In a world where everyone’s getting hip to their eco-footprint, seeking products that combines sustainability with artistry is rare. You’ll certainly observe this in Jo’s hand-poured soy wax ceramic candles—a delightful fusion of eco-consciousness, craftsmanship, and community support. I had an utter joy photographing her gorgeous handmade creations last month!
Jo’s candles are meticulously and lovingly hand-poured using soy wax, a sustainable resource that burns cleanly and slowly. Each candle is housed in a unique ceramic piece sourced from local op shops. These pre-loved ceramics are carefully sanitized and repurposed. I am so in love with the thought of giving these goodies a second life. It certainly reduces the consumerism guilt, but also a fab way to add character to any space!
By choosing Jo’s candles, you’re not just investing in beautifully crafted home decor; you’re supporting sustainable practices and contributing to the well-being of your community. The ceramics are sourced locally from op shops, such as Salvos and Vinnies, to name a few. I adore the concept of repurposing these ceramics. It enables us to embrace the beauty of giving new life to items that might otherwise be discarded.
To be a part of Jo’s sustainable journey, do take the opportunity to explore the gorgeous collection at the West End markets this Saturday (14th October). If you’re looking for a gift for any occasion (hint hint Christmas is coming up soon), do say hello to Jo at the West End markets! She could just have the right treasure for you! Did you know that 10 percent of the proceeds goes toward supporting a great cause Compassion Australia too? So many benefits with purchasing a candle!
If you’re more of an online shopper though, feel free to browse her collection on her website or Instagram. Happy shopping and support local!
