How to Style Your Candle House Year-Round

You don’t need to wait for the holidays to showcase your candle house. Try these ideas:

  • Mantels & Fireplaces: Arrange two to three houses at varying heights.

  • Tiered Trays: Add texture and glow to your kitchen or coffee bar.

  • Entryway Tables: Welcome guests with a warm ceramic glow.

  • Bookshelves & Nooks: Mix with books, greenery, or garlands.

  • Bathroom Decor: Yes, really! A soft glow near the tub = spa vibes.

Use LED tea lights for safety and longevity, especially if you love to leave them glowing all evening.

The Artist Behind Blue Sky Clayworks: Heather Goldminc

Every Blue Sky Clayworks piece begins in the mind and studio of artist Heather Goldminc. Heather started Clayworks over three decades ago with a dream: to bring charm and imagination into everyday homes through handcrafted ceramics. In collaboration with Blue Sky, we have been able to bring her craft to so many more collectors around the world.

Inspired by fairytales, vintage markets, and the magic of the seasons, Heather designs each piece with playful elegance. Her signature style is unmistakable—whimsical yet refined, nostalgic yet fresh. To this day, she remains involved in the creative process, sketching, painting, sculpting, and guiding each design.

Collectors often share stories of how Heather’s creations mark milestones—first homes, holiday traditions, and meaningful gifts. It’s that personal connection, that joy, that turns every candle house into a piece of art.
