Candleholders for a Wedding




Our younger daughter is getting married this fall and I volunteered to make votive candleholders for each of the approximately 120 guests.

Surprisingly this has been a fun opportunity to revisit some old glazes and try out new glaze combinations on different clays. 

I rummaged around in the buckets of test glazes from two years ago and found one particular glaze that may become my new favorite.

The first photo is of a batch of holders drying before the bisque firing.  The next two pictures are of a few of the finished pots. My new favorite glaze in on the left of the last photo.
