I am a trained high school art teacher living in the sunny Hawke's Bay. I started candle making a year ago when my husband bought me a candle-making kit for Christmas. From the very start I was absolutely hooked! I love experimenting with different fragrances, colours and shapes, and for me, candles are a kind of 'living art'. I am not just passionate about my craft but also about being environmentally responsible and health conscious. All of my candles are 100% natural and contain no harmful toxins or chemicals. I support recycling as much as possible and so if you have an empty candle glass or unique-looking container, I can refill it for you with fresh and gorgeous smelling soy container wax! :)
