😳🕯️😵‍💫 Candles as People You Know: You know these people, and we’ve found their hyper-specific personalities in candle form!

👻 There’s the one you’re pretty sure is a ghost, a witch, or both—featuring Catherine Sieck’s 100% beeswax tapers adorned with hand-cut copper charms. Haunted, but make it charming.

🌀 We all know the person who has a billion tabs open at a time—think apothecary at happy hour—6pm Candle Co.’s "Oracle" burns for 60+ hours with warmth and complexity. Their brain has 17 side quests, but at least the air is calm.

🌷🥂 And of course, we all have a friend who’s graciously always hosting the next dinner party, featuring Calico Botanicals’ hand-dipped, hand-sculpted Tulip Tapers—their events have a waitlist. Obviously.

Scroll for the rest of the lineup and tag your witchy friend, resident drama queen, or host with the most. 👀 (Lovingly. Or with plausible deniability.)

On view through October 31, “The Candle Show” brings together artists shaping candlelight through sculptural candelabras, candleholders, and wax-based forms.

ICYMI: Drippy Pots just dropped these new cups at Asher: Off the Wall—playful, gooey, and oh-so-fun to gift (or get for yourself). Shown here is the Galactic Tum Tum cup, which is as much fun to use as it is to say!

About Drippy Pots:
Brian Giniewski (Brian Giniewski) is the Philadelphia-based ceramic artist behind Drippy Pots. These vibrant, drip-glazed pieces unexpectedly went viral on Tumblr. Today, these “weirdos” (as they’re often called at Brian’s Philadelphia studio) are wheel-thrown and meticulously hand-glazed, infusing every pot with its own unique personality. More than just objects, they aim to capture the magical feeling of Brian’s first encounter with clay and provide a big, fat dose of joy!

Share or tag a teacher who would rock these! ✏️🍎🤟

Our Clutch City Collection closes today! 🤠✨

Don’t miss your chance to shop our curated selection of Asher-exclusive works celebrating the Bayou City, featuring custom pieces by Morgan Hill (); jewelry by exhibiting artist Alam Lalani (); prints, pins, and postcards by Josh Ryan (); and pony shoes by Cody Barber (), powder-coated in colors that tip their hat to Houston.

There are only a few of Josh Ryan’s Candy Coated Slab pins left! Created for our Clutch City Collection, this enamel pin is inspired by Houston’s slab culture and features a hinged design with all the slab necessities: lots of chrome, elbows, a fifth wheel, and a trunk that pops to show off the sound system and neon underneath—and, of course, that signature candy-coated paint. 🚗🎶🔩
