FAQs
​
Who is the class for?
Anyone over the age of 16 is welcome! Suitable for complete 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 basic techniques you will learn. You’ll be able to choose the colours you would like to use for your final candles, and Wendy will show you every step of the way to creating candles to die for!
​
What's included?
The price includes everything you need: all materials and use of any necessary tools, full instruction from Wendy, and tea and coffee. You will get to take home the candles you've made.
​
What are the design options?
When you arrive at your class, you will be given the choice of a few different dyes to use, and several fragrance oils to choose from. The candle shapes and sizes will remain the same, but the variation in colours you choose can make a difference to the finished look. 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 2 to 2½ hours. It’s best to allow a little extra time as classes sometimes over-run depending on group sizes. Ambient temperature can also make a difference to how long candles take to set, so a class on a hot day could take longer.
​
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 5people 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 people 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?
No, all your materials and refreshments are supplied. Spillages do happen, so it's recommended that you dress for mess, though aprons will be supplied.
You may wish to bring reading glasses if you use the.
​
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
