My name is Fay, and I’ve spent the last five years crafting with cement—from cement candle vessels and home décor to teaching workshops and guiding other makers through this beautiful (and sometimes misunderstood) craft.
When I first began my journey, cement crafting felt exciting… but also overwhelming.
I quickly realized there was a large community of people struggling to find clear answers:
What type of cement should I use for candles?
Where do I find quality molds and supplies?
Why did my piece crack, bubble, or cure unevenly?
Am I doing something wrong—or is this normal?
Instead, it felt like all of us were learning through trial and error, sharing bits and pieces of advice, and hoping for the best. What made the journey difficult wasn’t the craft itself—it was finding the right answers.
The Patience Behind the Process
Cement crafting requires patience, intention, and consistency. Not because the craft is impossible—but because the learning curve can feel discouraging when you don’t know why something went wrong or how to fix it.
I stuck with it anyway.
Through years of testing, failing, experimenting, researching, and refining my process, I slowly began to understand cement on a deeper level—how it behaves, how to work with it (not against it), and how small adjustments can completely change the outcome.
After five years of dedication, I can confidently say I’ve mastered the craft of cement making—and more importantly, I’ve learned how to teach it in a clear, approachable way.
Why I Chose to Teach
As my skills grew, so did my desire to help others avoid the same overwhelm I experienced.
I wanted new makers to:
Feel confident starting
Understand why things happen
Fix simple mistakes without frustration
Enjoy the creative process instead of feeling stuck
That’s why I built a collection of cement crafting courses, designed to live all in one place—so you never have to search endlessly for answers again.
These courses walk you through everything I wish I had when I started:
Cement candle making
Cement home décor
Tools, supplies, and trusted sources
Common mistakes and easy fixes
Tips that save time, money, and stress
No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just clear guidance from someone who’s been there.
