Candlemaker for Dummies

Alright, so a candlemaker is someone who makes candles. They take wax, which is a substance that comes from bees or plants, and they melt it down so it's all liquidy. Then they pour it into a mold and let it cool and harden. Once the wax hardens, they take it out of the mold and they have a candle! It's kind of like when you make ice cubes in an ice tray - you pour water in and then freeze it, and then you have ice cubes. The candlemaker does the same thing, but with wax and a mold.

But a candlemaker might also be someone who sells candles or works in a store that sells candles. They might not actually make the candles themselves, but they know a lot about candles and can help people pick out the perfect one for their home. It's like a cheese expert who knows all about different kinds of cheese and can help you choose the best one for a fancy dinner party.

So, a candlemaker can be someone who physically makes candles, or someone who knows a whole lot about candles and helps people find the right one for them. Pretty cool, right?
