Definition
The craft or process of making candles by hand.
Etymology
Gerund form of the compound 'candlemake,' combining 'candle' and 'making' (from Old English 'macian'). The term became common when discussing the traditional craft, especially as industrial production displaced the art.
Kelly Says
Candlemaking used to require rendering animal fat and required serious skill to avoid smoky, smelly results—so when someone says they're into 'candlemaking' as a hobby now, they're actually doing something medieval people did out of pure necessity!
