Each piece is handcrafted in small batches. We develop our own signature glazes, which react dynamically in the kiln, creating organic textures and rich surface variations that give each vessel a distinct character.

Rooted in natural elements and design-forward forms, our ceramics are meant to elevate daily rituals and invite a more intentional way of living. More than objects, our pieces are artifacts of process and material, blending refined craftsmanship with the unpredictability of fire and earth—a balance that cannot be replicated.

Each piece ishandcrafted at Dweller Studio, located on the historic Mission San Juan grounds in San Antonio, Texas. Every ceramic is made by Matthew Centeno, creator and owner of Dweller Studio, using carefully developed glazes and firing techniques that create one-of-a-kind textures and finishes. Each vessel reflects a deep dedication to craftsmanship, intentionality, and the raw beauty of natural materials.

Dweller Studio fragrances are crafted with depth, balance, and longevity, blending rare naturals, absolutes, and refined aroma compounds for a scent that evolves over time. Unlike mass-market options that rely on synthetic-heavy formulas and overpowering top notes, our scents are designed to be nuanced and immersive, unfolding naturally in your space. Each fragrance is rooted in nature, evoking a sense of place and atmosphere rather than just masking the air.

Our candles are made with coconut apricot wax, which burns slowly and cleanly for approximately 40–50 hours (for a standard size). To maximize longevity:

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn to prevent soot and uneven melting.
• Allow a full melt pool to form on the first burn to prevent tunneling.
• Avoid drafts to ensure an even, consistent burn.
• Extinguish with care, using a snuffer to reduce smoke and preserve fragrance integrity.

Following these steps ensures a longer, cleaner burn while maintaining the candle’s scent throw.

Our fragrances are designed to be present but never overpowering, creating a layered, atmospheric scent that evolves naturally in your space. Unlike mass-market candles that rely on sharp, synthetic top notes, our blends have depth and warmth, diffusing gradually for a more immersive experience.

With clean-burning coconut apricot wax and high-quality fragrance compounds, our candles and room sprays linger subtly, enhancing rather than masking. Expect a balanced throw—noticeable but refined—lasting for hours after use.

Our fragrances are crafted with depth, balance, and intention, blending rare naturals, absolutes, and fine aroma compounds for a scent that unfolds gradually rather than hitting all at once. Unlike mass-market options that rely on synthetic-heavy formulas, our blends are designed to evoke a feeling, a place, or a moment in time—creating an immersive atmosphere rather than just a background scent.

Each fragrance is layered like fine perfumery, with top, heart, and base notes that evolve as they interact with your space. The result is a nuanced, lingering presence that enhances your surroundings in a way that feels effortless yet deeply intentional.

Unlike store-bought air fresheners that rely on harsh synthetic chemicals and one-dimensional top notes, our fragrances are layered, atmospheric, and designed to evolve over time. Instead of an instant, overpowering scent that fades quickly, our blends bloom naturally as they interact with air circulation, temperature, and the unique character of your space.

We use fine fragrance compounds and natural elements that create a soft, lingering presence, enhancing rather than masking. The result is a subtle, immersive scent experience that feels refined, intentional, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
