About Hearth & Wick

Hearth & Wick is a fictional candle maker created to show the POLYMATH theme. Burn times, notes and the studio are demo content.

We pour by hand in a small studio, into glass that is made to be cleaned and used again, and we never send a candle that has not rested for two weeks.

The studio

Batches of forty

Wax is weighed, melted and scented by hand, then poured a little cooler than most so the tops set smooth. Each batch is labelled with the date it was poured. (Demo.)

  • Rapeseed and coconut wax
  • Cotton wicks, trimmed before they leave
  • Glass you can clean and use again
