Jo Macfarlane Barton

Welcome!

I'm so exciting to be teaching you here- let me show you what works! 

Are you sick of trying to piece together information from various sources online on how to make candles only to find it doesn't work?

People come to me all the time after trying and failing at getting the correct wax, wicks and fragrance oils to work together effectively. It is easy to get right but also easy to get wrong. Let me show you my techniques. 

You're going to learn all about how to measure the candle wax, choose the correct wick size (which is a minefield) and most importantly choosing your fabulous scents. 

I do work and teach with soy wax and we are a vegan company. 

I have run in-person candle workshops for over 7 years welcoming thousands of people from around the country. I have adapted my in person teaching to online courses I'm delighted to serve around the world now in 16 countries! 

My business began from my kitchen table over 10 years ago, making candles for family then friends asked if I could teach them so I started running classes round my kitchen table which eventually expanded to a studio a year and a half later. 

I create Private Label Candles for Luxury Hotels across Scotland and London, and work with clients such as Waldorf Astoria, Porsche, Novotel and Pullman. My business has taken me to Downing Street twice and the House of Lords.
