the candle making class with Elena. It was a very relaxing Sunday afternoon and Elena was a great teacher, with lots of ideas and hints, she definitely knows her stuff. The class notes are great. We made 4 different candles. The class is definitely value for money. The location and room was very nice. Only 3 students so it was very personalised. I had a great time and I would highly recommend Elena's course if you are interested in learning how to make candles.
Tracey • Sep 2018
Elena is a wonderful and personable teacher. She teaches and provides you with everything necessary to make candles, and also provides a handbook you can take away with you so you can continue to make candles after the class.
She has a wonderful range of scents for the candles, so you are sure to find something that you love. You also come away from the class with at least 4 candles, the whole session is such good value. Bella the dog and Aria the cat are also amazing class helpers ;) Thank you Elena for a great afternoon experience.
Joanne Luu • Sep 2018
Elena was an amazing teacher and taught us the top and tail of making candles. She has a huge variety of fragrances to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. The class goes at a leisurely pace, so it is perfect for a relaxing Sunday activity. The class price is very good value for money as we all went home with a box full of wonderful homemade candles (which would’ve cost much more in retail shops), and enough knowledge to make our own candles in the future. It is definitely a great class for beginners and I would recommend it to everybody.
Esther Chia • Aug 2018
The class was good value for money as we brought home one large, one medium, one travel tin, one shell and multiple tea candles.
It’s great for those who have no prior knowledge on how to make candles.
Linda Lo • Aug 2018
I was on holiday in Australia with my two children and I wanted to find something fun and unique to do. The candle making class with Elena was a nice surprise and we all had a fabulous time with lots of fun and laughter. Elena was very patient with the kids and explained everything in great detail. The candles turned out to be so beautiful and were perfect gifts for us to bring back home. I would highly recommend this class!
Rosina • Aug 2018
I had such a great time today! Elena was so much fun, she is so passionate and generous with her time and information. She invited me into her beautiful home which was full of her candle masterpieces and gorgeous smelling oils.
This class is excellent value for money and I am so pleased I did it and can't wait to get home and start creating my own!
Georgina Evans • Jul 2018
I had a wonderful afternoon learning how to make candles. The teacher Elena was patient and knowledgeable, the class was interactive and fun. I made 2 glass candles, 1 travel candle, 2 shell candles and tea lights. I chose my fragrances, melted and poured the wax, learnt about the ratio of fragrance to wax and how to secure the wicks. I even chose miniature dried flowers to decorate each candle. I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone interested in learning about candle making as a hobby or even as a business. I did this class one on one, Elena came to my house, spent 3 hours with me and brought everything we needed. She also holds classes for up to 6 in her own home. It is very good value for money at $150, considering I spend on average $40 for a store brought candle. Now I can make my own for friends and family. Candle making is a skill that keeps on giving.
Leonie Johnson • Jul 2018
My daughter and I had a great afternoon making candles with Elena. It was hands on and everything was explained clearly. All we needed was provided and we brought home 4 candles each. The afternoon was so enjoyable and Elena is lovely. Great fun, great conversation and beautiful candles! Thank you Elena!
Leonie and Sophie

Elena was a really fun teacher. She guided us clearly and was helpful every step of the way, also whenever there's a question she does her best to answer. The class was definitely worth it.
Jenny Evans • Jul 2018
This course is amazing! Elena made me feel incredibly welcome. She is so knowledgeable on all levels and makes the whole process fun and easy to follow. Everything that was needed to complete the class was on hand and you go home with a wonderful goodie bag filled with you own home made candles, which look very professional. I can'r recommend this course highly enough. Thank you Elena for a fantastic class and experience! x
Nicola • Jul 2018
The candle class was terrific, Elena is a very well prepared teacher and she also provides all the tools for the candle making. At the end of the class you are able to make few different types of candles, with lots of advice on where to buy the tools for a cheaper price.
Definitely no lowlights in this experience
Elena is very clear, passionate and funny and she let you make anything by yourself, so it's more easy to remember all the procedures and steps.
I was excited before starting, but the class was even better than I expected! Thanks Elena!

Bianca Centrone • Jun 2018
Fantastic class and wonderful experience! Elena was so bubbly, open and such a joy to learn from. She went out of her way to teach us the tricks of the trade and made it such a special day. With all the home-made goodies we took home, great value for money. We'll be back for sure!

Elena was welcoming and very happy to share everything about candle making, there was a large choice of fragrances to choose from and made several candles, would highly recommend.
FAQ
I wanted to ask if the soap making class uses essential oils (instead if fragrance oil) and what types of colorants eg micas.. and clays? Also do you use palm oil? Or can we use an alternative, thank you
Sam
Your teacher
I’m happy you asked me these questions and I’m happy to answer you.
I don’t use palm oil and good news there are many alternatives.
I use only essential oils for soap, no fragrances.
I use natural colourants like spirilina active charcoal and cocoa powder but
also Mica and clay.
I decorate the soap with organic dried flowers like calendula, lavender,
cornflower, chamomile and rose petal.
If you have any other questions I’m happy to hear them
