Come connect with the makers shaping our creative region. Each quarter, Springboard for the Arts spotlights a local creative business in downtown Fergus Falls. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes view of their work, hear their stories, and learn about your creative neighbors! November’s gathering will showcase local artist Sam Oberto, maker of Free Soul Candle Co.!
Featured Artist: Sam Oberto (she/her)
Bio: Hey there! I’m Sam — the wax alchemist behind Free Soul Candle Co. I grew up in St. Paul, MN, and now live tucked away in a cozy little corner of Fergus Falls.
I’m a nature-loving, introverted homebody who’s happiest in the garden or hanging out with my chickens. Before settling back in Minnesota, my husband Vince and I lived in Florida, spent time traveling the country in a van, and even called a tiny house in Colorado home.
These days, my hands are busy pouring small-batch soy candles made with organic wax and cotton or crackling wood wicks. Many of my candles are infused with dried botanicals — grown right in my garden or gathered from local florists — and finished with curated crystals.
Alongside my candles, I also make Car Diffusers, Reed Diffusers, Wax Melts, and Room & Body Aroma Mists, all created to bring warmth, peace, and a touch of soul to your space.
