NYC Candle Making Sip and Pour
I had so much fun making candles! It was super interesting to see and learn about the different oils that can be added to create unique fragrances. Marla was patient, kind, and the sweetest person. I’d definitely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing activity. Oh, and I can’t forget the added bonus of the lovely wine that was served! ??️ -

Marla was great! It was just us 4 for the session and the class was great! We even received a small gift at the end courtesy of Marla. I highly recommend to go with a group. -

NYC Premium Candle Making Experience
I felt like I wasted my money, melt and pour candles is really easy. I don’t know why but I went home empty of knowledge. P.S. The trainer was really nice, this is not against her or anything, it’s just the course is not really engaging enough. -

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! -

Professional Cold Process Soap Making
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. -
