Isaac/Jay reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"Amazing course - Rob kindly came to pick us up from Leamington station, and we had a wander round the lovely farm setting before the course. He is very knowledgeable on the matter of candles, and was happy to answer any questions we had, as well as talking us through the in depth technical process of candle making. We made 5 candles in different colours and scents, which came out wonderfully, and Rob was more than happy to give us another go when one didn't go to plan. Tea and snacks were provided as well as toilet facilities! All in all would thoroughly recommend, thank you Rob!"

Susan Hall reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"Thank you so much for a brilliant morning attending the candle making work shop. Fun and informative and being able to be your creative self , learning from the master himself , Rob. Rob explained the different steps of candle making at an easy pace of understanding. How the process comes together, from choosing your moulds, types of wax, wicks , fragrances, melting , calculations, poring and leaving to set.

Lesley Rudd reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"We had a great time on the course last week. Rob was helpful and flexible from the moment I contacted him. He was happy to keep the day to just the four of us and we all had lots of fun learning new and different techniques, and we went away with a selection of candles all made ourselves - and fired up to try it at home. Rob is a fantastic candle maker and a terrific teacher making everything seem fresh and interesting. We all had different favourites, and mine is definitely the scented candles. I happily recommend this day too others and will come back for any advanced courses. Thanks very much from us all."

Sayyada Hassam reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"I thoroughly enjoyed the candle making experience at Rob's Workshop. It was a lovely morning where I was able to experience different techniques. We were all given enough direction to walk away feeling confident to start our own journey and enjoy making candles for ourselves. The session was well organised. It was lovely to walk away with our own :)."

Marie Price reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"I attended this course in Sunday 3rd March 2019 and found it to be very interesting. Rob welcomes the group with a very friendly manner which is always a good start. I have previously knowledge of makin candles but at a very novice level. The group was made up of 5 participants which was a nice number for the space we had. Rob was very open to any questions being asked and answered them in a very clear and simple way. I have now come away from the course very motivated to start up this hobby again and I would definitely recommend it to any beginners who wish to learn how to make candles."

The Wax Studio responded:

"Thanks for the review Marie, and I know from your follow-up emails that you are now making good progress with your own candle making at home! all the best, Rob"

Maria Wilkinson reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"I attended this course in October 2018 and had no knowledge of candle making at all . Rob was excellent giving you guidance throughout to make your own beautiful candles and explaining the process of candle making , He had a wealth of knowledge about his subject, and conveyed it well. Classes are kept small so you feel you are given utmost attention. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn the basics of candle making. Cant wait for a follow up course! Maria Wilkinson"

Monika Ferenczne Surinya reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"I found this course absolutely perfect for beginners. We have covered lots of things in couple of hours, including different kinds of wax, additives, how to use colours, scents, moulds, different techniques, etc. I came along with 5 beautiful candles made all by myself with the guidance of Rob, who is a kind and patient tutor, always happy to answer all kinds of questions. I would truly recommend his course to anyone who loves candles or want to start a business or just want to spend a morning really engaged and productive. Thanks very much Rob for your inspiring course! You helped us a lot!!"

The Wax Studio responded:

"Thank you Monika for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to have you on the course and best of luck with your lavender candles. Rob"

Sara reviewed: Candlemaking for Beginners

"Spent a brilliant morning learning all about different techniques and materials for making candles in Rob's wonderful workshop. We poured, sniffed, scented, coloured, moulded and dipped, coming away with a selection of very smart candles. Rob answered all the design, technical and marketing questions we fired at him, and has inspired my teenage son to get making in order to fundraise for a school trip. The perfect introduction to a new craft. Thank you for your generosity and hospitality, Rob, we had a fantastic time."

The Wax Studio responded:

"Hi Sara - thank you for your kind review. It was great to have you both on the course. I hope Max is able to use his new skills to raise some money for his challenge. Best wishes Rob"
