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.
