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!
The Christmas Celestial Collection is live on my website:

    • @BlankEarthCeramics
      @BlankEarthCeramics 2 місяці тому

      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

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?
