Let me introduce myself, I am Victoria White, a one-woman dynamo/mad scientist/designer and maker of crafts. I am the owner of Masterful Makers and offer boutique workshops from my studio.
My love for art, the history of man and pretty shiny things came together while being pregnant with my daughter and working for the Museum of African American Art in Florida. I fell in love with African trade beads. They were historical in context and heavy with human drama. They were an artefact, an antique and pretty. Pairing the few trade beads I had with semi-precious stones and sterling silver wire I began to make my first wrapped earrings.
It was very therapeutic and relaxing until my husband (at the time) saw the box of earrings I had made and took them to work. He returned that afternoon and presented me with a box of money, after having sold them all to his work colleagues! And that is how all this madness began.
That was a bit over 25 years ago. And here we are now!
I have my BA in art history and a Diploma in Visual Arts and Silversmithing.
I use my workshops to pass on my skills and knowledge so that you too will see just how enjoyable being a Maker can be. Coming away with personally designed and created pieces.
I am Victoria White and Making is my passion, let me make it yours as well.
Victoria is lovely, she has a great new place. All materials was provided and I really enjoyed the class.

Victoria is a great and inspiring teacher, I learned so much from her! I had a great time and feel confident enough to try and make some candles myself at home.
I sure te commend her as a teacher!

This class was hugely overpriced and terrible value for money. The studio premises were tiny, dingy and cramped. There was no signage on the street front and we had to call to seek entry to the building. The class was advertised as a two and a half hour class, but after an hour and a quarter it was over. I expected to receive some guidance in fragrance mixing but all fragrances were pre-mixed and there was not a great selection from which to choose. So basically, we were shown how to melt wax, add fragrance, place a wick and pour wax into the vessel.
Victoria was bright and bubbly but this really was not worth the $170 per person. There were three of us so it was a very easy $510 for her for an hour or so with very little outlay. Not recommended.

Victoria was so helpful I asked to do something a bit different, and she got straight onto it and I now have all the information and great candles to move forward.
Thanks Victoria and staff

Victoria was lovely and fortunate to have one on one time with her. She also booked and arranged for supplies and happily guided me to what would work best to begin with. Really enjoyed the session.

The teacher knew her craft but not just candle making she had experience in other crafts and did not mind sharing stories.
The venue and equiptment was awesome and easy to find and use.
Content, company and vibe of the class is friendly, informative in a supportive home like enviroment.
I will hoghly recommend this class and teacher to all interested in candle making.
