We have our own ceramics called ‘ Dovedale Ceramics ‘
“Eazicandle” is our own brand of easy to make candle kits. ..We supply all our products to trade On Wick and a Prayer have been designing and manufacturing beautiful, handmade candles for over 25 years. Based in heart of the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District all of the products are made by a skilled team of artisan candle makers trained by An

nie (the founder) herself. Annie set up the business in 1997 at her kitchen table in the small home village of Tissington in the peak district, Derbyshire. Through experimenting with different waxes, fragrances, wicks and moulds she started to create her own ideas and designs concentrating on quality rather than quantity. On a Wick and a Prayer has now grown to employ 6 part and full time employees and her two spaniels who greet all visitors. With a large range of quality candles and home fragrances On a Wick now sell these products online and in the Tissington workshop as well as supplying products to a range of stockists. On a Wick also manufacture for other businesses making bespoke candles offering flexible production runs from 10,000 down to as little as 100 units.

Then the talented ladies at our Dovedale workshop hand paint them with our beautiful unique glazes ….the kiln gods work their magic and the glaze reacts with the heat ..thus each piece it unique !
