I grew up in a small village in Ukraine, where my grannie often took me for walks in the forest or to pick mushrooms. Those moments are etched in my heart, and it's there that I learned so many crafty skills from her. I’m deeply grateful for that foundation because I can’t imagine my life without the creativity it sparked.

When I came to the USA in 2022, I discovered my passion for making candles. The process of hand pouring scented coconut-soy wax into unique, handcrafted cement containers feels like a continuation of the artistic journey my grannie started with me. Each candle I create brings me joy, not just in the making but also in the thought of transforming them into repurposed treasures, like flower pots or pen holders.

This craft is more than just a hobby for me – it’s my biggest passion. The candles not only fill homes with delightful aromas but also embody the love and care that echo from my roots. My hope is to make each space feel a little cozier and more connected to nature, just as my childhood walks did for me. I invite you to experience the spirit of Mavka through each hand-poured creation. 🌿✨
