Jerry Hurst - Master Candle Carver
Educated as a Registered Nurse and after working in the profession for a number
of years, I was looking for a change. I was introduced to the art of candle carving
thru Becky, my wife.
She had been working at a candle shop in Wimberley, Texas since
1984. After a few years we decided to start our own candle business. In 1989,
DESIGNS IN WAX was born.
In our early years we traveled as a family, Becky,
Jeri Renee, and Jenny making and selling candles at various state fairs,
county fairs, rodeos, and arts & crafts shows.
In 1991, we were introduced to
the world of RENAISSANCE FESTIVALS. Our first fair was SCARBOROUGH FAIR,
which we continue to do today and consider it our home fair. Since then we
participate at THE ARIZONA RENAISSANCE FAIR, THE NEW YORK RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL,
and THE CAROLINA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL.
With our continued interest in Renaissance festivals we have changed our name
to THE ROYAL CANDLEMAKER. Although our children are grown and have families of
their own, they still play a role in our family candle business.
In 1999, after many years, a retail store was opened
on the square in our home town of Wimberley, Texas.
The name for the renaissance
festivals has changed but our commitment to our customers by providing them with
the highest quality in carved and scented candles will never change.
