A note. A mood. A night.

Sarah and Joey, the makers behind Hartisans

Sarah & Joey

The flame behind Hartisans

Boston, 2020. Joey started pouring so he could share his light with friends and family. The gifts became a company — small batch, sent with care, now in every state.

After they married, Sarah and Joey brought the studio to Durango. Same label-free soy candles. Same quiet luxury. Now poured together, sold online and at local markets.

Nothing makes us happier than our light burning in your home.

Reviews

Ordered my first one years ago and I still haven’t found anything I like more. I just reorder when it burns down.
Megan · Phoenix
Got mine at the Durango market on Saturday. Came back the next weekend for two more.
Chris · Durango
Love that there’s no giant logo on the jar. It actually looks like it belongs in my house.
Hannah · Portland
Doesn’t give me a headache like a lot of candles do. That’s why I keep buying them.
Dan · Minneapolis
Sent one as a gift. She texted the same night asking where I got it.
Rachel · Boston
I see them most weekends at the market. Pretty much always leave with a candle.
Maria · Durango
Third winter ordering from these guys. Same candles, every time.
Alex · Dallas
Dragged my neighbor over to their booth. She bought one too. That’s how it goes around here.

Scent notes for a Hartisans pour: botanicals, oil, and a label-free jar

Light it. Love it. Grow it.

From candlelight to new life

The same vessel, four lives. A flame, then soil, then water, then air. Clean it out when the wax is gone and grow something in its place.

1. Fire
Light the candle.
2. Earth
When it is gone, fill the vessel with soil and seed.
3. Water
Give it a drink.
4. Air
Let it grow on the counter.

Fire→Earth→Water→Air

Questions

What people ask before they light one

Soy, the oil, the first burn, the vessel after. Short answers. The long ones live in the journal.

Are Hartisans candles soy?

Yes. 100% soy wax. No paraffin. More

Whose fragrance oil do you use?

CandleScience. We name the oil on every product page. More

Why is there no label on the jar?

The scent is on the bottom. The room gets the glow. The vessel is meant to be kept. More

Do you pour to order?

Yes. You pick the oil and the vessel. We pour it in Durango. More

Where are Hartisans candles made?

In Sarah and Joey’s kitchen studio in Durango, Colorado. Not overseas. Not a co-packer. More

How do I keep a soy candle from tunneling?

First burn until the melt reaches the edges — usually two to three hours. More

Can I reuse a Hartisans vessel?

Yes. That is the point. Warm the last wax, wipe it out, and plant, or keep the jar on the shelf. More

How long does a poured-to-order candle take?

A few days in the kitchen for a ready oil and vessel, then shipping. If something is still traveling to us, the product page will tell you. More
