Celestial Candle is designed to be a candle holder. It as a slab cylinder that has been cut into so that the candle’s light escapes from the pottery. The bulbous half-spheres surrounding the outside would be representing the planets, with the top of the candle holder as the Sun and the blue background as space itself.

I tried to capture how spring tends to sneak up on you. You never really notice until you hear the birds chirping and the puddles splashing. You start to see brown mountains, buds, and patches of grass soon after.

This was my first time working with ceramics and glazes. Though the clay was uneven in some parts, and the colors were a but darker than expected, I think it turned out pretty well.

I really like the demsions and level of contrast I achieved.
