Hand-poured soy candles in three scent families, cured for two weeks and sold by the batch.
The scents

We blend in families rather than seasons. Each one holds three candles that sit well together, so you can move through a family as the year turns.

The pour
Two weeks from melt to lid.
A candle poured today is not ready today. Soy needs time on the shelf to set its scent, so every batch waits fourteen days before it is boxed.
01
Melt
Soy flakes go into a water bath and melt slowly. The wax is never brought to a boil.
02
Blend
Each scent is weighed and folded in by hand in a small jug, one family at a time.
03
Pour
Forty jars per scent, poured in two passes, with every wick held straight by a wooden clip.
04
Cure
The jars rest uncovered on the shelf until the scent has settled into the wax. Then the lids go on.
Rule one
The first burn sets the memory of the wax.
Care card
Four habits for a clean burn.
Soy is forgiving, but it remembers. Look after the first few burns and a jar will melt evenly all the way to the bottom.
01
Let the first burn run long
Two to three hours, until the melt reaches the glass all the way round. A short first burn leaves a tunnel.
02
Trim before every light
Cut the wick to five millimetres. A long wick smokes, flickers and blackens the glass.
03
Four hours at most
After four hours the wick mushrooms and the jar runs hot. Put it out and let it rest.
04
Stop at a centimetre
Leave the last centimetre of wax in the jar, then bring it back to us for a refill.
Refills
Bring the jar back.
An empty Emberly jar is worth keeping. Return it to the studio and we clean it, fit a new wick and pour your scent again, for less than a new candle.
1
Burn it down to a centimetre
Leave the last of the wax in. We take it out.
2
Drop it at the studio or post it
Lid on, any scent, any of our three sizes.
3
Collect it with the next batch
Cleaned, rewicked and poured on the next pour day.

Light it for
A candle for the hour, not the season.
People rarely ask us for a scent. They ask for a feeling: a slow Sunday, friends at the table, the window open for the first time. This is what we hand them.
For a first visit, or a gift
The discovery set.
One votive from each family, packed in a kraft box with a handwritten card. Enough for about sixty hours of finding out which one is yours.
