From Burnout to Candlelight
The Story Behind Sculptedwax
Clean-burning candles made with care in Australia
Losing My Spark in Motherhood
I’m Connee—founder, creative, and full-time dreamer behind Sculptedwax. I’m also a mum to two little girls, balancing the juggle of motherhood, part-time work, and building a business that fills my cup (and my home) with warmth.
Sculptedwax was born during one of the hardest, most transformative seasons of my life.
Right after having my first daughter—in the middle of the COVID lockdowns—I felt like I had lost myself. There were no visitors, no family, no village. Just me, a newborn, and the quiet weight of exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and isolation.
The version of me I used to know had disappeared.
Finding Calm in Candlelight
I didn’t know it then, but I was searching for something to ground me.
Candle-making started as therapy.
Melting wax. Blending scents. Moving slowly and intentionally. It gave me space to feel calm—and like myself again.
Every time I lit a candle, it felt like a whisper:
“You still have a light inside.”
And from that quiet reminder, Sculptedwax was born.
Sculptural Candles That Melt Into Art
I didn’t want to just make candles that sat pretty on a shelf. I wanted to create an experience—something that told a story with every burn.
Our candles are sculptural by design, but they’re made to be used. As they melt, they transform into unique pieces of wax art—fluid, imperfect, and beautiful in their own way. Just like you. Just like life.
No two burns are the same.
That’s the beauty of it.
Clean Ingredients, Poured With Purpose
Every Sculptedwax candle is:
- Hand-poured in small batches here in Australia
- Made from clean-burning, non-toxic natural wax
- Crafted with care, emotion, and intention
Whether it’s a soft floral, fresh citrus, or grounding amber, each scent is created to bring calm and connection into your space.
Built on Self-Kindness and Slow Rituals
Sculptedwax is more than a candle brand—it’s a reminder that:
- You deserve a moment to yourself
- Self-kindness isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifestyle
- Beauty can live in everyday rituals
- You are still allowed to begin again
We believe that a candle can be more than just wax and wick—it can be a soft place to land.
From My Home to Yours
This is still just the beginning for me and for Sculptedwax.
Whether you’re lighting a candle to celebrate, unwind, or simply survive the day—you’re creating a memory. And that’s what we’re here for.
We create memories, not candles.
Thank you for being part of this story.
With love,
Connee | Creative & Founder of Sculptedwax
