I have been holding regular candle making workshops in St Albans and Berkhamsted since 2018 alongside private events and one-to-one sessions throughout Hertfordshire. The workshops are fun and much more than than just making candles - new people to meet, maybe seeing a different part of the county and a relaxing time focusing solely on candle making for a morning. You may even find yourself as passionate about candles as I am! NB I reply privately to each person who leaves a review and this is not seen on the website.

"This was a fantastic experience! I bought three spaces for myself, my mum amd daughter for Xmas and we all loved it! Anne the teacher was so knowledgeable and patient and all the equipment was set us beautifully for us. We made 3 candles plus some wax melts and got to experiment with different scents and colours. A super morning and we met some lovely people too! Thank you Anne."

"The beginners' candle making workshop was a wonderful way to spend our morning. Anne is a great teacher, explains every stage very clearly and shares her experience and knowledge in a really engaging way. There were just the right number of people on the course, we all got individual help when needed and there was a beautifully organised "work station" for each person. We made 4 different types of candle to bring home and they are all lovely. Will definitely be coming to another course to learn more."

"Loved the course & Anne was a great tutor who gave us lots of information. I had no idea about the techniques of candle making & once you have this information ( from an expert) this is something anyone can do at home. I'm really smitten by the candle making bug. We made 4 different candles & melts all with our chosen Christmas scents. Thank you Anne"

"Fantastic beginner's candle making session with Anne. She was informative and patient whilst I asked lots of questions. I really liked the size of the class too, small enough to be intimate but big enough to see what everyone else is doing and learning from all the variables from the rest of the group. "
