This tall tealight holder features a starburst design which will make a wonderful pattern in a darkened room. Buried in a pit to be fired, the peach, burgundy, off-white and black coloring on this piece is completely random, caused by flames interacting with banana peels, corn husks, wood shavings and other organic material in the pit.
Height: 7”
Diameter: 2-3/4”
Indigenous people have long understood the importance of fire to the natural world. It’s a matter of balance; there can be too much and too little. “Fire is a part of nature,” said John Waconda, a member of Isleta Pueblo and the Indigenous Partnerships Program Director with The Nature Conservancy. “It’s just like the rain, the sunrise each day. It’s a natural occurrence, a part of nature necessary to complete lifecycles of different plants and animals.” Frequent, low-intensity fires not only reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires by reducing the buildup of combustible debris, but are also essential to forest health. Land managers in fire-prone environments are now reintroducing low-intensity fires to the landscape.
