"Jo was a fantastic host and teacher explaining all the elements of not only making candles but also what to do and not to do if you’re thinking of starting a business. Very helpful and informative session and also bonus of gorgeous candles that you make to take home! Would highly recommend this workshop "

"Candle making is such amazing fun, had an amazing day and come home with loads of goodies! This would be great for all ages, go with friends & family or alone and meet others! Jo & Jo are great & have such amazing knowledge about all there is to know candles, I learnt a lot. The venue has a real cosy & homely feel. Would definitely recommend! "

Esme and Nicky reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I would thoroughly recommend this course! Jo is a brilliant teacher who creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere, and conveys a huge amount of knowledge which draws on her own real life experience. The ‘lesson plan’ for the day covered a lot of really useful information, but Jo was also extremely helpful in answering any wider questions that we had, and was very willing to share from her own previous experience. The locally made sandwiches and cakes were also delicious, and we felt well fuelled throughout the day! We came away feeling both inspired and equipped! "

Andy Green reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"This is a brilliant little course, hosted by somebody that clearly works far too hard. Jo is very passionate about what she does and anybody that is thinking about doing this course, needs to get booking. Good things don’t last forever. Food, tea, coffee and cold drinks are in abundance and you will be well and truly catered for. Everything you need to get you started, in constructing your business plan as well as the basics in candle making will be afforded to you. You will not be an expert when you leave, but you will have the tools to learn your craft. You will leave with plenty of information, pointing you in the right direction to make you successful and I was surprised at how much information Jo yielded about her business. Very few other business owners would deliver this level of open and honest, trade secret sharing. Don’t hesitate, get booking. "

The White Candle Company responded:

"What a lovely review - thank you so much :) I do believe in honesty, it's a warts and all course! I truly am very proud when I see people go off on their own journeys and have enough confidence in my own business to not worry about competition! It was lovely to meet you and I'd be really interested to know how it goes from hereon. Take care lovely. Best wishes, Jo x"

Tiffany reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I had the pleasure of attending Jo’s candle making course recently. Jo was really knowledgeable about her craft and taught me so much useful information that I wasn’t aware of. She is a real expert in her field and was super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be putting all she taught me to good use. Thank you so much Jo :) "

Jo K Bloomfield reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Hi Jo, I just wanted to thank you for your time and knowledge during the “candle making as a business” course on Friday last week. You were very welcoming and very generous with your skills and knowledge. I loved every minute of it from the lovely location and your workshop to the lunch which was delicious, I’m just sad I didn’t try the cake ! I have definitely learnt a lot and more importantly testing which was an unknown territory for me. I love the oil burner I bought and have very much enjoyed the candles I bought for myself too, energise is just lovely. You are very talented Jo. I’ll definitely be back when I’m ready for a 1-1. If anyone is contemplating booking this course… do it ! You most definitely won’t regret it. Thank you again and if I don’t speak before, have a wonderful holiday you most definitely deserve it. Warm regards Jo KB"

L.Rai reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Jo was amazing I loved every minute of the course. She is organised, knowledgeable and friendly. As a beginner I asked loads of very simple questions and she made me very comfortable to ask as much as I needed. It was a pleasure meeting Jo and the three hour drive to her and back was worthwhile I will most likely rebook when I'm ready to start my company, thank you Jo"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review, it gave me a real boost this morning! So nice to have met you and I wish you every success going forward. x"

Susan reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"A fantastic day. I highly recommend this course. It was relaxing and fun but most importantly really informative. Jo was happy to answer lots of questions and was really honest whilst also being encouraging and supportive. I have spent most of the week since attending the course researching materials and experimenting with making candles - be warned it is quite addictive! Feeling inspired and enthusiastic - thank you for this Jo."

Bex reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Thank you Jo for such a fantastic candle making course! It was a really informative day & I learnt so much. Jo was so friendly & I would 100% recommend this course to anyone! X"

Nicky Thorpe reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I highly recommend this workshop with Jo. I was booked onto the workshop a year ago and due to the pandemic wasn't able to attend. I am already making candles and running a business however, l learnt lots of things and came away motivated and energised to create new products. Jo is friendly, easy to talk to and ask questions. I am so glad I attended."

Christine @ Coco Gifts reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I found this course to be exactly what I was looking for, a very professional insight into the nitty gritty of candle making for anyone wanting to sell to the public. Jo was very friendly, and the groups are extremely small, so you get to ask questions and chat as much as you want. It was a really enjoyable day, but very informative...not at all intimidating for anyone with no knowledge of candle making. I would recommend for anyone. Jo is very honest, answers all your questions, and has a wealth of credible knowledge. I searched for ages online looking for a proper candle making course that was not just a hen party style play around for a couple of hours, and have not come across anyone else who offers such a professional course for serious business start ups. I could not recommend more! And the sandwiches and cakes were super too... what more could you ask for!"

Zoe D reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Highly recommended, whether you are doing this for yourself or as a potential business. Jo is so lovely and friendly and puts you right at ease. She is so knowledgeable and explains everything simply for you, so it is easy to learn from her. Lots of helpful hints and tips too regarding, little tricks and websites to turn to for help and items. I came away totally inspired, and excited for my new venture. I am already working on my candle testing/Stock and am speaking to a designer regarding my logo and labels.. Excited for what the future may hold. Thanks Jo, I will be keeping an eye out for any future courses!"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Hi Zoe Thank you so much for this lovely review. I wish you lots of luck going forward and can't wait to see what you come up with. Do keep in touch and send me pics! Best wishes Jo xx"

Sharon reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I highly recommend this course. I'm a beginner at candle making so the wealth of knowledge Jo shared is going to be invaluable. It was a relaxed session, with just 3 participants so there was plenty of time to ask questions and it was great meeting others also on the candle making journey. I'm also looking forward to lighting the 4 beautiful candles we made to take home. A really inspiring course. Thanks Jo."

"I decided to go on this course as it’s fairly local and I’m so glad I did. The course is so informative and Jo made the course fun and inspiring. You just want to get out there and get started on candlemaking. A delicious lunch was included and I went away at the end with my first wax creations. Totally enjoyable day and would definitely recommend."

Emma Khan reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Highly recommended! There are many candle making courses out there, but I'm so glad I picked this one! I chose this course over others to learn about the business side of things, as well as making candles. Jo's knowledge is invaluable in this department and was happy to answer all questions in depth. For anyone embarking on their candle making career, this really is a fantastic course. The day was thoroughly enjoyable; we made a variety of candles and wax melts and came away with a lovely goodie bag and gorgeous products, that I can't believe I actually made! Thank you Jo for a fantastic day!"

Michelle - Mish reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Wow, what can I say a truly fantastic day in a beautiful setting. You think you know how to make candles and then you attend Jo’s course and realise you know nothing! She explained everything so thoroughly and also offered valuable advice, whether you need the course for just making candles for yourself or setting up a new business ??"

Donna Dickens reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I love candles and was bought this as a present from the hubby. The workshop is set in a beautiful little village. It was absolutely amazing... I loved the day! I just love candles and did not realise there was so much involved... or that I was doing everything wrong from how I burned them to how I extinguished them! Jo is an awesome Tutor and a lovely person. I learned so much from this course.... I will definitely be back."

The White Candle Company responded:
