candlemaking
Pouring molten wax
Candlemaking is the craft of producing candles, typically by melting wax and pouring it into molds around a wick, or by repeatedly dipping a wick into molten wax.
Once a household necessity, it survives primarily as a hobby and artisanal trade: She took up candlemaking during the pandemic.
