How it is made
Toyama, Japan
A candle holder has exactly one job, which is not falling over. This one is low, wide, and outweighs the candle it carries by a factor of about twenty.
Wax that runs down the column is left where it lands or lifted off cold with a thumbnail. Brass takes neither personally.
River sand fine enough to hold an edge is packed around a pattern, then the flask is split and the pattern withdrawn.
Brass is brought to a little over a thousand degrees and poured in one continuous movement. Hesitation shows in the finished surface.
The mould is destroyed to release a single casting. Each one is made from sand that has never held this shape before.
Only what must be worked is worked. The cast surface keeps the grain of the sand it was formed against.
Sand-cast, then hand-spun on a lathe to bring the column true.
Four hundred years of copper and brass casting, begun when seven founders were invited to settle the castle town in 1609.
