Can Turn candleholders are made from ordinary
household tin cans. Coffee, fruit, vegetable, olive oil and
brew cans are some of the favorite ones artist Keri
Anderson uses because they vary in size.
Using an oxy-acetylene torch with a pencil
thin flame, the original designs are burned into the tin cans
without drawing or stenciling. After the design is finished
the cans are then shaped by hand. The heat from the torch
melts away all treated parts of the metal and turns a nice
deep purplish blue dark pewter - like gray. Each piece can be
treated with a rust protective glossy finish, and if not and
left outside may rust. This also provides a nice rustic
look.
