Modela has collaborated with a three generation family of creative artisan beeswax candlemakers, Casa Viviana, in Oaxaca, Mexico for several years. This family workshop is a favorite. The family graciously opens their home for you to watch the laborious process of candles being made for weddings, churches or Day of the Dead. Their native language is Zapotec although they speak Spanish, as well.

The Process: A half gourd is dipped into melted beeswax. The thin film of beeswax is then placed in the sun to bleach to white. The family takes the bleached beeswax and adds natural dyes such as indigo or marigold flowers or cochineal to color the wax. All hand poured.
