Marla and Kay are the best

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.

We loved our class! It was just the two of us and Marla made it a very special day.

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.

Great class! I highly recommend!

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.

Fun and very informative; safety emphasized!

I had a blast learning how to make soap. Marla and Kay provided us with everything to make a legitimate batch of quality soap, along with instructions to easily duplicate the process at home. Highly recommended.

Great class. Learned a lot

this was a very thorough class. while you make two different kinds of candles that you can take home and burn, the primary purpose of the class is to review the steps needed to get into candle making as a business. as such, the teacher shares her personal experience, providing tips on where to source for materials and how to price. as a big plus, she’s friendly and approachable, so this is not like a dry lecture, or powerpoint presentation. she also left us with a printed booklet which included a lot of what she went over incase theres something you forget. 5 stars (and im not even a candle person)

Class was great, really liked it.

Loved this , Marla was awesome , Great with explanations and instructions ,

Very good class a bit long the first part with all the explanation.

Great class. I liked we used natural ingredients. I really enjoyed learning how to make the soap.

This class was amazing. I took it to upgrade my skin care line and a girl is making and selling body wash. So thank you so much can’t wait for the shampoo and conditioner class. Teacher was super sweet as well.

it was such an amazing experience. The instructor is awesome friendly and super knowledgeable, and we made 2 candles per person that we really love! Highly recommend to anyone wants to learn how to make their own candle!

The class was fun and very informative.

It was a small class which afforded plenty of 1:1 attention. The instructor gave good instructions with lots of supporting information on the process of soap making. The setting was very comfortable.

The class was excellent.the teacher take time and go through the process of getting us as students to learn the basics of making soaps.it was worth it thumbs up.

I really enjoyed this class. Marla was amazing, informative, engaging and passionate about the class. I learned so much and am so encouraged about my entrepreneurial journey.. I’m going to take another class with her.
