Welcome to Lumibee Studio. My name is Elsie-May Hanna and I am an artisan candle maker. I create all my beeswax crafts out of a dedicated studio based in my family homestead in Harkaway Victoria, Australia. I began exploring the process of purifying beeswax in 2020 as an effective way not to dispose waste after harvesting honey from our beehives. Candle making naturally became a passion which then developed with the hand dipped taper and then onto other beeswax crafts.

"The art of beeswax itself is a journey from the floor of the hive to light which ascends" - personal reflection

"The repetitive motions of hand dipping beeswax candles are both meditative and a mastery of concentration." - personal reflection
