My first attempt at Candle making and it was great. Interesting with good tuition and notes to bring home. Venue was very suitable size wise and easy to find. The break for coffee and cake was unexpected but appreciated. Cake was homemade too!

I got this course for my wife, and she absolutely loved it. The teacher was excellent, venue was easy to find and all materials were provided. She came home with lots of candles which was great. Definitely worth the money.

Fabulous class with a lovely group of strangers! Our instructor was fantastic, welcoming and happy to share her knowledge.

Great session with Mel with a well equipped setup for each person including a wide range of scents and colours. Mel was knowledgeable and openly shared her top tips (and traps) for successful candle making. She also provided detailed written resources. Walked away with candles, melts and supplies to make more at home. Also joined the FB group for ongoing Q&A. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in candle making.

Organic Lipbalms and Body Scrub Making Class

Excellent teaching. All equipment provided and explained in detail. Support given when required. Melanie was very supportive and helpful I would go to her classes again. A morning well spent.

Hannah Dent • Apr 2022

It was a great class, had so much fun making lip balms and body scrubs and learning about essential oils and different scents.
The teacher, Melanie, is super friendly and helpful during the class, and love that she explains the process when making the product.
Would definitely recommend going along to the classes, it's a relaxed environment and you have fun making different products

Lynda Marchi • Apr 2022

The class was great and we enjoyed it so much. It would be nice to have a bit more for morning tea - such as some fruit with the apple pie.

I have always wanted to make candles so I joined class Bento and chose a Dragonfly creative workshops to show me how to create candles. The venue was held at the country womens association hall in Petrie. Be an early bird or park across at the train station as the venue is light on parking.
That said, the teacher Mel was absolutely lovely and most informative. There was an abundance of good quality materials to choose from and the class was good value for money. The beginners candle making class was a lot of fun and I learnt a lot. It fueled my curiosity to ask a lots of questions and Mel answered all my questions making me want to come back for more. Thanks Mel see you soon!

This class was so much fun. The teacher and her assistant are really friendly and so helpful with every aspect of the candle-making. The candles are beautiful and were very enjoyable to make. Rae.

Raeleen Fletcher • Mar 2022

The teacher (Mel) and her assistant (Anita) are fantastic! They are friendly, warm, and encouraging. There are so many fragrances, flowers, molds, and colours to choose from that I could literally create hundreds of soap styles. I absolutely loved it! Rae

Rebecca Obrien • Mar 2022

This class was a lot of fun and even though some of the techniques were a little tricky, the lovely Mel and her helpers were on hand to assist. I can’t wait to light my amethyst candle! The materials are top quality and the atmosphere relaxed. I’ll be back to do many more classes with Mel.

What a great way to spend an afternoon. Super friendly instructors, great array of supplies to choose from and very interactive. Completed items to take home as well as printed instructions. Supplies on hand for buying if desired. Would highly recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to make a totally different style of candle. Well done Mel.

It was amazing experience of making soap with my mum. My mother doesn’t speak English well but Melanie was very good in explaining each steps without any rush . Everything was very well organised, beautiful setting so everyone can talk to each other and enjoy the experience. Generous amount of soap to take home .We will definitely try other classes. Thank you for giving this experience.

Marian Holzberger • Jan 2022

The venue was good and enjoyed sitting out on the patio with the other 3 ladies. I was a bit disappointed with the teacher as I felt she spent a lot more time inside with the other group. I know I needed more help than what was given

Kelly Pritchard • Jan 2022

Easy to find, friendly atmosphere. All the tools and equipment you need, bring home two finished pieces.

Cathy Hill • Jan 2022

Great location. Everyone was at different stages so sometimes hard to keep up.
Recommend arriving a little earlier to snag the best equipment and moulds etc.

Kate Smith • Jan 2022

Very knowledgeable teacher. Great venue. All materials provided, including a wide range of colours and fragrances.

April Christie • Dec 2021

Friendly welcoming atmosphere. I felt the instrument could have been more detailed/specific. Class time needs to be longer and what is advertised needs to be reflected in the class.
Teacher was warm which I appreciated.

Reply from this teacher:

Hi April,

Thank you for your feedback…I will use it to help improve what I offer to clients in the future.

The Jewellery classes are indeed quite intricate and time consuming. These projects are also quite hard to explain in written documents.

I’ve taken note about the comments re: the time frame for the class. I was willing to keep going longer on the day but I understand if you had subsequent commitments that were already planned.

I will aim to put a note on other bookings saying that the time required for the class can be shorter or longer than advertised based on many factors.

I’ve dropped you a couple of messages to rebook another session (no charge of course) to finish the project off so let me know when you are free.

Fantastic class! Mel was very knowledgeable and took her time to coach us through the art of making soap. The hints & tips were invaluable and the products used were in line with my 'non toxic' values. A winner in my eyes!
