  • 5/5 from Bec Redfern, attended Mar 2024: Welllucky me I had Jac all to myself! This was a GREAT class, can not recommend it enough. I drove for a few hours to get there and it was well worth it. Jac is a wealth of knowledge in this area, she shared many pearls of wisdom and has set me up to start making my own beeswax candles as a little side hustle. With so many years of experience in the this area, there were no questions she couldn't answer and was very generous with this. I left with confidence to have a go myself and she was also happy to field any questions that might come up after the class. So. Good.

Jacqueline started Ecru back in 2015. A career in Sales and Marketing behind her, a tiny newborn beside her and a design qualification she wasnt sure how to utilise.
She knew she wanted a more mixed up day and the freedom to let her hair go a little wild [see: Curly]. She was also so sleep deprived she wasn't sure if returning to a corporate environment would be the best for her poor, innocent colleagues.
She put everything she had left in her reserves into the slow-build charmer, Ecru Candles.
Today Ecru Candles are a father/daughter team who handpour each candle with care. We aim to provide products to enjoy, and to support local business with quality products to present.
We are now offering workshops! Bite-sized experiences to give you the knowledge to go forth and start making also, or to simply escape the day-to-day and have some fun.
