On the edge of Saddleworth Moor, in a tiny workshop at the bottom of an 18th century weavers cottage garden, you can hear the low hum of churning candle jugs. Such is my passion (some would say obsession) for creating candles, it could be any time of day or night, with pheasants or owls providing the background music.

At Evoco, our candles are hand poured in small batches. I chose to work with golden soy wax after 12 months of testing because I believe if gives the cleanest finish of all the plant waxes.
