Deborah started sculpting candles, self taught, in 1973 after seeing a candle in her aunt and uncles house. In 1976 she started doing craft shows while teaching Physical Education during the week.
Kenneth started making candles after dating the wrong woman!
He started his style in 1982 after being taught by Deborah, and has developed a new style. Each of his candles are unique, no two candles are the same, but similar.
