My story

Hi, I’m Lori- candle artist, creative workshop host, and lover of all things cozy and beautiful!

I’ve been hand-pouring candles and creating custom designs since 2012, starting with a wholesale business that grew to supply 35+ boutiques across the Southeast. Today, I get to live my dream every day at Restored Apothecary Candle Bar, a space I created to bring people together to pour, create, and make memories.

At my workshops, you’ll find a little bit of everything I love- gorgeous candle creations, custom scents, charcuterie boards, mocktail recipes, pretty tablescapes, and a whole lot of laughter. Whether we are pouring candle bouquets, crafting a candle that looks like your favorite drink, or hosting a birthday party or girls night, my goal is simple: to help you slow down, get creative and leave with something beautiful (and a heart full of memories).

If you are someone who loves creativity, connection, and a cozy vibe- you’ll feel right at home here.

Let’s make something beautiful together!
