STAR Studio & Artisan Gifts, part of STARability Foundation’s Social Enterprise program, is excited to announce it has launched a new line of specialty candles – the Spa Collection. 

Hand-poured by participants of STARability Foundation at their STAR Studio, located in the Naples Design District, the fresh collection features a sleek ceramic tumbler and bamboo lid with three soothing scents, including:

Glam: Lemongrass, black currant and sugarcane

Glow: Bergamot, amber, gardenia and coconut

Gratify: White eucalyptus, mint leaf, marine and juniper

The bottom of each candle is uniquely signed by the STARability participant who created it.

Candles can be purchased individually for $32 each or $85 for three. The collection is available in person at the Studio’s artisan gift boutique, located at 106 10th St. N., or online at starabilitystudio.square.site. Wholesale pricing is available.

The STAR Studio is an inclusive, joyful space where more than 80 participants of STARability Foundation come together to create through vocational training, paid employment and recreational art classes. All gifts for sale in the on-site boutique were crafted, illustrated and packaged entirely by these STAR artists and artisans of all abilities. Handmade gifts include natural soy candles, hand-beaded bracelets, illustrated cards, tea towels, calendars, holiday ornaments and more. All proceeds from sales support STARability’s innovative and life-transforming programs and services to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities gain invaluable skills to reach their goals of employment, engagement and independence.

The STAR Studio welcomes partner retailers and also accepts corporate and custom orders. STARability currently partners with organizations to offer STAR Studio products throughout Naples, including Inspired Closets, Naples Art Institute, Naples Zoo, Sandpiper Clothiers, Wonder Gardens and more.
