Scented Candle Making
Morning or Afternoon workshops with Jenny Timms
"Jenny's enthusiasm...is infectious and her patience is commendable." - Sue
Scented Candle Making - try your hand at making your own candles with these half-day classes for beginners.
A wide range of scents is available plus Christmas workshops include seasonal scents like Holly Berry, Winter Frangrance and Christmas Wreath.
This workshop introduces you to the fun of candle making with an end product you can enjoy at home, and possibly a new hobby.
The materials and tools needed to create your own scented candles are affordable and safe to use, making this a craft you can certainly continue after the class.
Scented candles make great presents!
You'll be using soy wax (environmentally friendly and cleaner to use than parafin wax), essential oils for scents, coloured wax and cotton candle wicks.
