All Burn Wax & Edible Art Pop-In

Join us for an exciting two-part Pop-In-From-The-Neighborhood event with All Burn Wax and Edible Art by Natsuko.

ALL BURN WAX

While All Burn Wax, established in March of 2022, began as distraction during the Coronavirus pandemic, the hobby quickly turned into a true passion for making non-toxic, organic soy candles. Founder Diana Aalberg discovered her calling in the art of candle making – enjoying the unexpected nuance that it takes to create a cohesive Pacific Northwest-inspired scent. In the last three years, she has continued to grow, boosting her online presence and expanding the business, eventually moving into a brick-and-mortar location in the heart of downtown Portland across from the Powells Bookstore. You can find a range of their products for sale inside the Powells, or you can visit their website to see the full collection of candles, room sprays, plants, and artisanal AAPI/BIPOC crafts.

The brand is committed to including zero-waste products in the line, and Diana still hand pours every candle and room spray in her home studio to ensure each candle burns clean and bright. She has spent the last three years cultivating her line of candles and room sprays made with safe ingredients and a modernist aesthetic. This woman-owned company has worked hard to build a small but loyal customer base who just can’t get enough of these local products.

EDIBLE ART BY NATSUKO

Edible Art by Natsuko seeks to bring you the art of traditional Japanese Confectionery, known as Wagashi. Intricately designed to be pleasing to the eye as well as the mouth, each of these sweets are hand crafted and inspired by the seasons. The founder has always loved Japanese Confectioneries, a love that began in childhood. From simple mochi daifuku, to elaborately sculpted nerikiri, to the gummy crunchiness of crystal kohakutou, they all have a special place on the menu.

As each miniature piece of art must eventually be eaten, their fleeting nature makes them all the more beautiful.

Join us in welcoming these two local businesses to campus for a pop-up product tabling just in time for the holiday season!
