Alyssa Robichaud Custom Candle Holders

By Alyssa Robichaud Ceramics. *These pieces are only available for in-store pick up. We apologize for the inconvenience! Custom made for Prelude & Dawn!  Shiny smooth hand built candle holder in white. Measures approximately 8.5″ high x 5.5″ wide x 1.5" thick (at widest). Fits most standard candle sticks. For a snug fit, melt a little wax, or put a little sticky tack inside the holder to secure the candle. The Process: Each piece begins with a sketch that evolves into a hand drawn pattern. I trace the pattern onto clay slabs that I roll out with a rolling pin then attach them together by scoring the edges and applying clay slip. Once attached, I let the forms dry until they are leather-hard and then begin to trim them. When I am happy with the shape, I smooth the surface and reveal the final form. At this stage I cover them lightly with plastic to allow them to dry slowly over two weeks, which reduces the risk of cracking. Then they are fired in the kiln reaching temperatures highe
