About Shop Light

Candles poured by hand, in small batches, for the rooms you actually use.

Why "Shop Light"

A shop light is the lamp over the workbench. It is simple, it does its job, and nobody thinks about it until it is gone. We wanted candles that work the same way: good materials, a plain vessel, and a scent that fits the room without taking it over.

How they're made

Each candle is poured by hand with soy wax and a cotton wick, then left to cure before it ships so the scent has time to settle. The vessel is concrete-look and heavy enough to stay put. When the wax is gone, wash it out and keep it for screws, pencils or loose change.

Six scents, on purpose

We keep the lineup short. Six scents covers a cold morning, a long day and a late night by the fire. Fewer scents means we can get each one right.
