Earth Candle

“Carma”
5” x 4.5” (approx.) Red Rock Clay

A great holiday gift idea from Red Rock Candle & Gift. Red Rock Clay Oil Lamp handcrafted from the red clay of Sedona. Each oil lamp is a one-of-a-kind treasure inspired by the landscapes of the Southwest.  Carma developed her own style & technique (unique to her alone.)  She throws each piece on an electric wheel and then sculpts and designs her abstract and floral appliqués.   She is renowned for working with non-glazed raw clay.  Each lamp can be burned all day long 365 days a year without damage to the lamp or its fiberglass wick.   (The wick does not consume, it just wicks up the lamp oil.)  Since no two lamps are identical, let us pick out a special one just for you.

Hand molded  clay

Hand sculpted clay and hand painted Chulucana Lovers.
A great holiday gift idea from El Picaflor. The primary material used for Chulucana  Pottery is native Peruvian clay and mango leaves. The artist starts kneading the clay until it is easy to mold and use the paddle and the polishing stone to give it shape. Then the piece is placed in a low firing oven to obtain what is called bisque. Then the piece is placed in another kiln fed with mango leaves to acquire the semi-dark hue characteristic of Chulucana ceramics.
