Wine Goblets Made My Way.

Throwing wine goblets in two parts, the bowl and the stem. Assembling and detailing using a Giffin Grip and trimming tools. As a bonus the video was filmed during a noreaster with all the impressive visuals associated with a classic winter storm.

Amazing work. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing. I cant stand the cold.

[@Vsmithpots]

The older you get the less the cold has appeal.

[@AlpacaRenee]

Yes we can hear the wind. Thank you for your generous sharing your expertise. I love your videos!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks and stay safe.

[@angelalamothe3008]

Thanks!

[@Vsmithpots]

You are welcome.

[@pottersjournal]

Tough thing to make and you have your own way. I like that. I take it there is a lot of monitoring and controlling how they dry? Excess moisture on stem bass from hydroplaning off, then it drying from top down? Would love to know how Warren McKenzie's were made but that's another story. Yours too, look as if they would feel good in the hand, and you'd want to drink from them. Few others do.

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks, the next video has some surprises for me too, I think I found a new goblet for me.

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Nice and elegant! Thanks! My goodness you'll need a dog sled to get across the road.

More snow tonight after 13C yesterday and -8C for a high tomorrow, crazy weather.

Sunday mornings with your videos are the BEST! Gorgeous Goblets! I'm looking forward to seeing them when they come out of your glaze kiln. Thanks for the trimming tips...that pen "trick" 👏👏👏👏👏!!!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks Connie. The next video on alternative goblets shows them finished.

[@melrussell7830]

Wow that looks very cold Vaughan, ice rain that’s one thing I haven’t come across in the UK… Wonderful goblets 😍 I made some candle stick’s in one and that was very difficult, because I wanted the height, but with not much success 🙁 I hope the winds have improved and that your power didn’t go out… Best wishes Mel

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks Mel. We were 13C yesterday and snow tonight with -8C for the high tomorrow. Wild fluctuation this winter. Definitely not bike riding weather.

[@triciac1019]

I would love to go there also. Their studio looks amazing.

[@mikeduffer6858]

Very Nice. Love it. Looking forward to the finished product. Question; When you weigh down your tiles for drying to keep them from warping. Do you also keep them covered in plastic or let them air dry?

[@Vsmithpots]

I let them air dry in a damp cupboard. It slows down the drying and stops drafts.

[@vikibobula8930]

It is wonderful and on time Your clip. I just made my first goblet out of one piece, yesterday. Left a heavy base, the top is just for a shot. First one! I am wondering how I get the base trimmed, without the grib? But good idea your version of throwing and putting together and trimming. Thank You very much for sharing!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks and trim yours by holding the base down with lumps of clay, you might try wetting the bottom again and sticking it to the wheel head again. Make sure it is leather hard before trimming.

[@vikibobula8930]

Thank You very much for Your lines!!

[@swathirao4711]

Beautiful pieces.The faceting gives it so much character. Look forward to other ways of throwing goblets. I attempted throwing goblets all in one piece but that restricted the length of the stem.

[@Vsmithpots]

The same with my one piece goblet. My next goblet video revealed one I like better.

[@janiceblair9558]

Another great video and I love Don Sedgwick’s music…….so evocative of place.

[@Vsmithpots]

I will let Don Know. It has been tough for musicians the last two years.

[@RBCharger]

Nice. Out of those seven goblets, it looks like you could have ended up with a set of five even though you only needed four for your set.

[@Vsmithpots]

Always make extra, someone will buy it. Thanks.

[@laurajackson9870]

Thank you for feeding the gulls after that nasty storm. I feed the magpies all winter, too. I'm looking forward to getting the teapot you made in the mail!

[@Vsmithpots]

It should arrive this week. Thanks

[@Acadian_Proud]

Still beautiful!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks

[@cgapeart]

I sat down at the wheel today to give these a try. (Self taught hobiest that likes to play with mud). Your comments about big hands and small balls of clay hit home. I found I had to throw a bit differently than I used to to make the small pieces without twisting chunks off the top of the stem or ripping the bowl. I basically had to form the top and then push that piece upwards from below adding maybe a finger of height on each pass. I could barely touch the top - I could just barely keep the shape smooth and blended, but was always one tiny twitch away from running the attempt. Does that make sense? Anyhow, I had a fun afternoon in the studio, and tried to do something new and challenging. Thanks!

[@Vsmithpots]

The type of clay and stiffness makes a big diiference. B-Mix 5 is the easiest to use for these. I will add another demo of this in my bowls video coming the first week of March, there is another goblet video this Sunday.

[@cgapeart]

@@Vsmithpots I was using plainsman m-340s, a mid-fire speckled stoneware, no grog. I can see how grog would make a difference there. I appreciate the feedback - gave me another variable I haven't experimented with much to think about.

[@Daffer303]

Love your videos, and love how you mix in a little of whereyou live.

[@Vsmithpots]

Thank you, I hope you are making nice pots too.

[@scottperkins7375]

Very nice goblets, thank you for the video, I can't wait to see the finished product. I tried to throw a few today and using 1/4 to 1/2 lbs of clay mine are significantly smaller than yours appear to be and I threw them very thin. The lumps of clay in the video appear to be closer to 2/3 ib or more. Are you sure about the weight?

[@Vsmithpots]

Yes I am sure but I will do a test in my next video on bowls. I can show you the gram scale, I did that with the mug challenge. The video will air early March.

[@scottperkins7375]

Vaughan, thank you for the response. I was afraid you’d say that. Back to the studio for me to figure this out. I look forward to your next video. Stay warm my friend.

[@Vsmithpots]

@@scottperkins7375 The type of clay makes a huge difference, B mix 5 is amazing for thin pieces.

Have you fired the solid stem goblets to cone 10? Wondering if you've had issues with warping or slumping of the solid stem at higher temps. Thanks!

No I do cone 6.

[@allenfitz1]

Thank again for a great video.can you give the bottom thickness in inches as well. It's fun to watch as you go between american measurements and the rest of the world measurements. Here in mi were expecting -6c the low last night was -22c. I like Fahrenheit better low 11f high 22f does not seam so bad Thanks again

[@Vsmithpots]

- 22C is -10F, that is bitter cold. It gets that low here inland but on the shore we stay warmer unless the ocean freezes.
