Celestial Collection - Making candle stick holders for my Christmas Kiln Opening!
Hi Friends
The fourth instalment of my Kiln Opening series is also the last one of 2024! In this series I show you behind the scenes of each new collection that takes place seasonally throughout the year.
Here I show you my Christmas collection inspired by all things celestial and how I make these cute candle stick holders perfect for the cosy season ahead. Each one is wheel-thrown, trimmed, decorated with slip and finished by attaching a decorative ribbon handle.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Your creativity is inspiring! So are your color combinations. Just lovely.
Aw thank you so much! So so kind of you :) Merry Christmas!! x
WOW! These are absolutely amazing!! The balloons are incredible. What great ideas and creativity you have.
Ah thank you!! So lovely of you :) Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas xx
I love your videos, your studio, and absolutely your beautiful work. Question…How did you put a light in the hanging houses? Happy holidays!❤
Thank you for your kind words! They are small battery powered led lights (originally meant for lighting up balloons I think) they have a little loop on them that I can thread a ribbon through for hanging xx
Your talent and imagination to transform clay into magical pieces of art is incredible! A tutorial on the hot air balloons would be amazing. 🙏🏼
Absolutely I will try and film a tutorial on how I make them :) Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! Merry Christmas x
These are all SO beautiful! 😍 I'd love a tutorial on how to make the hot air balloons pleeeaaassee! 🤗☺️
Yay thank you! I will try and film that in the new year :) Merry Christmas xxx
Always so magical.love them!
Thank you xx
You candle holders is awesome. Merry xmas from santa home finland😊
Yay thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too! x
❤the tiles
Thank you so much!
Love the idea of the speckled clay
I'm so jealous. I really want to get into pottery but it's not cheap at all...
Hey! If you want to pay with clay hand building with air dry clay at hot is a fantastic way to start that is very cheap x
@@BlankEarthCeramics Thank you I'll try that! :) I have experience with ceramics, as a teen we did it at school, and they baked it for us. So my lack of experience lays mostly in the lack of products and experience what to buy. But yeah maybe I need to do it more often again before investing! It's been a while after all. Love the channel :)
Did you build your studio . It looks like a lovely spot to make pottery
Yes my husband and his dad did for me! It has a lovely view :) Thank you for watching xx
Love the videos
Thank you so much!! x
They are epic!!!! Beautiful pieces, they made me smile ❤
Yay thank you so much!! I'm really glad xx
Your cottages are so lovely. I enjoy watching your videos they’re very inspiring . Thank you for sharing your experience and process. Clay is a wonderful medium to work with.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words!
Everything is so beautiful. My favorite is white raku house. You are so good😊
Yes! that raku crackle came out so lovely! Thank you for watching xx
I absolutely adore them! I reached out earlier via email about possible dates you have in the new year. I look forward to hearing from you soon 😀
Ah thank you so much! I just replied x
These are darling!! Thanks for your tutorial❣️
Thank you for watching!
These are so cute! Sure would like to see how you construct the roof, though.
Oops! Sorry about that. If I had read all previous comments I would see that you have a tutorial on that! Thank you!
@@calliedavis1406 Hehe no worries so glad you enjoyed them :)
These are the most BEAUTIFUL tiles I have ever seen! ❤️❤️❤️
Hehe aw thank you so much xxx
So beautiful!
Ah thank you so much x
thx. What do you with the cut off pieces?
You can let them dry out and reclaim them. by adding water and wedging back into soft clay. Thank you for watching!
what kind of clay did you use :)
This one was a speckled stoneware but there are specific tile making clays you can use to too
Incredible. This is a really tempting way to make our bathroom distinct and warm! You mentioned the recipe for the green tiles, but did you mention where you got the recipe for the "opal" tiles? They are truly stunning. Thank you for making the time to make this.
Thank you for watching :) Yep here is the opal recipe - glazy.org/recipes/131996
STUNNING
Thank you so much x
Amazing results and fan video.💖.Can you please help me telling me what the produce that I have to use as a coat base for the wax warmers to do not get yellow from the fire? Thank you!
Thank you! You can glaze the bottoms of the warmers then any discolouration from the fire should wipe away. xxx
They are just stunning! Well done!
Yay thank you so much xx
Those two tone mugs with the carvings are so gorgeous! You mentioned you could share your glaze recipes. Would you please share the green and brown glazes on the two-tone mug and the opal? Thank you so much!
Hi Patricia - thank you for your kind words :) Sure the brown is this one: glazy.org/recipes/56085 The green is this one: glazy.org/recipes/32034 and the opal is this one: glazy.org/recipes/131996 Thank you!
@BlankEarthCeramics Thank you so much! 💚
Very beautiful! I've recently discovered Kurinuki pottery and I find it incredibly satisfying! Probably my favourite way to make stuff now.
Amazing! Its the best :) So glad you enjoyed the video - thank you for watching xx
These are lovely. I’m inspired to make one. My only hesitation is the reclaim process. Would love to see a video on how you manage. I haven’t seen one, but perhaps I’ve overlooked it. Thanks for sharing your process
Yes I won't lie the reclaim process its a bit of a task, I have plastic boxes all along the top of my shelves that I dry all the scraps in and then reclaim them in buckets then dry on plaster batts. I'm always in a cycle of reclaiming so I don't let it build up haha! My dream for the future would be a pug mill. It's one of those things that you get used to an incorporate into the day. I might include it in a video in the future - maybe one about the annoying but essential tasks to keep the studio running. Thank you for watching! x
@@BlankEarthCeramics thanks for this! I reclaim all my throwing bits, but the carving you do seems like…a lot. Helps to know you dry it out first. I really am interested in trying bc I hate building with slabs, I think I just need to try
Excuse me my brother can I ask you Please tell me how to make your own handmade ceramic ventilation block without having to use a machine thank you 🙏🙂
Fantastic video, what type of clay body are you using?
Hi Thank you so much! This is a stoneware clay with some grog in it :)
So pretty !
Ah thank you so much xxx
Loves these! I just made a bowl with leaf prints from my fig tree on the outside. I’m trying to find the perfect glaze. Please send me the link to the glaze if you can! Thank you!
That sounds lovely - fig leaves will look great! The green oribe glaze was this one: glazy.org/recipes/112401 plus 7% copper xx
Hey Su, i adore your videos! I'm thinking of buying a rohde ecotop 43l or 60l. Are you happy with yours? Would you buy it again? I really want to make miniatures and maybe a few mugs i think a kiln like big Alice will be waaayyy overkill for what i need. Are there any reasons you use that one over your ecotop, other than size? X
The Rohde ecotops are great smaller kilns - the 43l was really easy to use and suited us at the start we just out grew the size but for what you are wanting to make it sounds perfect x
@@BlankEarthCeramics thanks so much, that's really helpful to know! Xx
Where did you find out about this technique?
I would love to see your packing area inside
Thank you!! I will try and film it for a video xx
Thank you!
Thank your for watching xx
I love all of your work! Your color combinations are sooo good
Thank you so much xxxx
There so beautiful your pumpkins. I can't wait to get mine out from the wood kiln.
Ooooh very jealous of your wood firing!! I bet they will look amazing! Thank you for watching :) xx
The pumpkin mugs are super cute! And I love the mushroom wax burners. Thanks for sharing!
Ah thank you of your kind words :) Thanks for watching xx
the glaze combos are chefs kiss but your undervlaze paintings are fantastic. beautiful work.
Hehe! Ah thank you so much for your lovely comments :)
Awww how cute those pumpkins are!
Ah thank you!! xxx
I love your little cottages!!! Sooo darling
Ah thank you so much xxx
Omg…sooo cute!!❤❤❤ you mentioned glaze recipes….any chance you would share the yellow and brown ones on the “squash pumpkin”? Lovely!!❤
Sure thing the yellow glaze is this base glaze glazy.org/recipes/78051 and replace the cobalt and iron oxide with 6% high fire yellow stain (www.bathpotters.co.uk/high-fire-yellow-inclusion-glaze-stain-ref-zl-258/p3410) and 2% honey stain (www.bathpotters.co.uk/honey-leadfree-glaze-body-stain-b124/p279) and the brown is this one: glazy.org/recipes/17361
Just breathtaking work 🌈
Ah thank you so much!!
I've started paying close attention to your glaze colors for when we order our place setting, everyday set. I think the only thing that isn't listed online that we might want is a black for my husband but the others will be regular colors I think. I'm getting excited about it though and can't wait to email you back with our official order lol 💙LOVE your work! So much cuteness in one place I can hardly stand it🤩
Ah thank you Kera!! I do actually have a black glaze so when you want to order just email me and I can send you a photo :)
So cute! Love everything you do! 💙
Ah thank you!! So lovely of you xxx Thank you for watching :)
Everything you make is so cute
Can you do a vid on those mushroom ps? So cute
Yes!! that's a great idea - I'm making some for the Christmas collection so will be able to film for a video soon x
Yeah
