"All right, so what you want to do is get about that much clay for your candle stick holder. We sort it our from the rest of the that thing. So here we go. You have this much clay here and ready, center it up, press it down, there, all I'm just doing this is just making sure its nice and centered. I'm going to start with my thumb punch. Try to use the slip that you create instead of using the water. All the way down to the bottom. Bring it up. There.So now we want to start squeezing it up and you want to start building establishing the base. Find out how much thickness you have, how much clay you're dealing with here. And push it up. And that's where our base is going to be right there. So from here you start pinching and throwing it up. I'm going to show you how to collar this guy up so we can give it the proper height and then we'll have a candlestick."
