ABOUT OUR HAND DIPPED BEESWAX CANDLES
ABOUT OUR HAND DIPPED BEESWAX CANDLES
We work with a small workshop in Cumbria to produce our pure beeswax candles. From their base in the Pennines - an area of outstanding beauty - they have been producing hand-dipped candles for over 40 years.
The time-honoured technique of dipping is a slow and gradual process. The wicks are hung from a metal frame which is dipped at intervals into the molten wax. Each layer is cooled before they are dipped again, with this process repeated until the desired shape is reached. Some are dipped up to 20 times.
Dipping with beeswax can be traced back to the middle ages, when it was considered noble and reserved for the church and the wealthy. Pure beeswax is renowned for it's subtle honey scent and golden hue. It burns cleanly - unlike parrafin wax - with barely any smoke or drips.
ABOUT OUR LETTERPRESS MATCHES
ABOUT OUR LETTERPRESS MATCHES
Archivist was founded in 1994 and continues to this day as one of the finest letterpress studios. Letterpress printing is a traditional technique of applying ink to an image and then 'stamping' it onto paper or card. The process has changed little since the Gutenberg bible was published circa 1455.
