Candlesticks and Candle Holders
Candlesticks are such a versatile project. You can make them elegant and fancy or county chic and casual. In this class I will show you two ways to make candlesticks /candleholders. We will be using basic slab building techniques and joining composite parts together to create a more complex form. These are a great project for testing out textures and glaze combinations. They also are great sellers at craft and art fairs or if you sell your work online. This class is perfect for all ages and skill levels.
Soap or Sponge Holder
This soap or sponge holder is a great project for beginners or for when you have limited studio time. I like to make these as a way to test out new textures and glazes. They also are great sellers at craft ad art fairs or if you sell your work online. This class is perfect for all ages and skill levels.

Magic Shaker
These double walled hollow bottomed Shakers are a fun way to make salt, pepper, herb and spice shakers and are a fabulous form to practice your throwing skills. This class is a bit challenging but with practice I know you’ll get it and will love making them!
Underglaze or Glaze Test Plate
Underglaze or glaze test plates are a great way to create a visual reference for your underglazes or glazes. This plate design has 24 scallops on the edges which makes it perfect for testing out 24 different colors.
I first saw test plates like these at the Sevres Ceramic factory in France. They have used this style of plate for centuries to test out glazes, underglazes, overglaze enamels (china paints) and lusters.
These plates are designed to hang on a wall so that you can quickly see examples of all of your underglazes/glazes.
