Great teacher with so much experience which she very happily shared with everyone in the class. Great fun making the candles. We used a very "user friendly" wax which made the experience so easy and a lovely receptionist who welcomed us and took us through their shop front with availability of stock. Highly recommended.

This workshop was a lovely way to spend a chilly Melbourne Sunday morning at Gas Works. Frosa, the teacher was very knowledgeable, helpful and explained the processes clearly. Now I've got to wait a couple of weeks before I can test the four candles I made today. Thank you.

- Very knowledgeable Teacher.
- Great range of fragrances to select from.
- Great way to learn and experience candle making

Ava Tehiko-Fisher Jan 2021


Great class, we were doing the activity as the class was being taught, I think if it was a designated step by step class this would have worked better for us rather than trying to remember each step afterwards on our own, especially for younger aged students

The class and teacher Ferosa were great.
Enjoyed the class thoroughly.
Everything was provided and the venue was good.

Cigdem Aktar Dec 2020


We had an excellent time with my friend! The teacher was knowledgeable, and happy to help when we had questions. I would expect more attention from the teacher to check if we are doing everything right, so not just when we ask the questions.

The location was a little difficult to find. But the studio was quite large and spacious.

We had so much fun with my friend choosing the fragrances and making the candles.

I would recommend this class.

Olga Plyatsko Dec 2020


Frosa's Candle Making Workshop was an absolute delight to attend. It was so satisfying to learn the beautiful art (and science) of how to make your very own candles, in such an interactive and creative space.

Krosa was always available to help answer any questions and her passion to share her knowledge with others is a true gift.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience, would highly recommend this workshop!

Informative session. Thank you. Yes quite a lot to take in for an online lesson without actually doing it in class with the teacher guiding through. Mia tried making 2 candles straight after class with friend Luca so this is great. For the price,
would be helpful to have a follow up lesson/ call so that Mia could ask any questions after her own hands on making. Wondering if we could have the list of suppliers/ contacts so that we could order the materials to make the candles again. Thank you. Mum Serena

Wow, where to start! So much information, and even more inspiration. I'm so excited to get started and feel confident to go it alone. I have been provided with extra information as a reference point to keep me on track, and a sheet of frequently asked questions if needed. The teacher has provided us with information as to where I can purchase additional supplies, and made herself available for any further help I may require. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and a very informative class.

Kit was fantastic, downloaded book great, class informative, really enjoyed the presentation, first candle made, many more to come

We had an excellent time! The teacher was knowlagable, and happy to help when we had questions.

The location at Gasworks was a little difficult to find, but the teacher happily took our call and directed us.

The actual class was great too We had so much fun choosing fragrances and getting the pour right

I think it was good value for money, especially given that we go to take home several candles and tealights that we’d made during the class. I was surprised by how well mine turned out!

I would have appreciated a slightly longer/more in-depth introduction to the chemistry and theoretical background before we started making (e.g. benefits of soy wax over other kinds, specific implications of using pure soy wax), but understandably we also needed enough time for actually making our candles.

Something I would have found helpful is a whiteboard or similar containing large print version of the key info we needed to keep referring back to during the class (the steps in making a candle starting with measuring the diameter of the jar; the amounts in grams of wax to fragrance for different candle sizes).

Melanie Meens Nov 2019


Great fun, highly organised & very informative. Frosa was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for her and no question to silly. I would definitely recommend!
