I started making candles because the scents I wanted did not exist. The shops were full of fruit, flower, and bath, and very little else. So I poured my own. Friends asked for another, then another, and a small candle habit turned into a shop.

Then I met the love of my life. She already had a craft of her own, and a clearer idea of what she wanted in the world: Asian-inspired earrings and necklaces, wood shaped by hand, pieces that did not look like anyone else’s. I had the odd scents and the gothic candles. She had the ornament, the filigree, and a bench full of work that deserved a proper home.

We rebuilt the site around both of us. Blue Wick Crafts is no longer only candles. It is an eclectic mix of what we each make, and of what we make together. We hope you find something in it that the usual shops never carried.
