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!

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.

Very informative teacher. Only a small group so it was a relaxed and fun atmosphere to learn and create in. Generous amount of fragrances and colours to choose from when making our candles.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

Introduction to Jewellery Making Class
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.
