Anyone over the age of 16 is welcome! Suitable for beginners or those with more experience, it's a nice relaxed and friendly class.
​
What's involved?
Wendy will take you through the tools and materials you will need and the techniques you will learn. You’ll be given full demonstrations on each technique and have the chance to put those skills to practice, and produce 6 candles of your own. Wendy will show you every step of the way to creating candles to die for!
​

​
What are the design options?
The candle shapes and sizes will remain the same, but you'll be able to choose the wick type, blend your own essential oils and choose from a variety of colours to make your candles completely unique. Wendy will show you all the techniques you need, to ensure that you make candles to be proud of!
​
How long will the class last?
The class will last approximately 3 hours. It’s best to allow a little extra time as classes sometimes over-run depending on group sizes. During warmer weather, candles can take longer to set, which may affect the length of the class.
​
Where is the class held?
Classes are held in The Little Craftery in Field Row, Worthing, which is designed to be a functional, comfortable workspace for up to 5 participants. The shop will be closed to the public during your class, so you don’t need to worry about interruptions. If you have any special access requirements, please contact Wendy at The Little Craftery before you book to discuss, and to find out if access is available for you.
​
Do we need to book?
Yes, please do book in advance, as there are a limited number of places on each class (a maximum of 6 people per workshop), and we wouldn’t want you to be disappointed! We require full payment in advance in order to secure your booking. Online payments will be taken securely by either Square or Paypal (don’t worry, you don’t have to have a Paypal account!). If you’d rather not book online, you can book in person at The Little Craftery.
​
How do I book?
You can book on this page, go to the 'Book Here' section above, and you'll see there are two steps.
Step 1 is to check for classes already open; these are the dates that other people have already set, and are happy for you to join them. If there are no dates that you can do there, then come back here and go to step 2.
Step 2 is where you can set up a new date. Start by choosing how many poepl are in your group, and you'll be taken to a new calendar where you can choose any date and time you like, and decide if you want it to be a private class, or if you'd like us to open it up for others to join you.
​
Do I need to bring anything?
All your materials and refreshments are supplied.
If you use reading glasses or similar it may be useful to bring those with you. Spillages are possible, so it's recommended to dress for mess, though aprons will be supplied.
​
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
