I am Hannah and I run Time to Burn, which is a female-led, independent scent studio in Cheltenham in the Cotswolds. 

I have been making candles for 10 years! In 2021 I was diagnosed with a rare auto immune arthritis and had awful headaches from.all the synthetic fragrance oil candles I made, so I decided to make my own scent blends using 95% essential oils and I've never looked back.Every scent on this site has been developed by me so is unique to the brand..

My candle jars are also handmade in my candle kitchen using jesmonite - taking 3 weeks to make, cure, seal and pour, they are a real labour of love and work of art. I can make only 9 candle jars at one time, so they are really well truly "small batch".

i love hosting candle-making workshops where we use only essential oils to make our own natural candles - now about 1/3 of guests are returning customers so I must be doing something right!
