NYC Candle Making Sip and Pour (2 Candles Per Guest)
It was just me and my bf for the class. Marla was very nice and took her time explaining things to us. She even took out some liquid colors from the back because I really wanted an orange color. She was good at helping with scent mixing and we left happy with everything we made! Thank you! -

I really enjoyed the class. The instructor, Marla, was very knowledgeable and great at explaining the process of soapmaking. She covered the safety concerns and do's & don't of working with lye. I feel comfortable enough to be able to do this on my own at home. She was kind and helpful, going above and beyond my expectations. -

The class was great and informative. Marla provided information on soap making and addressed all our questions. The first half of the class was going over the process, how to calculate , and ingredients. The second half was the hands on with making the soap that we took home. Would recommend this class for those wanting to learn. -

Professional Candle Making Class
I actually took this candle making class yesterday evening. It was cancelled for the 20th last week. I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was remarkable. She took her time to explain the candle making process step by step. The studio looked amazing. I loved the black tiled floor with streaks of different colors. Both of my candles came out beautifully. The color & scents I choose for making my candles came out very well. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to make candles. -
