Kelly Campbell-Staines reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Booked this course with absolutely no idea about candle making. Found the venue easily and met two other women who were also taking the course. Jo, the wonderful lady teaching the course made me feel really relaxed and at home. The course was fun and really informative, I couldn’t believe the amount of knowledge I came away with. Most importantly I had so much confidence to get home and start planning my candle making business, I also came home with a huge goody bag of candles and melts I had made with the fragrances I chose. If you are only thinking about booking this course, don’t hesitate, there are very few candlemaking courses around that teach this amount of info and Jo is so lovely!! Book today as she gets booked up quickly. I may have to book again with a friend as it was so much fun."

"Highly recommended! We booked this as a Christmas present to ourselves rather than more needless gifting. We are all avid fans of Jo’s candles so this was perfect. Brilliantly fun morning and anyone could do this (I’m not crafty at all and did wonder if I’d mess it up - FYI, it’s not possible to do so). Jo is so friendly and welcoming I felt I’d known her for years and she really we involved with us. Lunch was scrummy too and we got a lovey haul of awesome products to take away with us. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat!"

"Since discovering Jo’s candles i have not purchased any other brand as i just love everything about hers. They burn fab and smell devine! The course was such fun and jo kindly purchased extra oils of a scent she no longer makes just for me and my friend. Fab course, lovely lunch and want to do it all again!"

"This friendly educational course is the perfect introduction into candle making. Jo has so much experience and advice to offer. You walk away from this course with the confidence to make more of the items you create on the course. The items I made and the experience and knowledge I gained made this course worth every penny. Stunning venue, totally found Jo inspirational."

Steve Fox reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"What a hoot we had - Jo really knows her stuff and it wasn't too long before we were confidently making candles and melts. I really enjoyed tailoring my creations with all sorts of fragrances and I particularly loved making the wardrobe fresheners too - there were jars brimming with dried flowers and spicy fruit which meant I was making something truly unique to me. I'm looking forward to giving the things I've made as personal gifts to my family and friends at Christmas (although I may keep the rhubarb candle as it smells amazing.). I can't recommend this experience enough, what a brilliant day out!"

"My daughter Charlotte and I did the candle making course and we had such a lovely day. Jo is very informative and we had lots of scents to choose from. She explained things well and we made some gorgeous candles to take home with us. The setting is lovely and relaxed and the lunch we had provided was really lovely. Can not recommend highly enough. Thanks so much"

Bernie Wilkinson-Beards reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Jo was an exceptional host/teacher. We were a small group of two with my fellow student planning to produce candles as part of a business plan. My goal was to make candles for personal use and for friends. Jo guided us through the technical steps using different candle mediums and forms, including pure soy, blended and parrafin and melts, candle jars & hanging wax fragrances. Jo is very generous with information re stockists and happily shared her many problem solving tips she has learned through experience and hard work. The time went by very quickly and suddenly it was lunch time. We were welcomed downstairs at Tea on the Green to a sumptuous lunch which was included in the cost of the course. Jo is the ultimate professional and I felt as though I had achieved so much in just one day having gone from zero knowledge about candle making. I can’t wait to get back home to Australia (Yes it was worth the trip!) and start experimenting with my new hobby. Jo has kindly reassured me that she is happy to answer any ongoing questions I may have. Thank you Jo. I really lucked out when I booked your class as we were staying nearby in Cambridge. I truly loved the whole day.,"

Mark reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"A highly recommended candle making course in an exquisite setting in Suffolk. Jo is a great teacher, very friendly, passionate and very knowledgeable about her craft. My friend and I had a lovely morning making candles which we’ve been using with pride. A super lunch was also provided. 10/10."

"Thank you so much Mark. It was a pleasure to meet you and learn a bit about your industry. Good luck! Do let me know how you get on."

Lucie reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I would 100% recommend this course to anyone. Me and my friend did the Saturday course and had so much fun. It is very personal and you can ask Jo anything! You get to pick your own scents for your candles and take so much stuff home that you make. I was interested in starting a little business on the side and Jo was so helpful and informative and answered all the questions I had. If you are looking to do something different and fun - I would say this is definitely the course. Thank you so much Jo for a really fab day!! Lucie xxx"

Jenny Ferguson reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"If you are looking to start candle-making as a new hobby, a business, or just want to spend a fun morning with some friends, I would thoroughly recommend this workshop. Jo is very friendly, knowledgeable (and patient) and guides you through all the basics including different types of wax, fragrances and stockists and shares her tips and experiences. The course is wrapped up with lunch which is served downstairs in a quaint little tea room while Jo packages up all your masterpieces ready for your departure. Myself and 3 friends had a lovely day and came away feeling that we had learned a lot. Thank you Jo."
