Cups for beginners (that is NOT a Cup!)

#cups #pottery #ceramic
this is a very basic demonstration for beginners on how to throw a cup on the wheel. a cup pretty much razors down to being able to make a normal size cylinder, but with that comes a couple of rules.
most of my demonstrations are meant to help people get past they're beginners classes in college or school. in that same light I just wanted to go over what would not usually be accepted as a cup in the class of the I have attended.
_
we are very close to our final episode of the beginner stage which will be on throwing mugs.
then we can actually have some fun.
Edit: the audio may sound a bit funny in a few spots, the door was closed and it affects the sound.

So mature, informative and educational. :) I hope high schools will use your tutorials... You are talented, funny and entertaining. I love your original sayings.... like... "Potter Tip" and your sense of humor....... So, anything can be a "cup", but if you put a hole in the bottom... it's a planter............ ;}

[@EarthNationCeramics]

True

[@WhoTookMyMirr]

As a student who's struggled to grasp the absolutely insane mental gymnastics my instructor puts us through, thank you so much for your sense of humor and your helpful tips! Also I LOVE that black and gold glaze on the cup in the intro!

[@wilsonchow9731]

I recently told all three of my ceramics classes I attend to subscribe and follow your videos or the kiln gods would punish them. So lets hope they listened.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

The kiln God's vengeful. They remember names

[@brandymanchester9344]

Thanks for the lip edge ideas!

[@Dianaaaa1596]

“Kyle!” “Ashley” “Brenda!” 😂😂 I love watching your videos!

[@shelley_park]

you must pull pots in your sleep man. Excellent throwing!

[@gretchenarnot4311]

Thank you Dante,you are a star..very helpful

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

Thanks for the disclaimer at the start of the video, otherwise I might have made myself look silly by coming at you with "But what about traditional sakazuki style sake cuuuuuuups, those aren't cylindeeeeers! Bligaaaargh!" ; ) Although if I were in your class, a sakazuki is probably exactly what I would turn in, they are just so beautiful and I can't stop myself from heading right for what I find most A E S T H E T I C when learning a new art.

[@majellarohini]

good points to consider, when i can eventually get to this stage.

[@emincapak]

The enemies will be very upset about this, boss.

[@xenophile620]

"Too big and it's really a vase, you're not going to drink out of that." Bro, you haven't seen my rum and coke cup :)

[@katerinasamuseva7767]

[@dawnthompson1002]

[@aleung2026]

I am watching yr video in 2022. They are fantastic because you explain a lot of details

[@EarthNationCeramics]

People who appreciate the extra in-depth explanation > people who Skip around the video looking for one piece of information without the context.

[@enya-morganheinrichs5341]

Thank you! Appreciate your videos and instructions

[@tolqar6563]

the smallest cup you made reminded me of the tea glasses i drank from in china, safe to say i drank a lot of them lol

[@RobinAlanaBerry]

Fourth dimensional trippy acid shapes - bwahahahahahahaha!!!

[@bettytaylor9430]

Hello Dante, May I ask what kind of sponge are you using while you are pulling up the cylinder?

[@PascalDickhoff]

Never drank from a cup so comfortably

[@laurabaezdiaz6708]

[@DennixFabulous]

that first tint “cup” looks like a Chinese tea cup🤣

[@panibear]

What is good amount (weight) of clay to make a cup for practice?

[@Tacocatpiss]

6:40 I'm pretty sure Dante made a joke about eating ass.

[@duchessnicoleduke9109]

I'm overeating RIGHT NOW.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Me too.......

[@pottersjournal]

Sorry this may not be a beginner question, but how do we get people to buy a cup? or beaker? or what ever you call them, a mug without a handle. I hate making mugs with handles. A cup like form, something to drink out of without a handle, it must be the most used beverage utensil in the home, often even made out of plastic, why would you drink out of that? The big question is how do we get people to buy a cup ???????

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Make them functional as well as visually interesting. , Go to places where people want them, tables, craft fairs, you gatta our yourself out there. But first..... Get good at making them.

[@alyssamarescalco1431]

You probably have a whole years worth of consumer info now but I would say I don’t gravitate towards cups because they feel too heavy and don’t hold enough liquid. This is because if I want a glass of water I’m going to want more water than I would say coffee or tea. Also you drink water differently than a hot drink. I hold the mug and drink at a different less laborious angle than I would a cold drink of that makes sense.

[@charlesballard5251]

I wonder what it would be like to drop acid and watch your vids.....? I think I can get a government grant for that!!!!!

[@maggiemo4593]

but but, the small no-cup has a perfect espresso size... ;-)

[@Made2hack]

Cylinders.... so that was my problem. Apparently pyramids does not a cup make!

[@animekiss225]

Shot glass: I count as a cup 3:03 boi

[@pat8820]

[@donm6578]

3:27 oh sh** he watched the trevor wallace vid! A 2nd kyle-related vid came out today btw

[@EarthNationCeramics]

.... Who?

[@dawnsimpson4804]

I love your videos, thank you... I noticed that you have a tropical paradise towel on your lap. Molokai?? ALOHA, from Molokai!

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I found it at goodwill. I stay in California.

[@reneeamyot4261]

Hi. How much earth do you need for a cup? 300 gms? Thank you

[@EarthNationCeramics]

A normal teacup is about 300 g, yes I would suggest starting with about 500 or 600 g though if you're a beginner just to get a hold of the weight. You also end up trimming a little bit of clay off but once you get proficient at throwing it takes around 300 g.

[@reneeamyot4261]

@@EarthNationCeramics Thank you! Merci. Yess. I am a bigginer! There is a start to everything!

[@lavenderdeng6364]

That shotglass looks like an Asian tea cup

[@j.morganlooney1080]

Can you cover whether hotdogs are sandwiches next time?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

They are not.

[@dorrisjpful]

What type of clay are you using in your videos? Fire to what cone? Does it have grog in it?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Bmix cone 5 , fired to cone 6, and no.

[@mutanttipossu]

So where do you drink your espresso from? Huh? HUH?!! If it's "I don't drink espresso" or "shotglasses", then it's a total frowny face from me. A TOTAL FROWNY FACE!!! :((( Small cups are cups, yo! Ok, I'm not actually that keen on the taxonomy of ceramics. Great content, keep it up!

[@chrispya1]

I have itty-bitty cups for espresso and big mugs for hot cocoa and everything in between!

[@chitrak9540]

I wonder all those names you keep saying, do you actually know those ppl or those just some random names you are throwing out as you are doing the lesson? 🤣🤣

[@rondacorkhill1654]

cappo cup

[@dancampbell5068]

Egg CUP??! Hello???

[@ryangregson3256]

"...but that's more of a millenial thing, I don't know what's up with that.." What is he talking ab.... oh. OOOh!

[@Ryan6.022]

Okay I think your camera angle is messing with my eyes because I could swear that all those cups were super lopsided even though I watched them made and know they couldn't be.
