Thanks to all for your suggestions on getting candles to stand up in
my candlesticks. I did find an approach that seems to work at least
for "standard" tapers (I'm not going to worry about trying to fit
hand-dipped ones!). The "standard" candles I measured seemed to
be pretty close to 7/8" diameter, which for my clay means I need
a 1" opening. Along the lines of Lynne Antone's suggestions of using
a mini-rib/template, I used a rubber mini-spatula that I had lying
around (which just happened to be exactly 1" wide), trimmed the end
to be rounded and symmetrical, and used it to open the candle-cup,
being careful not to move it around too much and enlarge the hole.
I just got the first candlesticks out of the glaze fire, and they fit
great!!! Stick the candle in and it's tight enough to turn the
holder upside down without the candle falling out, no messing with
dripping wax, etc. Yes!
Also, I discovered today what many of you probably know, that you can
get little color-chips of Formica at your local mega-hardware store
-- just right for cutting little candlestick-ribs out of if you don't
have a mini-spatuala handy.
Thanks again to all.

Dear All,
A small commission - candlesticks. Well...as many many many as possible. I
was just inquiring if anyone has any website photos of their ceramic
candlesticks - made on the wheel, extruded, or any other possible method.
She would like them to be 6 or so inches in height. Any informative advice
you may be able to provide for me? From searching the archives I found 2
emails which explained to "cone" the top so the candle can better fit and
the other to make the depth for the candle to fit "snuggly" at least 1". And
some other advice I hear was to make sure you have an outer edge for the wax
to catch. Any photos for example anyone?
Thank you so very much for your help!

When I think of pottery candlesticks, Suze
Lindsay's spring to mind. There's a photo at
the bottom of this page:
www.forkmountainpottery.net/suzelindsay.html
And another here:
www.flickr.com/photos/extremecraft/45326751/in/set-990642/
I was reading this morning and was surprised
to find out that, according to Rabbi Eliyahu
Kitov, an earthenware menorah could be used when
new but not again, "... for once it has been
used, it becomes unclean and ugly and becomes
unfit to be used again."
Happy Hanukkah to all who start celebrating it
tonight!

Thank you Lisa! (And All...) Yours are exactly what I needed to see -
simple, elegant, wheel-thrown. She would like them to be raku fired w a
copper glaze so that should be nice. Yes you are correct....Tara, I did mean
candlestick holders - I guess I was just shortening it! And to see other
designs was helpful nice as well.
Thanks so much!

Hello Ron -
Thanks for the message - even about candlesticks.
I don't know what else to say - something about posting to Clayart being
theraputic, maybe.
Very, very good to hear from you out here.
Take care.

Hi Barbara,
Best to ask a firefighter what they think of ceramic, glass and wood candle
holders.
They usually say they think they should be banned.
Always a good idea to include a warning like "do not leave burning candles
unattended."
Thay can still cause fires when the flame gets close enough to them to cause
them to crack.

That's sounds like it's from the Orthodox branch of Judaica. The
teaching is much more strict. I doubt it if it would be for Reformed
Jews, otherwise there would have been different menorahs each year at
the reformed temple' annual Chanukah community lightning.All those
candles, really beatiful.I'm not sure about the Conservatives, but I
doubt it.Kathryn in NC

Thank you Helen for the plethora of websites - I would not have found them
alone! Definitely expanded my ceramic candlestick knowledge. Now for the
attempt....
Thank you all.
-Barbara
I actually do have a few very small candlestick holder attempts in my raku
collection of photos on this website if you are so inclined to look - but I
am trying something more of substance to satisfy this consumer....we shall
see.....

Murphy,
I was wrong about the candlestick holder.
Candlestick means the holder not the candle.
A taper is the candle that goes in a candlestick.
Sorry,
Tara
