Two Easy Ways to Make a Goblet, Chalice, or Wine Cup Form on the Potter's Wheel

This video is a demonstration of Two Easy Ways to Make a Goblet, Chalice, or Stemmed Wine Cup Form on the Wheel. This method of throwing requires a basic mastery of wheel throwing to execute these techniques. If you need any help understanding the basics, check out my Introduction to Wheel Throwing Playlist here:

The two ways I demonstrate to make the forms is by throwing both cup forms and allowing them to get leatherhard, and for one technique, I throw a stem as well. After the forms are leatherhard, I attached one stem to one cup form, and then trimmed away any excess clay. For the second cup, I attached a ball of clay on the upside-down cup, (with it secured to my giffen grip) and throw the stem on the base of the other cup.

In this video, I am using standard 153, a nice midrange firing stoneware in my classroom.

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...

I started my Youtube channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
