VELAS SAN PASCUAL in Teotitlán del Valle
A family run beeswax candle workshop located in Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca. The candles they make are known in our community as velas de concha (shell candles) because in our great grandparents´ time shells were used as molds to make the wax flowers that adorn our candles. Velas San Pascual was founded in 2011 and are the third generation in their family to continue this tradition. They source their beeswax locally, supporting small scale beekeepers honoring their ancestors while looking towards a sustainable future.
