About me

I started making candles at home a few winters ago because I could not find one that smelled the way I wanted. My first dozen were awful. They tunnelled, they sooted, one of them sank in the middle like a cake. I wrote down every batch, and slowly the notes turned into something useful.

Now I pour small batches most weeks and write about them every Friday. The guides and sheets I sell are the ones I use myself. The two video courses are for people who want to make a first candle that burns well, or who have made a few and want to understand why some of them go wrong.
