"We've long admired the work of East London design studio Wax Atelier, founded by Lola Lely and Yesenia Thibault-Picazo, both known for their poetic use of wax in everyday objects. This season, Wax Atelier is inviting visitors into their studio for a hands-on workshop making wax-dipped ornaments: delicate decorations formed from humble materials such as nuts, seed pods, paper offcuts, and even dried pasta. The ornaments make use of Wax Atelier's signature technique: shaping, heating, and dipping each piece by hand into layers of beeswax."
"As the wax sets, it softens the forms and lends a light, natural fragrance. It's the sort of holiday craft we like best: elegant, biodegradable, and completely plastic-free. At the Wax Atelier studio, each object is dipped by hand into different vats of colorful beeswax. Lola and Yesenia work only with UK- and EU-sourced beeswax and natural plant waxes (for color and scent) with little to no processing."
