Thrown Chambersticks

Thrown Chambersticks

Chambersticks are both beautiful to look at and functional. Before electricity Chambersticks were used to carry candles from room to room and the large base served to catch any wax that may have dripped. I like to add a glass candle chimney (also called a hurricane) to my chamberstick making it a beautiful candle lamp.
In this class you will learn how to make a double walled form on the pottery wheel.
