Creative Expression
Advanced Candle Making Techniques

Our brand was born from generations of handcrafting, woodworking, painting, and candle-making, so we know a thing or two about the value of artistic expression. Our Novelty Experiences invites you to transform wax into unique realistic candles inspired by our favorite themes—food, decadent sweets and desserts, refreshing beverages, seasonal nostalgia, and household décor.  

Each month, we introduce an exclusive new candle design, giving you the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and explore advanced candle-making techniques in this unique educational and playful experience.
