Cancellation & rescheduling
Workshop bookings are non-refundable. If you cannot attend, we will do our best to move you to another date: email info@yougilondon.com at least seven days before your slot. If you are ill or something comes up at the last minute, email us anyway and we will talk through your options.
An hour and a half, start to finish.
Tea on arrival, an apron, a seat at the table. Then a short lesson in the fragrance families: top, heart and base.
Work through the oil library, more than 30 essential oils, and decide what your candle is for.
Build your own formula with your tutor beside you, then pour it into the 170g frosted glass candle.
One candle, one formula, yours alone. It sets before the class ends and goes home with you.
