THE MAKER BEHIND THE GLOW

Scott hand-pouring a candle into a dark vessel in his Evansville workshop

SCOTT SCHRAMM
Evansville, Indiana

REAL HANDS. LOCAL ROOTS.

Made here.
With a little more soul.

I’m Scott, the maker behind SJS Homemade. Here in Evansville, I bring two hands-on crafts together: concrete vessels and small-batch candles.

The city we call home sits along the Ohio River. Our pieces belong in the homes around it—on your coffee table, in a friend’s new place, or beside the chair where you finally slow down.

Every concrete vessel has its own character. When the candle is finished, that character stays: as a catchall, a décor piece, or a new home for a little plant with a suitable liner.

Shop one-of-one candles

1. Pick your vessel — every one is one of one.

2. Pick your scent and wick.

3. I pour it within 24 hours of your order and deliver free on Saturdays in Evansville.

SMALL BATCH. HAND POURED.

What’s in your candle

A 10 oz. candle, hand-poured in small batches in Evansville, in your chosen handmade concrete vessel.

Your scent and either cotton or wood wick are included in the $28 price.

ENJOY YOUR CANDLE WITH CARE

Candle care

Never leave a burning candle unattended. The vessel gets hot: use a heat-safe surface and let it cool before handling. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and anything that can catch fire.

Follow the care label supplied with your candle for wick trimming and burn-session limits. Never burn a candle in a cracked or damaged vessel.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you order.

What does the candle price include?

Every 10 oz. concrete candle is $28: your one-of-one vessel, chosen scent, pour, either wick and free local delivery. Indiana sales tax (7%) is calculated and displayed in your cart and at checkout.

When is my vessel reserved?

Choose your scent and wick, add your candle to the cart, and pay securely with Stripe. Your vessel is held while you pay and sold when payment succeeds. Scott pours within 24 hours of your paid order.

Can I reuse the concrete vessel?

Yes. Once the remaining wax is safely removed and the vessel is cleaned, use it for décor, small items, or as a planter with a suitable liner.

When should I light my candle?

Your candle is poured fresh for your order, within 24 hours of payment. Fresh-poured candles smell best after a short rest — for the strongest scent, let yours sit a few days before the first burn. It only gets better.
