Wow. That makes me want to give up. LOL.... I'll never give up....but I can only hope I'll ever be half as talented as you are. Thanks for letting me learn from you, going to have a go at throwing one of those at art school on Weds!

Wahey !! Finally an English person has commented..not that I'm fed up with all you Americans...LOL.
Don't give up !! just keep on practicing and It'll just suddenly "Click" and off you go.
I spent 3 years not being able to make anything better than egg cups and ash trays,honest.!
Candlesticks are pretty tricky,not hard to shape but just impossible to stop flying off all over the shop.

You are good, very good. Maybe this technique could be adapted to make goblet stems. By the way, you can take the word "trying" off the title. Dan, you are way past trying. Thanks, Claire

Yes,that's how we make our goblet stems.
I have a video somewhere on here making one.

Very cool!!! Do you try to trim the bottom or hollow it out some? Are the bases real thick? I tried the goblet example you did and it turned out really good for a first time. Thanks for your help!

I turn/trim the whole thing the next day to get a sharper profile.
I dont hollow it out though as It fires perfectly well.
It's about the limit of thickness though without it exploding in the kiln.
That seems to be the trouble people have,not waiting at least a week for it to really dry out before firing.
I just make sure it's 100% dry before firing, as any moisture in a thickish piece like the stem will tend to explode in the kiln.
