Reviews for Old Bexley Soap Co.

I never imagined that candle making could be so exciting and challenging, the course is full of information and helpful tips.
Paula is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the whole process of creating the candles. I was very pleased with the end product which smelt lovely when I lit it. I'd definitely recommend this course and the candles as a product.

Well what a fabulous day I’ve had making soap with Paula in her beautiful home. I was so lucky to have received this as a gift from my friends. Paula is a fantastic teacher and so knowledgable and patient. She made my day so enjoyable and fun. She is also a great hostess. I felt so welcome and comfortable. Thank you Paula I’ll be back for the candle making X

Thoroughly recommend this course. I learnt so much and I can’t wait to get started at home. It was great fun and Paula is so friendly. The afternoon tea was fantastic.

I just have to say I loved the course, it was amazing I learnt so much, I feel 10 times more confident about making my own candles. Well worth the money. Emma

A very well organised candle making course with a first class afternoon tea! The course is well prepared, carefully resourced and very inspiring. I had the most relaxing day learning a new skill with a lovely group. I can´t wait to get started at home. Thank you.

My husband and I had a fabulous time with Paula on her soap making course. Nothing was too much trouble! She coped affably and patiently with all our enthusiastic questions and has definitely sparked an interest in a new skill for us. She gave us the confidence and extensive information for us to carry on soap making at home. I would thoroughly recommend this course and look forward to also attending her candle making course. The lovely tea was a pleasurable bonus.

I loved the course and I feel confident now to make my own soap!
Paula is a very knowledgeable instructor and her calmness and encouragement really made for a lovely learning environment. Thank you so much!
All best wishes. Teresa

If you are serious about candle making look no further, what an experience. I arrived with no knowledge or experience on candle making and came out with a wealth of information and very confident I can make my own candles and start my little candle business.
I would recommend this course 100%.
The afternoon tea we enjoyed at the end was better than most afternoon teas I have tried in London!

Thank you so much for a wonderful time - your level of organisation, preparation and welcome were well above lots of previous courses i've been on - the tea was such a wonderful thing and so beautifully served.

I very much enjoyed myself and am pleased with my final product. I will definitely be coming on a candle making workshops sometime next year.

A great morning / afternoon making soap with the very lovely Paula.

Small group size giving us all enough attention and a wonderful afternoon tea too.

Fabulous day and i will be coming back to make candles.

What a fantastic soap making course. From start to finish, in a beautiful setting, Paula delivers the course in a knowledgeable and friendly manner. You learn the science and art of making soaps and come away with at least 8 bars of your own soap. Adding in afternoon tea makes it a very special session and you don’t go home hungry. Thank you for your hospitality and having me! x

This is the second of Paula's courses I have attended (the first was the soap making which I really enjoyed). Paula is an excellent host and teacher.
The candle making process was explained really well with lots of information re safety, regulations, suppliers etc given.
I really enjoyed making the candles to take home, they look and smell beautiful. Am now looking forward to making my own soy candles.
I totally recommend Paula's courses 100%.

This is an excellent course and I would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to make soap. Paula is a very knowledgable and friendly tutor. She makes you feel very welcome indeed. The course is very comprehensive and you leave feeling confident that you can go home and safely make your own soap bars.
There’s also a delicious homemade spread waiting for you at the end of the session, which you’ll be ready for!

I have made two batches of soap since attending Paula's soap making course two weeks ago. She was very knowledgeable and a great tutor so that making my own with her instructions and advice was not too difficult.
I thoroughly recommend this course and it is also very easy to get to by train.

My daughter and I attended Paula's candle making course recently as we both love candles and thought it would be a nice thing to do. What a lovely way to spend 4 hours on a Saturday! Paula provided all of the equipment, ingredients and plenty of information plus lots of tips for making the perfect candle. The day was well paced and relaxed and the afternoon tea was wonderful! I would definitely recommend Paula and this course and look forward to attending other workshops in the future.
