Five sculptural candle techniques, on film.

one archive

A closer look at sculptural candle-making: distinctive forms, layered colour and marbled patterns, across five technique videos.

The techniques grew out of years of candle-making practice at a former candle studio. This archive brings them together for candle makers and wax artists to study.
