NEW – Honeybee pillar candles
Crim busy at work sculpting the new honeybee pillar candles. She use an oil based clay called Klean Klay to sculpt the images. She then casts them in rubber material before the final beeswax candle is poured. The bee image is silhouetted as the candle slowly burns. We hope to have them available on the site soon. However, you can email or call to order them now.
Winters Renewal
Winter is an introspective time. It’s a time of resting the creative mind but also preparing for the work that lies ahead.
We usually spend our winter month’s tidying the flower garden, which requires moving numerous tractor loads, to the delight of my boys, of aged plant material to the compost. Going through the endless seed catalogs and deciding what new and exciting seeds we will plant takes time. Inside the studio the worktables are filled with beeswax, tools and clay for candle making, sculpting and mold-making. As we work, our wood stove glows from within. During this time we also update our website and product information as well as clean and assess inventory. Staying on top of orders is a priority as well.
In these cold winter months we huddle together like the bees of our hives knowing that with winter’s renewal we will be ready for a busy and prosperous new year.

Beeswax
Our first experience with beeswax left us intrigued, and today we still feel the same way. As wax artists, we believe it is the perfect medium. The composition of beeswax has a high melting point, excellent plasticity, and unique structurally integrity. When it burns it produces a wonderful aroma and shines with a peaceful luminosity. It has centuries of global history and is a sustainable renewable resource. Beeswax offered the possibility to create in a way that is functional, beautiful, unique, long burning and reusable. Of all the outstanding features of beeswax, the light it cast is the most fascinating. Whether it is a lamp, lantern, ornament or pillar, each with their different glow, the light is warm and comforting.
