SVEČE

Ko so svečniki narejeni, se lahko lotimo tudi izdelave sveč. Svečarstvo je starodavna slovenska obrt. Izdelava sveč v modernem času pa se bistveno razlikuje od starega načina. Mi smo se lotili izdelave sveč še prav po starem postopku – z ulivanjem.

POTREBUJEMO:

  • Vosek (v kosu ali granulatu)
  • Olje
  • Plastične posode
  • Stenj ali bombažno vrvico

Pripomočki za delo pa so : Elektična grelna plošča, večji lonec z vodo, klešče in zaščitna folija za mizo.

POSTOPEK

V loncu segrejemo manjšo količino vode. Vanjo postavimo kovinski lonček, v katerega smo dali vosek. Pri segrevanju vosek postane tekoč. Medtem pripravimo plastični lonček, ki ga namažemo z oljem. Nad njega pa nastavimo palico, okoli nje pa ovijemo stenj. Previdno vlijemo tekoči vosek v plastični kalup. Čez pol ure je vosek strjen in dobili smo ročno izdelano svečo.

CANDLES

After finishing candlesticks we started to make candels. Making candles is an old traditional Slovenian craft. In modern times candles are made in much different way comparing to the traditional one. But we tried it the way our ancestors did it - with casting.

WE NEED:

  • wax (in piece or in granulation)
  • Oil
  • plastic dishes
  • wick or cotton string

The equipment: electric cooker, a bigger pot with water, tongs and a protective foil to cover the desk.

PROCEDURE

Heat a small amount of water in the pot. Put a small metal pot full of wax into it. While heating the wax melts. meanwhile prepare a plastic cup and oil it. Take a small stick and put a piece of  wick round  it and then put it over the cup - the wick down. Pour  the melted wax carefully into the plastic cup. Leave it for half an hour and your hand made candle is ready.
