Smells like: the shock of clean, cold water under a glorious sky.

Wild geranium has a bold and herbaceous scent, distinct yet not overpowering. Complemented here by earthy notes of sage and smoky vetiver, Wild Swimming is a candle that evokes a soaring sense of freedom.

These non-toxic, natural candles have been handcrafted by people that struggle to access mainstream education or employment.

The essential oil blends are carefully selected to create a calming state of mind. For best results, we recommend initially burning your candle until the top completely melts and trimming your wick once cooled to approximately 1cm. Burn time is approximately 45 hours.

This candle collection offers an opportunity to slow down and cherish the beauty of the natural world.

About the maker:

Sam Petherbridge is an artist and designer whose recent creative journey began using one very common material, paper. This medium initially influenced a body of collage during his BA in Fine Art at the University West of England, and more recently has developed within the practice of bookbinding, because it incorporates his two passions, design and craft. Sam runs a small business called Bōk Bindery and in the studio, is focused on paper-making, collage, and drawing. In 2017 Sam Petherbridge was an artist in residence at Campos de Guiterrez, in Colombia. In 2019 he also collaborated with poets and directed a show and program at the APT Gallery, in South East London

When trash becomes treasure celebrates 30 optimistic and enterprising designers, makers and manufacturers who use waste as their primary resource, offering a rare glimpse into the embryonic world they inhabit.
