I’m Tori, the founder of Old Green – a small studio based in North Dorset, where we create natural, sustainable homewares using repurposed materials and thoughtful design.I first started Old Green as a way to slow down and reconnect with craft during a pretty busy chapter of life. I wanted to make things that were beautiful, practical, and kind to the planet. What started at my kitchen table has grown into a full-time business, with a small team, a bustling studio, and stockists across the UK.Laura has taken over teaching our workshops to enable me to concentrate on product development. There’s something really special about gathering people together, showing them how simple and satisfying candle-making can be, and seeing them leave with something they made themselves (and usually a big smile too!). It’s also lovely to demystify the process—people are often surprised by how relaxing it is, and how easy it is to carry on at home.We’ve taught hundreds of people over the years, from individuals to team-building groups and parties. Our classes are beginner-friendly, welcoming, and always full of good conversation and lovely scents.We’re passionate about low-waste living, and our candles are poured into reclaimed glassware that would otherwise be thrown away. So when you join us for a class, you’re not just making a candle - you’re part of a much bigger story about creativity, sustainability, and slowing down.
