About Flint & Wick

Hello this is David and Gemma, husband and wife duo and the creators behind Flint and Wick. Our journey into candle making began in 2019 as just a thought whilst David was working away at Mt Buller for the snow season, he had met and worked with a lovely man who actually had his own candle business and explained the flexibility that candle making offered. This was very appealing to the both of us as we have a love for scents and constantly burn candles around our home (mind you we would only burn and buy our three favourite candle fragrances repeatedly). The idea of making candles was appealing but it wasn’t the right time to look into actually starting the process especially with our plans to move interstate and press reset on our lives. Fast Forward to 2021 when we finally made our interstate move across the country to the sunny shores of Western Australia and were looking for a creative hobby that we could do with one another, David remembered his candle making colleague from Mt Buller and instantly thought “how hard could it be to make a candle?” The candle making research began and we explored many online resources, viewed video after video from the university of youtube, contacted suppliers and put together a basic candle making kit which consisted of: 16 litre wax melter, 4 Fragrance oils, cotton wicks, wick tabs, wick stickers, a pouring pitcher, some glass vessels (the same type of ones that our candles are currently in) and a 15kg box of wax.
