CHAPTER XXXI HOMEMADE CANDLESTICKS F you are working in clay try makinga few candlesticks. If you haventthe clay, why not get some at onceand begin this most fascinating work?Candlesticks are always decorative;even the old tin candlestick with itshalf burnt tallow candle has a certainpicturesqueness that the artist recog-nizes when he chooses that as anaccessory to his picture instead of theprosaic oil lamp. Then again, candlesticks give a wide scope toindividuality in design, and that it gives expression to onesoriginality is one of the greatest charms of pottery making. A potters wheel is not at all necessary. The primitivemethod of coiling the clay and gradually, without hurry, buildingit up into the form desired is far the better way for home workers.
