What Is The Art Of Candle Making Called
?
Candle making is the process of creating candles from wax. Candles can be made from a variety of materials, including paraffin, soy, beeswax, and gel.
The art of candle making is called “chandlery.” Chandlers are the people who make candles. The word “chandlery” comes from the Old French word “chandelier,” which means “a candle holder.”
Candles have been made for thousands of years. The first candles were made from animal fat. Later, candles were made from beeswax, which is a natural product. Today, most candles are made from paraffin, a man-made product.
There are many different types of candles, including tapers, pillars, votives, and tealights. Tapers are thin candles that are usually used to light other candles. Pillars are large, thick candles that are often used to provide light in a room. Votives are small, candle-shaped candles that are usually used to provide light in a church or temple. Tealights are small, candle-shaped candles that are usually used to provide light on a dinner table.
Candles can be used for many different purposes, including providing light, providing heat, and providing aromatherapy. Candles can also be used for decoration.

Candle Making Magic
What could be more enchanting than making your own candles? The art of candle making is a wonderful way to tap in to your creative side, and to enjoy the simple pleasures of crafting. Not only are candles a beautiful addition to any home, but they also make wonderful gifts.
The first step in learning how to make candles is to gather your supplies. In addition to candles, you will need wax, wicks, a heat source, and molds. You can find many of these supplies at your local craft store.
The next step is to choose your wax. There are a variety of different waxes available, each with its own unique properties. Some waxes are better for making candles that will be burned, while others are better for making decorative candles.
Once you have chosen your wax, it is time to melt it. You can do this using a variety of methods, including a stovetop, microwave, or hot plate. Be sure to use a pot that is large enough to accommodate the amount of wax you are melting.
Once the wax has melted, it is time to add the wick. The wick should be centered in the wax and should be long enough to extend out of the top of the mold.
Once the wick is in place, you can pour the wax into the mold. Be sure to pour the wax slowly and carefully, so that the wick remains in the center of the mold.
Once the wax has hardened, you can remove the candle from the mold. If you are using a candle mold that has a release agent, the candle will pop right out. If you are not using a release agent, you may need to use a bit of force to remove the candle.
Once the candle is removed from the mold, it is time to trim the wick. The wick should be trimmed to about 1/4 inch in length.
Now your candle is ready to be enjoyed!
