Course Overview
Not quite a closed form, but darn close!
and.... what about those fancy ribbon handles???
Today I will show you how I throw these lovely yet functional Oil Lamps. You could also use this design to hold a candle... or you could also add a pump for liquid, such as hand soap.
I start with 1.5 lbs of clay for these beauties...
I had some brass wicks, but have ordered some ceramic ones as I think they will be easier to get and to fit to the pot.
I "pull" these handles the same way as I do for my mugs, but make them considerably longer and thinner.
