Andrea reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Hello Jo Thank you so much for a very fun, relaxing and informative day. Your knowledge of candle making is inspiring and taught in a clear and easy to understand way. Making candles in different sizes, also wax melts and Christmas tree hangings was great and choosing our own fragrances for them was fun. Going home with a bag of boxed candles was an added bonus. Many thanks"

"We had a lovely day with Jo in Cavendish, this is a great course for both creative people and the more creatively challenged and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

"Thanks Jo for a brilliant day. The course was so much fun and incredibly informative. Jo’s beautiful studio overlooking The Green in Cavendish is the perfect place to be schooled in all aspects of candlemaking. At the end of the workshop I came away with a bag full of my fragrant creations and as if that wasn’t awesome enough I now have the knowledge and confidence to be able to make candles at home anytime I wish. I would wholeheartedly recommend this workshop, I had a splendid day."

Irene Barnett reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Just spent the most wonderful day with Jo making a variety of the best candles ever. They are more than on par with the very expensive best known candles! Jo is not only a really warm, lovely, delightful person but her knowledge and willingness to share is truly amazing. I was so looking forward to the day and it excelled in every way. I knew nothing about candlemaking at all but having met Jo and buying her candles at Clare craft show l was so impressed with the high quality and standard that l just had to have a try myself. I can honestly say its THE best workshop I've ever been on. I wish you continuing success Jo in your amazing business and happy house hunting."

"I attended the workshop on Saturday & it exceeded my expectations; it was very informative in a relaxed friendly way. It was a fantastic enjoyable way to spend a few hours & make some lovely products. Jo made me feel welcome & no question was considered to be too stupid! I would really recommend this course & the lunch provided by the tea-shop downstairs was lovely - accommodating to my unfortunate dietary requirements. Thanks Jo for a fab day. :-)"

Elizabeth Farrington reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I have just got home after an amazing day with Jo. I can’t stop smelling my candles , they smell so good. Jo was so helpful with everything. I have a disability and Jo went out of her way to help. Even walked out to the car with me when it was hammering down with rain and carry my candles for me. Jo’s knowledge is excellent even thou I make wax melts I learnt so much and had so much fun. The day went so fast. Highly recommend this course 11 out 10 . Even had a lovely lunch well worth the hour and twenty minutes drive . Can’t wait to make more candles now. Thank you ?"

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

"My mum and I had a wonderful day candle making with Jo. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. I loved that we made different types of candles and using left over wax on tea lights was a genius way of maximising our money. You don’t need to make any notes because Jo has it all covered in a handout. Lovely lunch downstairs too. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone. It’s great value for money and you come away with so many goodies. I have made lots of candles at home but none have smelt as nice as the ones I made on this workshop. I am super proud of my creations ?"

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

"Seldom have I seen such glowing reviews as Jo has received here and I am delighted to add one more! I spent a joyful day learning all I needed to know about candle making and came away with a gorgeous bundle of my own creations. The class was small, relaxed and fun. Jo’s knowledge is vast and so generously shared. Lunch in the tea room was beautifully presented and delicious. Thoroughly recommended!"

Alison Chilvers reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Jo knows her stuff inside out and is extremely generous with her knowledge, covering everything you could possibly want to know about candle making - and her warm and fun personality makes it all the better! The lunch was delicious and the day was excellent value considering the amount of lovely items you make and take home. I would highly recommend this course."

Louise walkington reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"The course was so much better than I could have anticipated. To come away with not just a hobbie as originally planned but the idea of setting up a business for such a small price was amazing. Great value for money, fantastic tutor and candles to take home. Would highly recommend Jo to anyone thinking of signing up. Thank you Jo for a wonderful experience"

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

"I was blessed that I was given a voucher as a Christmas present and was able to book my day with Jo when it was suitable for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day making candles under Jo's supervision, the class was small so there was a very relaxed atmosphere and the lunch was excellent and I will be visiting again. I would recommend this course 10/10"

Ginette reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"What a truly fantastic day! I highly recommend attending this workshop. Its fun, informative, interesting and above all very enjoyable. Jo is not only a wonderful person, she builds rapport quickly and puts you at your ease before imparting a wealth of knowledge borne from her own experiences. You will come away armed with a bag full of your own beautiful homemade candles, a reference sheet full of useful information and a head full of ideas. I also purchased a bag full of gifts for special occasions plus a treat to help remember a fun packed day. Thank you Jo and have a super time at the markets selling your beloved Christmas candles! Am sure you will sell out fast!"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Thank you so much Ginette. It was really lovely to meet you - what a great "first class" I had with the 3 of you. I hope you don't mind, but I've put a copy of this on IG, about time we all celebrated positive things I feel! Take care and best wishes for the future. xx"

Victoria reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I highly recommend this class, it was a 5***** experience! Jo is a great teacher, she's friendly and fun, and makes everyone feel welcome and relaxed. Jo is very generous with sharing her knowledge and tips-and-tricks of the trade, so whether you're interested in starting your own candle business or just doing it for your own personal use, you will come away with lots of information to get started. You will also come away with a bag full of goodies that you make in the class - 3 x glass container candles, tea lights, wax melts and hanging decorations - plus helpful handouts to refer to when you get back home. Brilliant day, thanks Jo!"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Thank you so much Victoria. That was a lovely review and I look forward to seeing your candlemaking ventures in the near future. I hope you don't mind, but I've put a copy of this on IG. Take care and please do let me know how you get on. xx"

Janet Harris reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Hi Jo Well where to start, I thought it would be so difficult to make candles, but from the start you made me comfortable & confidante in the process & safety of candle making. It was such an enjoyable course it was a shame to end, you covered so much in the time allocated from wax melts to 3 wick candles, decoratios, fragrances that were so amazing & so many to choose from, even more so what we made we took home. Brilliant. So all I can say is anyone thinking of doing your course don't hesitate. Good luck for the future & thank you again for a awesome day, would love to do another course & will recommend you. Jan x"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Hi Jan, oooh, I've only just seen this. Thank you for such a lovely review and I'm so glad you had fun. Hope you've managed to light your candles and have started to enjoy them. Do remember to pop by if you're ever passing! Jo xx"

Janet Holdsworth reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Thank you Jo for the most fantastic day. Right from the very start you were so patient and welcoming and fun. I loved choosing the scents and all the mixing and blending and came way with a dazzling array of candles large and small, pretty wax melts and delicious-smelling tea lights. My house smells absolutely wonderful and I am feeling very proud of my handiwork. I know where to come for my Christmas gifts, and to learn some more. One again, many thanks, Janet xxx"

Debbie Stevens reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"Five Star Course and fun day. I cannot recommend highly enough Jo's course. Jo is friendly, informative and an exceptional host. She shared her knowledge willingly and thoroughly, explaining the background and reasons clearly for the activities we were doing. The resources available from types of wax to containers/moulds and fragrances was superb. I came away confident of trying this craft on my own. BUT most of all it was a fun day with laughter in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks Jo!"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Thank you Debbie, so glad you had a good time. Do keep in touch and let me see any pics of anything you decide to make! Take care xx"

Suzanne reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"FANTASTIC!!!!!!! My best friend is gettting married soon and as her maid of honour the duty of planning her hen party rested on my shoulders. I found this candle making course and contacted Jo to see if she would be willing to acommodate a large group of us (9 in total). To my delight Jo agreed to us taking her course and I'm so glad she did! From the moment we met Jo she was the best hostess you could ask for. Nothing was too much trouble, we were made to feel encredibly welcome and the course itself was just perfect! We were allowed to choose from a very wide veriety of scents and everything you made you take home with you! Drinks were always being offered and lunch was amazing! When it got down to learning everything we needed to know the fun didnt stop. Jo joined in with us in such a wonderful way it made it seem like she was apart of our group for the day! Her knowledge of all things candle is amazing and I couldnt ask for someone better to teach us! We enjoyed it all so much there is talk of us going again in future!"

The White Candle Company responded:

"Thank you so much for your really lovely review! I had a great day too, such a lovely group of people, I couldn't have asked for more! Thank you xx"
