How It's Made

How it's made

At BYAM we are keen to support the economy and maintain the sustainability of UK manufacturing. Our priority is to ensure our products are completely Made in England while being created to the highest standard possible.

Here we look into the process of how our luxury candles and coasters are created, detailing how they are made, showing the step by step process and what it takes to produce the end result.

BYAM Candle Creation

The fine bone china is more robust than you would think with the strength coming from the bone ash used in the body composition making it one of the toughest ceramics created.

A modeller creates the shape
The mould maker makes numerous moulds for the candles
A machine holloware makes the clay into the moulds
Biscuit firing takes place at 1240 degrees of heat, taking the wet clay into a hard vitrified body (product shrinks 13.7%)
The Vibro Machine takes away any impurities from the biscuit firing away
The candle base is then hand glazed and dipped into cold liquid glass
The candle is glost fired which melts the glaze to the body of the biscuit at 1120 degrees to form the white glaze
Decal printing then takes place - our BYAM illustrations and branding are silk screen printed and placed onto the candle
The decals are enamel fired onto the candle to fuse it to the glaze at 850 degrees
The candles are then packed and sent to be filled with our luxury scented wax
