Our solid hand-poured beeswax candles are made from 100% locally sourced beeswax. They burn faster, brighter, and for longer than equivalent soya or paraffin wax candles. The unmistakably pure scent of a natural beeswax candle, memorably described by one customer as ‘the essence of Nature’, cannot be replicated.
Beeswax candles actually clean, rather than pollute, their surroundings. Dust, dirt, pollen, chemical pollutants, and other particulates in the surrounding atmosphere all carry a positive charge, which is how they are suspended.
However the negative ions released from burning beeswax negate the positive charge of these air contaminants. The neutralized ions then either fall to the ground, or are absorbed into the candle flame.
Patricia (the potter) and Ultan (the candlemaker) have been living at The Potter’s Yard for over two decades. Sustainable living has always been their guiding principle.
