History
Established in 2021.
Callisto Terra began as a candle and wax melt business in the home of a local Toledo mom, Taylor Holloway, in March 2021 during the pandemic. It expanded into a candle studio & shop offering candle making classes and products at the Art on Market Shoppes in downtown Toledo from September 2021 - December 2022. They outgrew their downtown studio and opened a new storefront in January 2023 offering DIY classes including candle making and more!
Meet the Business Owner: Taylor H.
I have ALWAYS dreamed BIG. Bigger than anything that could possibly be within my reach. Life has come at me hard & fast but thankfully, I've had people around me (sometimes just ONE person) who has stood for me & loved on me until I could stand for & love on myself.
In all my dreaming, I've learned that WORK is the secret sauce. A really good, dedicated work ethic that will carry you through the sugar honey iced tea of life. Something that literally fuels you through every. single. time you want to give up.
I started Callisto Terra because I knew I always wanted to work for myself and I needed a business that I can grow and support my family of five with. I began with making candles and wax melts out of my home with my four kiddos and attended as many markets and pop-up shops as I could to get my products into hands, homes, and hearts. As the business grew, I opened a candle class studio & shop where I teach people to make soy candles by hand.
