Less than four years after its creation, Bougies.info, the french version of this site, has become THE reference for all french-speaking candlemakers.
Today we're proud to introduce HowtomakeCandles.info, aimed at our fellow english-speaking candlemakers from the United States, the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
We hope you'll find the site instructive and useful and thank you for your patience while the articles are progressively translated into english.
