Balqisa reviewed: Natural soap & cosmetic products workshop

"What a beautiful day, Had the best time at crafters cottage making soaps and natural body care products. Julie and Jools were so welcoming and I had the best day ever and I did what I was dreaming for. Julie was very knowledgeable, helpful and the way she taught was amazing. It was a very fun and interesting workshop and also full of handy tips and information we need to take at home. I had the best experience. I was away from my 6 month baby and it was worth it. I will definitely come back again and I would thoroughly recommend to my friends. "

"We had an incredible time learning about soap making. Julie was a fantastic teacher and was very patient with all of us as we made our own soaps. The experience is great and I'd really recommend this for anyone interested - it's a great introduction. The lunchtime food was also lovely and thoughtful. "

"We had a wonderful time on Julie’s soap making course yesterday. She explains things so well as well as providing handouts with a promise of more to follow. We have come home with 8 lovely soaps each and plans to book on her candle making course"

Francesca reviewed: Natural soap & cosmetic products workshop

"What a lovely day! Had the best time at crafters cottage making soaps and natural body care products. Julie and Janet were so welcoming and lovely. Julie was very knowledgeable and led the workshop in a really fun and interesting way but also full of handy tips and information we needed to know if we wanted to make our own products afterwards. It was great that we were in a group of 8 which meant that we made some really nice connections with each other but also small enough to be able to ask Julia any questions we needed to. A really lovely day that I would thoroughly recommend! "

"This was such a fun course, honestly had the best time ever. Attended with a friend as a part of her surprise birthday treat and she loved it. We got to make and take home so many goodies; I’ve gave mine to some of my family members who love the products. The afternoon tea provided was divine! My only complaint is that we have to walk through the shop which is full of goodies and I couldn’t help splurge on the amazing products they had! Went home with too many shopping bags!! Haha, thanks so much for an amazing time. 10/10 defo recommend!"

Crafters Cottage Holmfirth responded:

"Aww. Thank you for your lovely review and so glad you both enjoyed the workshop. You were a lovely group of ladies, a little bit messy! But great fun. You are more than welcome any time x"

Sharon reviewed: Container candlemaking course and wax melts with afternoon tea

"It was a wonderful day and I learnt so much! Julie was inspirational and her passion for the subject was infectious. The range of candles, melts and other items we were able to make throughout the workshop was impressive, as was the access to all Julie's amazing resources! The huge afternoon tea provided was delicious too! It was all certainly excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it! "

Sarah Sayer reviewed: Natural (cold process) soap making workshop with afternoon tea

"I received this cold process making course as a Christmas gift and what a fabulous gift this was. Julie’s course was well thought out, personal and a lovely way of spending a rainy morning. The whole process was explained and demonstrated, with support given throughout your own practical time. Julie shared some excellent top tips, and showed us how to finish our creations with beautifully simple packaging. The afternoon tea was simply divine and there was some left over to take home. I’d highly recommend any of the courses Julie provides as she shows you how to learn a new skill in such a supportive and fun way. We had lots of laughter and found a creative way to spend a rainy day."

"Hello, l had a wonderful experience at this course, l really enjoyed it me and my daughter, she wouldn't stop telling me what a lovely time she had.

Sue Chater reviewed: Container candlemaking course and wax melts with afternoon tea

"A very enjoyable day spent with 5 strangers, two friends and one tutor. We learnt so many things connected to successful candle making through the expertise and knowledge of our friendly tutor. The time went so quickly but it slowed down to eat our picnic tea and then off we went candle making again. We finished the course as new friends and very proud owners of our candles."

Sheryl reviewed: Container candlemaking course and wax melts with afternoon tea

"My daughter and I attended the Candle Making course on 31st July and really enjoyed it. What a lovely, friendly atmosphere and a perfect setting. Julie is a great teacher. There were clear and easy to follow demonstrations and we're over the moon with our makes. Afternoon tea was provided and was good. Also thanks to Janet who was assisting Julie. Can't wait to get started making our own candles to gift to friends and family."

Patricia reviewed: Container candlemaking course and wax melts with afternoon tea

"Loved this class. Julie supplied everything we needed to make beautiful candles and melts, including dried flowers, glitter and scents. Had a lovely, relaxed few hours and copious amounts of tea (we were all tea bellies) from Jane (Julie's lovely assistant). Lunch was a lovely picnic box which included sandwiches, cake, savoury biscuits, yogurts, fresh fruit and fruit tarlets plus bottled water..... and more tea!! Would definitely recommend this course, not just for those wishing to start their own business but also those of us that just want to create candles and melts for family and friends - and ourselves."

So looking forward to using my melts and candles. The lunch was yummy, and very filling and lots of tea and coffee available. Highly recommend this workshop"
