Introducing The KINDRED LANTERN

Kindred Lantern was founded by A Little Light Candles and Unearthed Ceramics, two women-led creative businesses, out of a love for slow craft and traditional methods. Driven by a desire to create tactile, intimate objects, the two artists set out to design a lantern that encourages people to pause, gather, and connect.

The Kindred Lantern ceramic wax lantern is a handcrafted object designed to bring gentle light and atmosphere into any space. Every component of the lantern is carefully shaped by hand and fired in situ, then lit with a purpose-built lantern candle. The etched design flows seamlessly from the ceramic base into the wax shade, creating a continuous pattern beautifully revealed when illuminated. Made across the studios of A Little Light Candles and Unearthed Ceramics, the lantern combines traditional craft techniques with a focus on slow, intentional making.

The unique packaging is also custom-designed by the creative pair, hand-finished, and includes a hand-sewn Japanese paper instruction booklet, with sustainability front of mind in every choice.

We imagine that this lantern is all about longevity, sharing stories and moments of ritual that make life beautiful.
