Waxman Candles

Waxman Candles Designing and producing unique quality candles since 1970. 55 years and two generations! Stop in to see why we're the "Coolest Candle Shop on Earth."

Waxman Candles believes that a candle should be more than just a source of light; it should be an immersive experience rooted in handmade quality and artistic expression. Unlike mass-produced pillars, these candles are crafted using higher-quality waxes and unique scent blends that ensure a cleaner, more intentional burn. The artisanal nature of the process is reflected in the packaging, where sig

nature scents are housed in hand-thrown ceramic jars and custom votive holders designed specifically to complement the aesthetic of each piece. Beyond the finished products, the shop invites the community to go behind the scenes through interactive classes. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to learn about the chemistry behind the burn, from mastering the perfect scent throw to understanding the technical details of wick sizing. Whether you are a curious beginner or a fragrance enthusiast, these classes provide a hands-on look at the dedicated craftsmanship that goes into every vessel created. The Waxman Candles gift shop serves as a local goldmine for those seeking thoughtful, high-quality treasures. It features curated gift sets that pair premium candles with unique accessories, as well as bespoke customization options that allow you to pick a specific vessel and scent for a truly personalized gift. By featuring the work of neighborhood artists alongside their own collections, the shop ensures that every visit highlights the best of local flair and artisanal talent.

Our Waxman Ceramics Pollinator Watering Stations on location in a local garden! These beauties are gorgeous and functional.

Each watering station is designed to hold a shallow pool of water from rainfall or watering plants. The sculpted petals, seeds and shapes of each handcrafted piece create small islands for insects and other pollinators to safely get a drink.

Each ceramic piece is unique, with a rotating selection of experimental glaze patterns as well as classic favorites.
