About Us

To say "I love making things" doesn't quite tell the whole story. 

Back in 2018 busy family life, commuting, and work sucked the joy out of life. Whether it was our disorganised cluttered home that made us frantic, or our constant rushing that meant our home was an afterthought, I don't know, but it wasn't working.

A friend's illness spurred me to experiment. What if our house could contribute to our family's wellbeing? 

I'd always loved sewing, painting etc. but previously I hadn't thought of anything I made actually improving my quality of life. But it turns out that when something is made in your style, with intention and in line with your values, it actually does make you feel better. You don't chose the poor quality plastic version from the high street, you chose the tactile warm version from Candlemakers House which does more than one thing, and lasts forever. 

Now I make everything you'll find at Candlemakers House to be beautiful and useful with timeless style and a calming pallet inspired by nature and heritage design.
