— ABOUT —

HANDS is a non-entity. 

We are the byproduct of deep collaboration —a loose amalgamation of artisans and our varied interests and fascinations. Focusing on materiality over materialism, we create limited release custom works and thoughtfully produced products with a focus on the longevity of craft, ethical sourcing, localized manufacturing, and understated design. 

We constantly seek fellow creatives who are as hungry to collaborate as we are.

 

— PRODUCTION —

All of our wax goods are hand-poured in HANDS studios, either in California’s Marin County or New York’s western Catskill Mountains. Working with the nature of organic materials and handmade products, all items are unique and distinctive —and everything we make both embraces and elevates the particular hand of their creator, as a featured design element. As we like to say, "We make nice objects, made by HANDS."

 

— CANDLE CARE —

A cloudy, whitish coating, known as a “bloom,” may appear on the surface of the candles or tray –this “bloom” is an indicator of high purity beeswax, and is the normal crystallization of natural oils in the wax as they rise to the surface. To revive the luster of your candles and tray, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.

Some pigments naturally fade with UV exposure –keep out of sunlight to preserve color, or burn to reveal the unfaded color within.

HANDS is not responsible for marks/damage to surfaces caused by (and due to) the nature of the material.
