The Cottage Stillroom & Beeswax Candle Factory, Inc.

The Cottage Stillroom got its start in the spring of 1981. This company experienced its humble beginnings as an acquaintance introduced the centuries-old craft of hand-pouring beeswax into tin "tube and funnel" moulds. There was an immediate bonding with the art form of the age-old French processes and the use of that wonderful substance. Aline Bowles felt heart-ties with this art form that soon resulted in the formation of the business she now owns and operates. The kindly affection she had for the old techniques experienced early in her exploration has not been diminished over the years. It is her conviction that there is much to be preserved and shared with others of the quality found in hand-producing a product of quality using completely natural raw materials. That is the driving force behind much of what goes on here at The Cottage Stillroom today.
