"This class was EXACTLY what I was hoping it would be. The instructor was knowledgeable, fun, engaging, friendly, attentive, and really knows all the ups and downs, pitfalls, and tips of making an awesome candle. She clearly has a passion for this craft, and I am so glad she shared her knowledge with us. Being able to make the candle in the class under her supervision and guidance has given me the confidence I needed to try it at home." -Juanita L.UNM Tuition Remission
