Thanks so much for your support, Kate
am part of a community wood firing group. We only fire the kiln about 4 times a year and the pots we get out of the firing feel really special.
The firing takes about 12 hours, but that is the most fun bit really. There is lots of preparation time required for the wood, put wadding on each pot so it doesn't stick to the shelf and then a lot of time carefully packing.
Wood firing is very different to using an electric kiln. If you can imagine part of the skill is getting the flame to travel all the way through the pots. The fire carries ash with it and this can make the clay body a lovely colour and shine. The pots are also reduced and so the glaze and clay are chemically changed, I can not recreate this magic in my electric kiln, or predict the outcome. We have celebrated the results and cried

Full description
This is a handmade pottery thrown tumbler made on my potter's wheel. This tumbler is made from stoneware which means it is very durable.
The tumbler is first thrown then left until it is leather hard, turned (trimming process) and I add my makers mark and the flower impression. Once dry it is bisque fired then glazed and fired a second time in this case a wood fired kiln.
All glazes are lead free.
This glaze has a celadon green glaze. It crackles giving a wonderful effect. The tumbler is filled with a hand poured beeswax candle. This will give about 40 hours of burn time. Once the candle is finished you can either put another candle in it or a small plant.
Dimensions:
Height about 10 cm
Diameter about 5 cm
All my pottery is made by me in small batches. There may be variations in size, colour and shape making each piece delightfully unique.
This is a listing for 1 candle tumbler.
