I have COVID and it's been hard to rest, but this video is so peaceful and relaxing I actually closed my eyes and rested for a minute. I'll try making the goblets when I feel better. Thanks!
@@Vsmithpots I supposedly had two different Omnicron variants two months apart that are said to be mild in symptoms. I do not find the symptoms to be mild. It's awful. I can't imagine what you went through and I'm glad you made it.
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" 👏👏👏👏👏!!!
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!
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.
Those are so beautiful. I was holding my breath and was so nervous because of the narrow stems. You make it look so easy. You sure did get hit hard with that Nor Easter. What extreme weather. I do love to see the ocean, even in the storm. Glad you kept your power.
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
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 Děkují,ale takový velký talent nemám...k Vám se ani nepřiblížím, bohužel... ale moc ráda se na Vaše díla těším i dívám...hodně hezkých jarních dnů přeji 🌻🌺⚘🌷🥀🌹💐
@@Vsmithpots tak to se máte, my na sníh marně čekáme 😉dnes máme v kalendáři svatého Valentýna a to se váže pranostika..na Svatého Valentýna zamrzne i kolo mlýna...takže, do jara daleko...máme chladno, ale zima to není...mějte se moc a moc krásně 👋👋👋👋
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!
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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.
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
Your goblets are lovely. I thank you for this video. I enjoy making goblets. I also enjoy learning new ways to create them.
Thank you. Check out the follow up goblet lesson.
Yes we can hear the wind. Thank you for your generous sharing your expertise. I love your videos!
Thanks and stay safe.
Another great video and I love Don Sedgwick’s music…….so evocative of place.
I will let Don Know. It has been tough for musicians the last two years.
Stay warm !!! Thanks for the video
Firing kilns is a big help. Thanks
Love your videos, and love how you mix in a little of whereyou live.
Thank you, I hope you are making nice pots too.
Such expertise I always learn when I watch your videos
I have COVID and it's been hard to rest, but this video is so peaceful and relaxing I actually closed my eyes and rested for a minute. I'll try making the goblets when I feel better. Thanks!
Good luck recovering. I had it right at the beginning and it took a couple of months to get better.

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" 👏👏👏👏👏!!!
Thanks Connie. The next video on alternative goblets shows them finished.
It makes me miss Northern Michigan along the shore of Lake Michigan in the Winter! A snow storm was always my favorite to curl up and stay warm!
That is why I am buying a wood stove for next winter. Stay safe.
@@Vsmithpots Yes. We had a big one.... It's the best.
I love your work. Thank you for sharing. I keep telling my husband that I want to come to Nova Scotia just to find your shop and meet you!
I guess I better put the kettle on. Stay safe and lets hope travelling is possible this summer.
@@Vsmithpots well I guess we will definitely have to come then!
I would love to go there also. Their studio looks amazing.
Wonderful goblets. Thank you for sharing
Amazing work. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing. I cant stand the cold.
The older you get the less the cold has appeal.
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!
It should arrive this week. Thanks
This was really helpful! I especially like the neat little trick with the pen!
Glad to be of assistance. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, the next video has some surprises for me too, I think I found a new goblet for me.
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.
Love them Vaughan! Very elegant!
Thanks

I think I now like my new form better. Watch the follow up video on goblets.
fantastic !! 😍
Thanks
Wow absolutely beautiful, creative and fascinating to watch your video.
Thanks, the follow up is coming tomorrow night.
Thank you for your amazing videos I was looking how to make a wine glass since I'm a beginner. but you make it seem so easy
Thanks and happy potting.

Thanks Mel. We were 13C yesterday and snow tonight with -8C for the high tomorrow. Wild fluctuation this winter. Definitely not bike riding weather.
@@Vsmithpots 🥶 mind you I have to ride her for an MOT and service at the beginning of March !

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

Thanks.
So cool love how you teach. Did you forget my drying process?🙏. Thank you
What process is that?
I can't wait to try this!
Thanks, let me know how you do.
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?
I let them air dry in a damp cupboard. It slows down the drying and stops drafts.

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.
Always make extra, someone will buy it. Thanks.
I love your goblets. Vaughn, is there anyway I can buy don Sedgwick's music, it's so lovely?
Here is his email. wordbyword@eastlink.ca
Thanks!
You are welcome.
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.
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.

- 22C is -10F, that is bitter cold. It gets that low here inland but on the shore we stay warmer unless the ocean freezes.
How did you make the leg of the wine goblet
I show it during the video.
