Description

This Christmas Tree candle holder was hand thrown on my potters wheel using strong white stoneware clay. Textured was added to give a more tree like appearance and finished off in a wonderful forest green glossy glaze. The holes around the tree allow the pretty light from the candle to twinkle through and mimic Christmas tree lights and decorations.

The candle surround is a hollow ceramic cone with an open bottom, it is placed over a candle. 

Simply light a small tea light candle and place the tree over it ensuring the candle is in the middle and the flame is not touching the holder.

Approx. Height: 180mm

How It’s Made

By Hand.

All of my work is handmade, predominetly on a potter’s wheel. Once the clay has been prapared the ball is transfered onto the wheel where the form is pulled. Once made, the peice is left to dry slightly overnight to a leather hard consistency before hopping right back onto the wheel to be trimmed with turning tools to remove any excess clay and refine the shape.

Once the clay has fully dried out after a week or two it goes into the kiln for the first firing – the bisque – where it will be slowly heated to 1030°c. The piece is then ready to glaze. Glaze is a slurry of different clays, chemicals and metal oxides which melt in the second kiln firing to create a glass-like surface, the metal oxides creating the colours. During this final firing the kiln will reach 1220°c.
