JenniferK Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I am curious about this as I never want to offend anyone by using the wrong term or title. What do folks who create candles as a profession call themselves? Is it simply "candle maker"? "Candle craftsperson"? What???Thanks! I am just getting started into this... so, if I seem to ask rather basic questions, now you know why.jen k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The official title is "Chandler." Candlemaker is more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Guess I better get a lot better with this craft since my real last name is Chandler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well Luci, you have to live up to your name. LOL! I was thinking the correct term should be "hope you like your day job" (this applies only to me), don't want to offend anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 My title is ex-chandler lol.... though every time I called myself a chandler, someone would tell me its a supplier of boat supplies. Well, yes, I know that, that's the *other* definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferK Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 I was thinking maybe "candle artisan" sounds kind of nice. :undecided Feedback???jen k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfswickery Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I love that the name is Chandler and that I am a Candlemaker!!My maiden last name is Chandler. That is also what our business name is since it is my mom and I. But I mostly go by Chandler. That is what everyone knows me as and always has and I have only been married a year and is military and gone a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
