Discover AshWood Candles: Where History Meets Harmony
At AshWood Candles, our journey began with a deep passion for the past. Since 2012, our founder, Ash, has explored the world of archaeology, uncovering how ancient landscapes and monuments shape our present. When the pandemic made travel a distant dream, we felt the pull of history even more strongly. Our connection to the past seemed to fade as our worlds shrank, and we found solace in the simple, soothing glow of a candle.
The past is all around us, etched into our landscapes and woven into our daily lives. It has carved monuments and reshaped the environment, leaving a lasting impact on how we connect with each other. It’s a reminder of our shared history and how it continues to shape who we are today. At AshWood, we capture this essence in every candle, lighting up the stories of the past and bringing them into your present.
Why AshWood?
Crafting Memories with Every Flicker
Candles have always held a special place in our hearts. They transport us, comfort us, and bring a sense of calm to our lives. At AshWood, we take this to the next level. We don’t just make candles; we craft experiences that connect you to the ancient world. Each AshWood candle is more than a light source; it’s a journey to historic landscapes and timeless beauty.
Eco-Friendly, Archaeologically-Minded
Inspired by ancient craftsmanship, our candles are made from clean-burning soy wax and cruelty-free fragrances. Reflecting the skill of past artisans, we also prioritise the environment with recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable packaging. At AshWood, we honour history and care for the planet with every candle we craft.
Ancient Light, Modern Care.
The impact of climate change on our world is undeniable and far-reaching. For archaeologists and historians, one of the most pressing concerns is how shifting weather patterns, rising temperatures, and extreme weather events are threatening ancient sites and artefacts. Many archaeological treasures, once safely buried or well-preserved, are now at risk due to changes in temperature, sea levels, floodplains, and soil chemistry.
From eroding monuments to submerged artefacts, climate change poses a serious threat to the preservation of our past. The delicate balance of these historical sites is being disrupted, making it more challenging to study and protect them for future generations. This crisis underscores the importance of integrating sustainability into every aspect of our lives, including the products we use and the choices we make.
Understanding the gravity of this situation, AshWood Candles is committed to minimizing our environmental impact while honoring the rich tapestry of history. Our candles are crafted using clean-burning soy wax, which is a more sustainable alternative to paraffin wax, and our fragrance blends are cruelty-free.
Our dedication extends to our packaging as well. All of our materials are recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable, ensuring that our candles leave behind a minimal ecological footprint. We believe that every choice we make should reflect our values of sustainability and respect for the past.
