window candle light holders
Can I use ovenbake/airdry clay to make candle holders?
Is it possible to use ovenbake or airdry clay to make a candle holder? Specifically, the candle holder’s design would be similar to this one:

The tealight goes inside and light and heat escape through the little windows and doors.
Or would it be safer to alter the design to have a glass globe to hold the tealight, like this design:

Is this something that ought not be attempted with clays that aren’t fired in a kiln?
I wouldn’t use either of those clays for the covered design – even oven-baked can’t withstand a flame or the heat buildup inside the structure, and any paint you might use will suffer as well (or may even catch fire depending on what you use).
Stick to the chimney idea – don’t allow heat or flame to come near any clay unless it’s kiln-fired – and be careful of painted surfaces as well.
