About

Translated from the Tiv dialect, "Usu" (pronounced "ooo-sue") can mean ‘light’, ‘torch’, or ‘fire’. We grew up hearing this word often because our family is Tiv, a tribe of Nigeria.


When our parents immigrated to the United States almost 40 years ago, they took a chance on creating a new life for themselves and for their family.


They blazed their own trail.


Want to include a DIY candle making workshop into your next private event, team building exercise, or corporate holiday party?



  • Workshops are 100% mobile so we can come to you! We also work with venues to host events.

  • Private event prices may vary based on location, number of attendee and customization requests.
