Lesley reviewed: Beginner's Candle Making Private Workshop - Marlow, Buckinghamshire

"I did a Christmas workshop at the weekend and it was wonderful. I have previously attended a course in the summer and both courses are highly recommended, fun and very good value in my opinion. I came away with some lovely little gift ideas and inspiration and advice for continuing to make my own creations. Lesley"

Candle by Events responded:

"Hi Lesley, thank you for your kind feedback, it was lovely seeing you again on Saturday. Good luck with your candle making, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Sarah"

"My friend and I really enjoyed our morning with Sarah. Everything was perfect from the warm welcome to her explaining about different waxes and methods of candle making. I came away with a lot more knowledge and confidence to have a go at making candles for my personal use. Thank you Sarah xx"

"I really enjoyed doing the course. Sarah presented various techniques really well and everything was provided for us all to make four types of lovely candles. It has got me feeling passionate about making lots of my own creations and I am looking forward to doing the Christmas workshop. I thought the course was inspirational and very good value for money."
