What Sparked Aspen Carved Candles

Aspen Carved Candles is a woman-owned small business, created by me, Kelly, and run with my fiancé Jack—plus our two dogs, Sammie and Oso, who are never far from the action.

I first learned to carve candles more than 10 years ago while living in Breckenridge. It's something I've always wanted to come back to, and after years of keeping that creative itch in the background, I finally decided to go all in.

Now, from our little studio in Carbondale, we handcraft each candle one at a time. Every piece is carved by hand and made to glow from within. Our candles are intentionally unscented so you can add your own essential oils and create a personalized experience.

Whether you found us at a farmers market or online, thank you for supporting handmade—and for helping this dream come to life.
