This was such good fun. We all had a blast. The cups were beautiful and the scents were so lovely. Tara was a legend in organising all the kits, making sure it arrived on time and taking us through the process super clearly!

Loved this This was a birthday present and being in Melbourne this was a great treat.
Julie Fehlberg • Oct 2020
I really enjoyed this class, Tara was knowledgeable and took her time to teach us about making soy candles - learned a lot about temperatures and how to choose the right wick and how much fragrance to add. I particularly appreciated the Japanese ceramic tea cup that we used, and can re-use for a tea cup! Thank you. Have left a photo of my candle - it has already had a workout!

A lovely, short class. In just under 40mins I had a lovely-scented soy wax candle of my very own making, cooling on the counter!
Really informative, easy teaching style, and all done safely isolated from my own kitchen via zoom. One of my favourite birthday presents

Ewan Hartono • May 2020
Tara was such a great teacher in the class - taught us a lot about the process of candle-making including how the indgredients are all organic (soy wax and essential oils, etc.). She also shared about her passion for her business which makes it that extra interesting. We felt like we made a little craft of our own in just under 1 hour and came away knowing how to make our own candle mix. Priceless experience thanks to The Provider Store! ️
Annabelle McNamara • May 2020
What a fantastic class! Well paced, informative, fun and I have a beautiful smelling and looking candle at the end of it!

Melissa Ould • May 2020
Fun and something out of the ordinary. Easy step by step instructions All from the comfort of my home. Not to mention everything smells divine
Amelia Robson • May 2020
So enjoyable! Tara is warm and enthusiastic and even though it was via Zoom, it didn’t feel impersonal at all. It was all very easy - I received an email asking which scent I’d like, then a box with all the supplies arrived promptly in the mail! The steps were simple to follow and at the end you get a beautiful scented candle in a Japanese ceramic cup. Can’t wait to do it again when we can do a face to face class, but in the meantime this was perfect.
Tian Lu • May 2020
Tara is an amazing, charming, welcoming teacher. We had fun in class and are left with unique, beautiful candles. Looking forward to visiting her workshop sometime!
