The studio.

The Pour House sits behind a Ponsonby Road shopfront and runs as much as a teaching studio as a production line — Saturday workshops, by-appointment fragrance consultations, and a supply of single-flower candles into the better Auckland boutiques. Pōhutukawa-and-jasmine is their summer staple.

Signature.

Pōhutukawa, jasmine vine, fig leaf — bright florals on coconut wax

Vessel.

Tinted apothecary glass, custom-blown

Other studios in the region

Tāmaki Makaurau holds the largest concentration of candle studios in the country — Grey Lynn, Onehunga and Kingsland have a pour-house each within walking distance. Sea air, big windows, and enough discerning homewares boutiques to support small batches.
