Handcrafted in Lincolnshire: Our Candle + Ceramic Collaboration with Sophie Olivant

There’s a certain kind of beauty in things made by hand - pieces created slowly, with care and intention. This season, we’re delighted to share our limited-edition collaboration with Lincolnshire potter Sophie Olivant. A hand-poured soy wax Palo Santo candle paired with one of Sophie’s handmade ceramic mugs. Together, they celebrate thoughtful craftsmanship and moments of calm at home.

Two Makers, One Shared Vision

We both share a love to travel and be in the sea! We both believe in the quiet value of handmade. Sophie’s ceramics are wheel-thrown and glazed in her Lincolnshire studio, each piece slightly unique - timeless, minimal and made to be used and loved.

Our Palo Santo candle, blended and poured by hand using eco-friendly soy wax, brings a grounding, wood-rich fragrance that’s ideal for slow mornings or peaceful evenings in. When the candle is finished, the mug becomes part of your daily ritual - a lasting piece of craft to enjoy long after the flame has gone out.

Celebrating Local Craftsmanship

This collaboration isn’t just about the finished pieces, it’s about community, connection and a shared belief in sustainable making. We’re proud to support local Lincolnshire artists and businesses and to create something that’s designed to last - mindful gifts that reflect our place and philosophy.

Made with Purpose

At Hobo + Co. every candle tells a story of craftsmanship, calm and conscious living. By collaborating with local makers like Sophie, we continue to honour what's most important:
