Le Feu De L’Eau is an artisan candle studio founded by Wendy Polish and Jo Strettell. We are a small, diverse team of skilled candlemakers, designers, and creatives who handcraft each candle with care and intention.

We currently operate from two intimate studio spaces in California. Our Atascadero studio, nestled along the Central Coast, is where we craft our signature colorful wax vessels in water and create one-of-a-kind sculptural candles. In our Van Nuys studio, we hand pour each candle in small batches and ship directly to our customers with care.

Rooted in a passion for high-quality craftsmanship, we use only the finest ingredients and sustainable practices—from repurposing wax scraps to using recycled packaging and working with local vendors.

Over the years, we’ve collaborated with celebrated names like MOCA, The Hammer Museum, The Huntington Library, Wonder Valley, Edible Gardens LA, Ravenhill Studio, The El Rey - Santa Fe, John Derian, Terrain, Floyd Home, M.i.h Jeans, Merci, Colette, and Le Bon Marché.

Our work has been featured in publications such as Vogue, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, GQ, Forbes, Marie Claire, Domino, The Strategist, Martha Stewart, and Remodelista—a reflection of our commitment to artistry, quality, and timeless design.
