Meet the Founders
Hi, we're John and Brett Marquez! In 2016, we turned our candle-making hobby into a thriving business. From our North Texas studio, we built Sawdust & Embers on quality craftsmanship and eco-friendly materials, using special soy wax blends and American-made containers.
Fun Facts
Our Favorite Candles: Brett loves Heathered Cashmere, while John prefers Muir Woods (inspired by a special trip and his first fragrance creation!).
Husky Love: We're proud parents to two huskies, Kyra and Nala.
Fun Facts
How We Met: A (now defunct) gay dating app – gotta love modern romance!
Winding Down: Brett enjoys snacks and a good show (true crime, TLC, or a book), while John keeps busy (it's hard to stop when you love what you do!).
Thank You Your support means everything! Choosing Sawdust & Embers helps us keep the tradition of handcrafted goods alive.
