Candles by Homework

£40.00

Homework is a sensory studio that aligns with nature. This looks like living harmoniously with the seasons, drawing upon the grounded and tangible elements of nature, from the calm trickle of water to the warmth of the sun. These candles are created in small batches, and use responsibly-sourced ingredients. The beautiful green glass jars can be reused as decorative storage jars, too

Homework pays homage to creator Stephanie’s Chinese heritage, having grown up with Traditional Chinese Medicine – from her Popo picking herbs in the mountains in Tai Po to create her own remedies, to her parents who immigrated to Manchester in 1984 to set up their own clinic. So it felt both natural and vital for homework’s sensory philosophy to be rooted in TCM.
