square block candle

Copito is a project by Clara Infante, a natural dyer and multidisciplinary maker and artist based near Barcelona, Spain. Her explorations with plant and earth pigments are often manifested through her sculptural wax creations.

These beeswax block candles are infused with plant pigments and are the size of a standard soap bar (9x9x2.5 cm). Each burns for approximately 3-4 hours. Trim the wick (to about 0.7cm) if you would like the candle to burn slowly and do not leave the burning candle in a drafty spot where it can burn unevenly (and is also a hazard). Collect any leftover wax and reuse it to make playful candles or in other home-crafts.

Please practice fire safety, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For best results, burn over a plate or ceramic candle dish to avoid spilling hot wax on your furniture.
