Hand the Light

Hand.The.Light started in Massachusetts when our founder, Akvile, fell in love with the candle-making process and acrylic paintings and turned a simple hobby into a growing passion. What began as a personal creative outlet quickly turned into a way to bring people together through art, light, and community. Rooted in a love for nature and handcrafted experiences, we now offer soy wax candles, original acrylic paintings, and mobile candle-making workshops across New England, VA, NC, SC, the Buffalo and Philly areas, and the LA region—with plans to light up even more states by the end of 2025. Whether you're gathering friends, coworkers, or family, our workshops are a chance to slow down, get creative, and take home something meaningful. At Hand.The.Light, we’re all about spreading creativity, connection, and a little bit of magic—one candle at a time.
