Tall and Top-Heavy - How I Keep these Candle Holders Steady

Candles in a group create a lovely atmosphere and so in this video I am making candle holders. I show you how I make three variations of candle holder on the pottery wheel. Tall narrow candleholders can be tricky and prone to wobbling and collapsing so Ill show you how to keep them supported. Then it's on to decorating and once firing.
