Ölmeljus Diversehandel

Ölmeljus & Diversehandel has an assortment of self-made candles and chandeliers, local crafts and candle-making courses in Ölme, just outside Kristinehamn. All in a cozy old-fashioned environment.

Welcome to Johan and Carina's shop and candle workshop. In the autumn of 2022, Ölme Diversehandel moved back home to Ölme after being located in Parkmagasinet for many years. Many of the museum items can now be found in the new shop.
In a separate space, candles and chandeliers are made, which are available for sale in the shop. Ölmeljus Diversehandel offers local crafts from the area, Mor Carin's cheesecake, jam, and Älvan's honey, as well as gift items from near and far.

Ölmeljus products are also available for purchase at places such as Kristinehamn's Tourist Information, Värmland Museum in Karlstad, and Ölme Rectory.

Ölmeljus also offers candle-making workshops where you, together with friends, colleagues, or family, can make your own candles. Candle making together is a peaceful and enjoyable activity. You can’t rush it, as the dipping process takes its time. Slowly, you’ll see the candles grow larger and become beautiful!

Visit their website and click on "Calendar" under the "Courses" tab . There, you’ll see available and bookable dates and times. Then, you can email or call Johan Engholm to book. Candle-making can take place during both daytime and evening hours, on weekdays and weekends – you choose when the course starts on the day you’ve booked.
