Rosie reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I booked this course as gift for my mum and I to help get our creativity flowing before Christmas. We had a wonderful evening, Jo made us feel welcome and relaxed and was very informative - we learnt much more than we expected about candles and candle making. We made some fabulous products to gift to friends and family... and for us too, our homes now smell amazing. Thank you Jo!"

Evelyn Davies reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"This was such a lovely, warm, relaxing and informative day and with all the incredible scents it felt like a relaxation course. I am really pleased that I signed up for this course, Jo was brilliant. Jo was a very good teacher and was well prepared with everything we needed to hand. Jo happily shared her knowledge and experience as well as a wealth of stories. We seemed to cover so much in one day. We made some fantastic candles and melts which were totally unique as we all handpicked our embelishments and fragrances and got to take them all home! I think this course would be a perfect present for someone! I now feel confident to make my own products and can't wait to get started, initially making gifts for friends and family, then moving onto more saleable products."

Kelly Fairbrother reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"What can I say...so so glad I attended this course! Firstly Jo is lovely, such a warm welcome and happy to share her experience and knowledge completely freely. Personally I had watched every YouTube video, Googled everything I could think candle making related and followed every possible social media group I came across. For me the result was a scrambled mess of ‘knowledge’ with conflicting advice not to mention different countries so different rules!! Spending the day with Jo gave me the correct knowledge and confidence to move forward with my ideas and start testing ready to finally start selling in the future. Thanks again Jo x"

Jackie Sweeney reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I travelled over from Ireland especially for this course. Jo is an absolute lady and so inspiring. The business she has built up from incredible hard work and dedication is evident. She was so informative with all of her advise and helped iron out all of the queries I had so that I now have the confidence to get down to work and take the next step. Very enjoyable day with very good company. Jo deserves every success."

Louise reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"When we attended the workshop due to the corona virus numbers were kept low, we were so thankful Jo still ran the workshop for us. What an experience, from the wonderful setting to the welcoming company from both Jo and Blossom is really was the prefect setting to take in the info on candle making. We chatted the whole time none stop, we went away with so much info we really did learn so much from it. Jo’s knowledge is fantastic all our questions answered and more. Thank you so much, we highly recommend the workshop ?"

Ree reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I attended the course with no preconceived expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the positive experience. Jo is such a nice person and best of all she is an expert in her field and immensely knowledgeable. Whilst most people make candle making sound daunting, Jo completely put me at ease and made the whole experience so much fun and filled me with confidence. If you have any doubts then forget about them and get yourself booked on this course it is an amazing insight into the world of candle making and candle maker of the year Jo is truly an amazing host."

Claire Keen reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I participated in Jo’s course and I have to say it was absolutely amazing it exceeded my expectations by miles!!! I wasn’t sure what to expect but I couldn’t have wished for anything more. Jo was so lovely I could have just chatted to her all day and not make any candles!!! Jo was so helpful, kind and patient with myself and my daughter and now she thinks Jo is the best thing since sliced bread!!! I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to start a candle making business, learn a new skill or if you would like a great day out."

The White Candle Company responded:

"Ah! Thank you so much for this lovely review Claire. Amelia and you were both a pleasure to have in my studio and I look forward to seeing you again. x"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Jo and her gorgeous pup Blossom. The course was perfect and answered everything I needed to know about getting started in the candle industry. The setting was beautiful, easy to find, with plenty of parking and a very smiley Jo ready to greet you with a warm welcome. I left the course feeling excited to start making my own candles with the knowledge and advice Jo had shared. I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in setting up their own candle making business or just for pleasure."

Anne reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Had a lovely morning candle making - Jo is very friendly and generous with her tips and knowledge of the business. The company and lunch were good too! It was a bonus to leave with beautifully packaged candles and visit the pretty town of Lavenham."

Caroline reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"What a great course - I learned so much about the art of candlemaking thanks to Jo and had a lot of fun along the way. Who knew wax has a memory?! We came back laden with beautifully scented candles of various sizes as well as melts and much more. Jo's knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious and she's inspired me to have a go at making my own candles. Her workshop is in Lavenham which is a great spot to explore afterward too."

Joanne reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I attended the introduction to candle making course as a business. Jo was an excellent teacher, really warm and friendly and so knowledgable with everything she taught. Small group sizes means that everyone was attended to fully. There are several important and pertinent safety and legal implications that one should know about if considering doing this as a business. We made a few different selection of candles to take home with a few different choices of scents, these make wonderful gifts! The day was laid back and informal and I can't rave highly enough about the lovely Jo and her assistant all so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this course to anyone, plenty of free parking at the venue with facilities. Lovely area of Lavenham which is so beautiful to visit after the course. Gift vouchers available which I believe make wonderful gifts for anyone that likes crafts. A really enjoyable and fun day, I can't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much!"

Brian Petchey reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Attended the candle making course, only two "students" and Jo, and we had an amazing day. Not only did we learn how to make candles but also the legalisation concerning the selling of the products. The puppy was adorable ...."

Helen Ross reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I attended Jo’s course yesterday. It was fantastic. It was so interesting learning about the different waxes and how they react to the environment when melted. I loved the variety of essential oils that I was able to choose from for my candles. Can’t recommend this course enough. Going to revisit later in the year. Thank you so much Jo for a wonderful day."

Clare Morrison reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"We attended Jo’s candle making course on 8th Feb and had the most wonderful time. We made a fabulous array of candles & melts of different sizes and fragrances under her tutelage and came away feeling fully confident to make our own. Jo is very welcoming and we also got to meet her utterly adorable 10 week old puppy Blossom. I thoroughly recommend this course whether you are looking to start a business or just do this for pleasure like us. Clare Morrison"
