In the centuries-old tradition of European Artisans of the Medieval Period, Kat's Candle Company proudly presents these fine, hand-carved candles. To fully appreciate the quality of our works, we invite you to join us in our workshop in beautiful Boise, Idaho.

There you can watch as we begin with a simple, hand-poured core of solid, clear paraffin wax. Through this core runs a specially braided cotton wick. This core is then repeatedly dipped in pigment dyed hot wax to layer on colors. Next, each layer of wax is quickly cooled in water. In this fashion, we create the beautiful colors in our candle designs and are able to custom make any candle in any color combination desired.

Once the layers of wax have been formed, the warm candle is carved into beautiful designs. We then finish every candle with a clear acrylic glaze to add a permanent shine. From our generations old Ribbon designs to our original Seascape and Southwestern designs, the exquisite details and variety of styles and sizes we offer are sure to please every taste!

One of the most commonly asked questions of our candles has been "They're so beautiful, why would anyone burn them?" and we are pleased to explain that our candles can be burned safely... and then refilled! Yes, by following the simple instructions we include with each candle, you can burn your candles safely and watch as they burn directly down the center-- leaving the outer carvings untouched. The candles then light up and glow through the carvings, cutouts, and designs. The candles can then be "refilled" with an ordinary tea-lite (removed from the tin cup) or a small votive candle. The candle can be burned repeatedly and will last indefinitely.
