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.

  2. Maybe you should up it from 120 to 140, just in case everyone replies with a "yes".
