    I would suggest wick stickers or hot glue to keep wick in proper location for a proper burn.

    Hi Mia, could you make these curvy candle holders with hand building as well? I do make my own candles, so this would be a great addition to the creative process. Thx

    love it !! i want to do this when i become more advanced and established.
    i have a couple questions.. is that a home made white speckled glaze ? and what is your opinion on wiping the bottom as you do vs. waxing the bottom ?

    • @PotterytothePeople
      @PotterytothePeople  2 роки тому

      Hi Emily, I didn't make the glaze, but I purchased it from my local ceramic supplier (Carl Jäger). I always wipe the bottom. I find it easier, cheaper, and I don't like to work with wax. But either way works :)

  • @sarahmaschek9696
    @sarahmaschek9696 2 роки тому +2

    Did you pre-heat the vessels before pouring the wax? Did it detach from the vessels when it cooled down? I tried pouring plant wax into ceramic vessels several times, but it always detaches itself from the vessels (no matter how warm the vessels).

    • @mariferreira5765
      @mariferreira5765 Рік тому

      Hi Sarah, did you solve this question? Because I have the same problem. All the candles I've been making are ruined. The wax just doesn't stick to the ceramic vessels.
      Do you already know how to fix it?

  • @julietardos5044

    A pair of wooden chopsticks, still attached to each other, makes a good support to keep your wick in place.

    Flabbergasted is my only word🔥👏🏽I’m going to learn this for my business. Is it beneficial financially in terms of price for materials to make finished product vs just buying a ceramic vessel already made?

    If the clay gets fired in the kiln, is that enough protection for the heat of the candle? Or is it a special kind of glaze?

    • @PotterytothePeople
      @PotterytothePeople  Рік тому +2

      The kiln is way hotter than a candle :) Any glaze should be fine!

  • @AllIsWellaus
    @AllIsWellaus 2 роки тому

    For what it's with. Maybe you could make a liquid funnel when you're pouring in the wax. It will better protect you and the bench. :)

    Beautiful, how long do you have to let the glaze dry before you can undertake the glaze firing? Thank you x

    • @PotterytothePeople
      @PotterytothePeople  2 роки тому

      I don't let it dry at all. It can go straight in :) I figure the heat from the kiln will dry it out.

    Hey, so before the leather hard stage, the piece doesn't need to be dried inside polythene to avoid direct air?

    Thank you so much for posting this video. Great Idea and really nice. I live in Canada and can't seem to get anyone to quote me on buying the clay, I think years ago it was $20. But firing and glaze no luck. I know you said we have to purchase the clay from the studio and for good reason. Could you just tell me your firing and glazing costs for one cup? Many Thanks again.

    • @PotterytothePeople
      @PotterytothePeople  3 роки тому

      We charge 5€ per piece for both firings & glazing service. Our clay is 6€ for 2kg. Hope that helps!
