About Ximthorezolex
Our story, our craft, and our commitment to sharing the art of candle making
Our Story
Ximthorezolex began as a small passion project in Auckland, born from a love of handcrafted goods and the meditative process of candle making. What started as creating candles for friends and family evolved into a dedicated studio space where we now welcome others to discover this rewarding craft.
Our studio in Rosedale is designed to be a peaceful retreat from busy daily life. Here, participants can slow down, work with their hands, and leave with something beautiful they created themselves. We believe that making something tangible brings a unique satisfaction that few other activities can match.
Our Philosophy
At ximthorezolex, we believe candle making is more than a craft. It is a mindful practice that connects us to ancient traditions while allowing personal creative expression. Our workshops are designed to balance instruction with freedom, giving you the skills and the space to create something uniquely yours.
