  • A cute spherical tea light holder made from a simple pinch pot with holes cut through in a pattern for the light to shine through. This is a great beginners make as it helps you get a feel for clay and learn when is best to do different tasks dependent on how dry and strong the clay is.
    For the tutorial I did a spiral pattern for the video but you can do whatever pattern you choose as well as whatever shapes you would like, Let your imagination guide you and try different ideas

    Beautiful project. Thank you for sharing.
    Such a hole cutter is very handy, im going to look for one of those. All different size holes with only 1 tool.
    Have a merry christmas. 🎄 🎅

    Very disappointed that you didn’t link part two, underglaze and glaze to this.

      I haven't done it yet as I only recorded this on Monday and it's still drying. I'll record my decorating and the finished piece once it's out of the bisque kiln. I was thinking that I'd do a short but would you prefer a more in depth video? I'm thinking that I'll use copper oxide under a white brush on glaze....
