5/5 from Teresa Hayes, attended Feb 2025: We enjoyed our candle making class. Our teacher was very encouraging and supported us to create a pretty candle with a secret message. We melted the wax, selected a colour and a scent to add to the melted wax prior to pouring it into a lovely ceramic vessel. There was a range of ceramic pieces to select from, just as there was a diverse range of colours and scents to select from to create a candle. I was also able to select from some smaller wax pieces and dried flowers to decorate my candle. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
5/5 from Lisa Cuteri, attended Jun 2024: Enjoyable and fun experience. Private session with my 11yo daughter the host was patient, calm and explained everything very well. We made beautiful candles.

Incense Making: Blend natural scents that have perfumed Chinese temples and homes for centuries.
Wax Making: Craft candles inspired by the ones that have illuminated China’s past.

And more...
