Tina Macinnes reviewed: Creative Fused Glass for beginners and improvers

"I thoroughly enjoyed this creative glass workshop ! Nadine is full of knowledge and makes it a fun few hours where you create your own designs and be inspired by others. I had no idea there was so much to know about glass, we could have gone on for much longer ! Would definitely recommend this as a class for yourself or friends , groups or a gift for someone. Will be back to do another one in the new year, if not before !! Thank you Nadine"

Jenny Fitzgerald reviewed: Beginners Christmas Large Chunky Wreath Kit

"The kit arrived in good time and was beautifully packaged, and all the components were lovely. The videos provided were very clear and not too quick, so I got the hang of it very quickly! And the resulting wreath looks lovely!"

Pauline Astle reviewed: Soap Making Course for beginners with Soap Ingredients Kit

"Because of current restrictions, the course was online which had the advantages of not having to travel and my daughter could join in too! It was really good value for money with a detailed information booklet and video from which we were able to make our first basic batch of soap, followed up with a one to one online tutorial. Making our first batch from the instructions and video was great fun and gave me a good understanding of the process before my online tutorial with Paula. She took me through the factors involved in varying recipes and I planned a couple of recipes with Paula's help based on my personal preferences. The tutorial was scheduled to suit me and lasted as long as I needed (two and a half hours) which enabled me to ask questions and ensure that I understood everything clearly to make more soap variations. Paula is so passionate about what she does and she has really inspired me to experiment with soap making further. I can't wait to get started!"

Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. responded:

"Thank you Pauline, I enjoyed teaching you. Best of luck with your new experiments."

Margaret Jones reviewed: Christmas Twist Beeswax Candle Making Kit.

"Bought these for isolated mother and mother in law who were fed up! I wanted something beautiful and practical, that they could make and feel a sense of achievement without having to spend long hours as too big a project is beyond them right now. Worked perfectly - they loved getting the parcel and making the candles and apparently my Christmas presents from them are now sorted (wonder what that could be...!) Very impressed with presentation and quality - thank you"

Rowhill Candles responded:

"Many thanks for your review, which is appreciated. I was pleased to hear that both recipients of your gift enjoyed making the candles. Brian - Rowhill Candles."
