  • 5/5 from Bishal Bhansali, attended Mar 2022: Vishakha was very welcoming, she had everything beautifully setup for us in her penthouse balcony with 270 degree city views. We had a bit of a chat over her self blended herbal tea as we waited for others to join. As we started, the surprise goodie bags of handmade gifts awed us all. She explained everything step by step and took us through the process of candles-making right from where to source the quality materials from, the measurements, the formula, the science behind the right wick size, what temperature to heat the wax upto, when to mix the fragrances and the dyes, what temperature for pouring, when to put the deco's as well as how to rescue your candles in case you miss those timings. The tops came out clean the first time right and it made me only proud as this is my first attempt at making candles. We carried all of our creations home, which was 3 bowl candles and 2 jar candles plus 3 fragrance blocks and a couple of tea-lights so it's a lot for the price I paid. I thank her for the amazing workshop and highly recommended her classes.
  • 5/5 from Diana Khoury, attended Mar 2022: Thank you vishakha for an informative and fun lesson, thank you for your time and kindness.
  • 5/5 from Joanne Ishac, attended Mar 2022: Best experience and very helpful. Really enjoyed learning with Vish. highly recommend doing a class with Vish

I have always had that intuitive urge to 'create' something with a purpose: a new vegetarian recipe, a cake that would still be calorie-friendly, a soap that would nourish my skin with essential oils, a paining that would tell a story of my childhood, a candle that would smell divine?
By day, I'm fully immersed in the world of ICT (Information & Communications Technology), helping product teams develop outstanding software applications that enhance user experiences. On occasional weekends or during my moonlight hours, I find immense joy in hosting craft workshop experiences at my charming apartment in Sydney or setting up a retreat for you to connect with yourselves or your loved ones over a craft therapy with my cutie vintage retro caravan somewhere in the Kangaroo Valley or Blue Mountains :)
It's my way of pursuing my passions (thank God I found a way), do what I love (or else no point yea), exercise my entrepreneurial skills (or at least I would think so), stay emotionally healthy (this one is real), meet new people (when Sydney reportedly is world's 3rd worst city to forge new friendships), and do my bit of raising funds for Dementia and promoting mental health. For I believe the new luxuries are truly the experiences, freedom and health.
In my journey of hosting these unique experiences in Sydney together with my partner Bob, we have come across a range of creative people, many of whom discovered things to be a fun hobby and some who have taken it further and started selling stuff online.
Our pursuit of the little joys of life continues as we eagerly anticipate sharing these experiences with you!
