A church has asked me, a relatively new potter, to make communion challis's for them. Always excited to make new things, I said "ok"...then wondered how to do it...then I found Utube! Thank you so much for the lesson. Wonderful. Clay to the elbows, outstanding inspirational music, gave me goosebumps. We are so blessed to do what we have a passion for. Well, I also need to get some clay up to my elbows. Thanks again for the spiritual lift and hints on how to start to make the challis's.

Thanks for posting this! I was able to make my first goblet from watching your video :) Obviously yours is much more symetrical, but I sure enjoyed making it this way!

I've been trying to make a one piece goblet for ages. I watched this and voila, easy as pie. I did trim the base to be hollow after it dried. The solid stem was way to heavy.

Mine was a little smaller than I want, but with practice I think I can make it bigger. Now If I can just make 2 that match.

All in all much easier than throwing 2 pieces and attaching them.

Thanks cka potter

i'm a potter and I wanted to flag it as one I found helpful.

So I could watch it again. I didn't realize flagging it meant I thought it was innappropriate.

Thank you for posting this. I went to my wheel and tried it. It's actually easier than making it in 2 pieces. And I love the music!

[xunknownshadowx]

amazing!

[mudpuppy61]

That looks very nice - do you ever have a problem with firing the thick solid base?

[chrishawkinsraku]

no as i finish the base by trimming a finished shape and a hollow section

[acidsui420]

I trimmed the base to be hollow after it dried.

Dry it slowly under plastic on an absorbant surface (I used a scrap of sheet rock) trim when base is very firm. A giffin grip is handy if you have one, or use a chuck. cka potter

awesome~ I always thought goblets had to be two piece! Can't wait to try this.

[disisdkat]

I've never seen a single piece goblet before. Excellent idea. I assume they are more stable that way as well.

[judyyama]

Very Cool! and love the music as well...

no more two piece goblets Yeah!

[womandy]

Thank you for that excellent demonstration!
