Kristina Shepherd

Excellent course! i have learnt so much it was excellent. very knowledgeable teacher. 

Kelly Gill

The class was so informative and Paula is a fabulous teacher and really knows her stuff after 20 years in the business. She also provided a lot of information on moving firearms to start a small business and offers a 1 to 1 more in-depth personal business course.  We came away with 2 hand made candles. Refreshments were available  through the day and a beautiful afternoon tea was also provided. Can’t recommend this course enough. 

Angela Griggs

Brilliant course! I also did the soap making course in November last year and loved that too. Highly recommend Paula, she is a brilliant and enthusiastic teacher and so knowledgeable! Can't rate her highly enough. 

Jasprit anand

I was interested in doing this course for a while, and I am glad I took this course. Paula explained the whole thing with a lot of interest and information. She was extremely happy to answer any questions we had.
Thank you greatly and appreciate all the others attending who were so friendly and helpful.

Elisaveta Kaneva 

It was such a magical experience to create my very first candles! Everyone in the class was so excited and buzzing, and that created even a better atmosphere! The course was very informative and the material well-prepared for all requirements. 
Paula and her lovely lady-helper were so friendly and well-organised. The catering was organised to suit all food requirements with a great sandwich selection and drinks, to home-made scones! Truly scrumptious! 
I had really wonderful experience! Thanks ladies! 

Tifanny  Bernard-Wilson

I had the most amazing time learning how to make candles! Paula was lovely and very thorough in her teaching. It was informative and fun! Met a lot of lovely people too and enjoyed a great afternoon tea. Would recommend for anyone who wants to start a candle making business, or just want to have some fun! 

Sandra Goode

There were nine in the group a nice number. whilst the atmosphere was relaxed there was a vast amount of advice given.  Paula stressed how important it was to do tests for the safety of burning the candle.  Am looking forward to doing the soap making course later on

Christine De Ionno

This was the first of Paula’s excellent workshops that I have attended.  There was much to learn as making perfect candles is not easy.  Paula guided us through the process from start to finish and we all went home with 2 beautifully-fragranced soy candles.  The learning environment was relaxed and fun and it was a special day for me and my colleague – both of us were taking time out of our very busy work schedules.  I would recommend the workshop to anyone who wants to de-stress from work or other difficult events or just for fun.

Elisabetta Cirulli

This is my second course with Paula of Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. and it was another great one! Paula is thorough, passionate, patient and makes sure you don't just walk away with top-line information, but she provides all the tools and knowledge you need to make a start in earnest, be it as a business or hobbyist candle maker. I'll be back for the reed course for sure and then probably an even more in depth one-to one. Highly recommended!

Ayfer Guncu

It was a very friendly atmosphere and learned very useful techniques to make candles . Also very important how to use of health and safety procedures and well advice given when you want to sell  candles. 

Tracy Coates

The course was very informative and I felt that it has given me the knowledge needed to make my own candles at home. Paula was a great tutor and the day was very enjoyable. The afternoon tea was lovely and going home with 2 candles at the end of tea day makes it a perfect experience. I would definitely recommend and will hopefully be doing the soap making course in the future.

Susan Smith

Very indepth course fun and showing you anything is possible 

Rachel  Gregory

I was very excited about doing this workshop and it didn’t disappoint, Paula is a wonderful host and guided us through a most enjoyable day. It has truly inspired me to explore candle making.

Linda Francois

Fantastic course. Paula shared her  passion and expertise whether attendees were there for business or just pleasure. You’ll learn so much more than those ‘experience’ days. Highly recommend this course. 

Vanessa Janes

Really lovely day. Very informative re making candles. Made 2 super candles. Gluten free food was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable day.

Karen  Wheeler

What a fantastic day.  I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event.  It was a lovely blend of being taught and social.  The teacher is so knowledgeable and her presentation is outstanding as she focuses on you the person and the best way for you to get as much as you can from the event and what you are learning.

Ayshe Osman

I attended Paula’s beginners candle making course and it was such a lovely experience. I knew Paula would be very knowledgeable and I learnt so much from her and felt so comfortable asking her all of the questions  that I had. It was a lovely space where everyone felt relaxed and had lots of fun. I would love to try more of Paula’s courses!

Michael Thomas

I loved this workshop. I have to say that Paula is incredibly generous with her knowledge of the creative, science, and business of fragrance products. She is also very personable and kind and took the time to make sure that we all understood candles, but also had a lovely afternoon. Delicious afternoon tea served by her lovely husband - and aided by Rosa! It was such a nice way to spend a few hours (which flew by) and come away with such a lot of knowledge. I cannot recommend this workshop enough!

Deana

I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a really interesting and a fun day. And you had two scented candles that smell amazing to take home.
Paula really knows her subject (I was surprised how much I learnt) and she made it feel so relaxed.
Whether you are thinking of starting your own business or just as a hobby, I would highly recommend this course.
A big thank you to Paula and Rosa for a memorable day and hope to see you again on one of your many other courses.

Very informative course and Paula was extremely friendly and considerate to all our needs. Fab food as well as fab tutoring.

Joyce Reynolds

I had a lovely time learning and meeting new people. I’m 86 years old and Paula was very attentive and considerate of my abilities but not to the detriment of others. Food was lovely too.

Maria Gillivan

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Paula was so friendly and knowledgeable and the whole day was well organised. I was slightly nervous attending on my own but the majority of attendees were also on their own and we soon settled in. Hot drinks and biscuits were available throughout the day and the afternoon tea was excellent. Bringing home 2 lovely candles was a bonus. I would highly recommend this course. 

Marion Slaughter

I am inspired!  Such a great course, loved every minute.  Paula was a fantastic teacher, and I am so grateful for the knowledge she shared to help me to kick start my candle making and I can't wait to introduce candles to my business.  I will definitely be back for more!

Hayley Raynsford

Kim Burroughs 

I thoroughly enjoyed my candle making and reed diffuser course. Paula made the course fun but also explained the process really well. I would definitely recommend getting yourself on one of Paula’s courses, I can’t wait to get myself booked in on another one. Oh and the afternoon tea was lovely, especially Paula’s home made scones 😋 


JILLIAN  TRAVERS

My second superb visit  to make candles this time, last time was soap making.  Both days have been fantastic, truly welcoming and a wonderful knowledgeable tutor.  Will be looking to book my third visit asap.

Ligia Carrillo

Paula is a lovely, welcoming and knowledgeable person.
In regards to the  course, it does need some improvements in the structure. It would be easier to understand and learn if there was a presentation in a slide show following some order in candle making rather than what felt like just a chat about the topic. We were given a print out A4 about the information but this was just a guideline not everything discussed.





Mary Embleton

Very enjoyable pleasant atmosphere and informative .
I came via a charity auction and some other participants were looking to develop a business and all seemed satisfied. 
Enjoyed the scones!

Brenda Tigue

Thank you for a wonderful new experience.
 Paula delivered a relaxed and comfortable course which was also packed full of technical and practical information. Looking forward to starting a great new hobby !

Lovely full day course run by Paula from start to finish! It was structured well & tailored nicely to what people were most interested in throughout the day. Highly recommend :)

Tanya  Fihosy

What an incredible course! I was looking for a candle making course where I could gain both the skills and confidence to start my own candle business - and this was it. Don’t search any further. The information provided is so detailed and it was a lot of fun too. I’ll be back for the Diffuser one next!

Marjorie Griffith

Fantastic course which gave me both the skills and the knowledge to strike out on my own and make candles. Excellent handouts too.

Abhi Gupta

Iwona  Wisniewska 

Emma Jenkins

This course was gifted to me as a surprise from my lovely partner and it was utterly glorious from start to finish. I arrived at the venue completely confused as to what was going on but was warmly welcomed by Paula, Rosa and the other participants of the course. I only knew what was about to happen when I sat down and was thrilled! What followed was marvellous. Paula was so knowledgeable, personable and a wonderful teacher. The time flew by and there was a collective sense of satisfaction at the end! After 5 hours, we had made two beautiful candles but some participants had paid extra to make reed diffusers and room spray so I asked if I could pay extra so I had the full set. Paula then talked us through how to make the items. The equipment, instruction, refreshments and overall experience were all incredibly high quality. All in all, I couldn’t recommend this day more highly and I would be keen to participate in further courses run by Paula*. My partner could not have found a more perfect gift and I can’t wait to start on my Burn Test homework.

* I would pay this time though!

Hallam Bather

Really enjoyed the course. Was fun and educational. thank you Paula. x

DEBRA COLLINS

Had a great day. Everyone so friendly and welcoming. Learnt so much. Thank you Paula. 

Lorraine Hendricks

This was an amazing experience.  Quality ingredients were provided to make two lovely candles and I also made a defuser and a  room spray which are sublime! The session was relaxed but very informative and we were also provided with a handout that detailed all we learnt on the course and more. I highly recommend this to everyone who is thinking about it.

Rachel  McGivern

Great course, very detailled and I learnt lots. I had a great day and the group were really friendly.

jane  lockhart

The course was excellent. Paula's passion for the subject really shone through and I particularly appreciated her talking about the business side of things. She also spent time talking about the safety aspects and that was so insightful. I would definitely recommend this course. I have done a workshop before with another company and it in no way measured up to Paula's course which was exceptional. Thank you Paula for your passion and dedication to such an interesting and lovely topic. I came away with 2 beautiful scented candles which I have gifted to family and they loved them.

Tina Welch

A fantastic candle making day with the incredible Paula! Informative, fun and very interesting. Paula's knowledge is second to none as well as being a very nice lady. Thank you.

Sitti Abdou

I wanted to learn to make that beautiful Candle (that we see in magazines). So, I read a lot and a lot of reviews, sent a lot of emails, and messages, and checked different courses for months before deciding to go with Paula whose first impression was a nice person and quick responsiveness to email. I can happily also say that Paula is extremely good, she exceeded my expectations providing the excellent course “Beginner’s Candle making”. The course was complete (the part I loved the most was choosing the fragrance), and she answered all the questions. I am so happy! I left the course with 2 Amazing candles! Of course, I will not hesitate to recommend Paula, Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. to other colleagues because I know she is simply the best. 

Dhwani Shah

It was an amazing course. Paula and her team was friendly, welcoming and helping.

Zoe Shires

I thoroughly enjoyed the candle making, (one day) course in Bexley.  Paula gave us enough information and reassurance to make it all seem possible, whilst managing our expectations about trial and error and candle testing.  I really enjoyed the process of making the candles and I am over the moon with our take home candles.  I can’t wait to try experimenting for myself and have already ordered my wax!!!  Really tempted to book the soap making course now based on Paula’s teaching skills.  😃😃😃

Claire Crowley

A thoroughly enjoyable, therapeutic and well structured course ! Paula has a tremendous amount of knowledge and advice and I definitely feel that I have developed more of an understanding of candle making.

WHY SIGN UP TO A ONE TO ONE COURSE WITH ME?

I’ve been there and done it. 

I have built my business from scratch combining my job in the city with my love of artisan products. I found soap and candle making a very therapeutic way to escape from  the daily stresses of working in finance and love the mix. It was dedication, passion, perseverance and hard work that made it possible. Now I have a successful, highly-regarded, award winning brand and sell-out workshops. It gives me so much joy to share my knowledge, teach and help other people do the same.

A member of the UK Guild of Craft Soap and Toiletry Makers, I have years of experience of making fine soaps. I discovered that blending oils, knowing what works, and creating heavenly fragrances for luxurious candles and soaps is my superpower.  As an accountant specialising in budgeting and forecasting with an Honours Degree in International Business Administration and an Honours  Degree in Business Studies, there is rigour behind my approach. I know the ups and downs, the challenges, the legalities  etc. inside out.  My products and courses have been Highly Commended at the Bexley Business Excellence Awards 2020 and I was a finalist for Best Entrepreneur of the year.

Whether you are working full time, part time, on furlough or unemployed there is always time to learn a new skill and the possibility to run a business that fits your needs and lifestyle. You can do it!

 I can’t wait to welcome you.

Anne  Stapleton

If you are serious about selling your soap you MUST go on Paula’s Compliance Course held in her cosy garden room.
Every aspect is covered to make your  business compliant, there are handouts to take home and no question is too simple to ask. 
Paula’s husband Paul produced a magnificent platter of delicious sandwiches at lunch time together with drinks all day.
Even though Paula had been working all week & holding a Soapmaking course on the Saturday, she still gave M…. & me 2 extra hours on the Sunday which was very generous.
All in all, a very enjoyable day, well worth travelling for & very good value for money (the cost is tax deductible) 
So, many thanks to Paul & Paula for giving up their family time for M…. & me.

All the questions I had rolling around in my head were answered on this course. I’m super clear now what I need to do and where I need to go to kick start my business. Paula was so thorough and gave so many cool tips that left my mouth open in awe but also got me really excited about   my venture. It’s also wonderful that I can still message to ask for help if I need after the course, which makes me me feel that I’m not alone in the process. Thanks Paula for all the feedback on recipes, ingredients etc. I cannot wait to show you the final product.
