ARTISAN CANDLES
Based in rural Wairarapa I'm surrounded by an abundance of nature for inspiration.. from the raw beauty of our green landscape, to the wild windswept shores of our rugged coastline & the mountainous ranges of the Tararuas.. each handcrafted vessel is a one of a kind collaborative poetry between nature & myself.
Using a curated blend of crushed volcanic rock, black sand & cement embracing the natural imperfections & authenticity of each piece, no two pieces are ever the same.. I hand pour in small batches using the finest quality coconut soy wax for my bowls & bee soy for my pillars finding beauty in it's organic natural form, with a clean even burn & high scent throw, fragrance oils are phthalate free & wicks are raw cotton, all ingredients are non GMO, vegan & cruelty free.
Your home is your sanctuary, your sacred space, a place for your soul to rest, replenish & simply be..

CANDLE CARE
To get the most from any candle you burn there are a few simple rules to follow:
ALWAYS trim the wick to 5mm before EVERY lighting including the very first.
When lighting my BOWL candles always burn the candle long enough for the wax pool to reach out to the edge of the bowl & completely cover the entire surface in the melted wax so as to get a complete and efficient burn, if you choose to extinguish before it reaches the edge you will set your candle up for tunnelling which is a small circle of melted wax surrounding the wick, this will create memory for the candles future burns resulting in a lot of wasted unused wax.
Burning your BOWL candle for longer than 3 hours at a time is not recommended.
When burning my PILLAR candles let the melted wax pool reach approx 0.5cm from the outside edge then extinguish the candle as these are designed to hold the wax pool within the candle (this should take about 3 hours) if allowed to burn right out to the edge the wax will soften and a possible rupture of the side wall can occur & wax will drip over the edge.. placing your pillar candle onto a safe heat resistant candle holder large enough to contain drips or melted wax is ALWAYS recommended
Burning your PILLAR candle for longer than 3 hours at a time is not recommended.
Keep all burning candles out of draughts, away from curtains or other flammable items, on an even heat resistant surface & never leave it unattended.
Keep your candle out of the reach of children and pets. Stop burning your candle when only 5/8mm of wax remains at the bottom.
Please treat these handcrafted pieces with care & they will be enjoyed for a long life.
