Who knew making candles would be so easy, great class for beginners and to walk away with a beautiful candle in a beautiful cup.

Great instruction, very easy to follow and love the scent! Came out better than a lot of store bought candles we have.
Claire Niven • Mar 2021
Simple easy to follow instructions, Tara is a great teacher who makes you feel welcome - quite a feat on Zoom. Answers questions and is obviously very knowledgeable on all aspects of candle making. I had enough wax to make another little candle but didn't have another pretty cup to put it in.
Izzy Iglesia • Dec 2020
Really enjoyed our class with Tara who had positive energy and great banter with the intern group. We were a big group of about 45 participants and Tara was patient with us and very informative and friendly. Thanks! Highly recommend this workshop :)
James Bebbington • Dec 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!

We loved this workshop A creative way for our business to spend some time together (virtually) and do something fun. Tara our host was so lovely, knowledgeable and down to earth and shared lots of extra tips and tricks for when we make some of our own candles.
A business that is also sustainable and environmentally friendly was a big bonus for us!
We’d happily do another one

Tara took us through a basic candle making technique, with a lovely Japanese pottery cup. Gave clear instructions and let us know where we can buy the products to make our own at home. And at the end a beautiful candle to use in the home.

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

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!
