Our Story

Poured by hand, one small batch at a time

Fern & Wick began at a kitchen table in West Asheville with a simple idea: candles that smell like the mountains we live in. Every candle is poured by hand in small batches using clean-burning soy wax, cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance. The terracotta vessels are meant to be reused; soak out the last of the wax and keep a pen, a succulent, or a matchbox in it.

Soy wax

Clean-burning, renewable, and poured at low heat for a smooth finish.

Terracotta vessels

Hand-glazed, reusable, and warm to the touch, like mountain clay.

Small batch

Poured, labeled, and packed by hand in Asheville, North Carolina.
