About

Step outside the world of jewelry with this in-depth video by Karen on how to create a functional metal clay candle snuffer using Cyprus Copper Clay. This tutorial covers the construction of the main snuffer bell, the handle or stem, and a decorative floral embellishment with a set stone. This project brings together form and function at a larger scale, while using just 19 grams of clay! When firing this candle snuffer with Cyprus Copper Clay, we recommend a slower ramp: Phase 1 : Slow ramp at 400°F/ hour to 650°F and hold for 30 minutes, on top of coconut carbon. Phase 2: Slow ramp at 400°F/hour to 1650° and hold for 3 hours, buried in coconut carbon. The tools and supplies used in this video are listed below.
