This week I’ve chosen to create a tool for the apocalypse for my most recent assignment. In the past I’ve seen and recreated a small space heater created from terra-cotta pots and tea-light candles. The idea is that candles in open air lose the majority of their heat by dehumidifying the air. So, the air becomes dryer but not warmer. This terra-cotta arrangement allows the candles to heat air without losing heat to water vapor. I’m not sure if I’ll need to use tea lights or votives but I hope to create an arrangement that will heat a small space with only candles.
