Goblets: Make or Break Moments - with Zach Layhew
Description
Goblet: A type of drinking vessel that features a bowl, a stem, and a flat base or foot, typically made of glass or metal without any handles.
This four-week class explores the art of making goblets through a simple, repeatable, and refined approach. We'll begin by reviewing basic forms and learning how to scale them down to goblet size before breaking the vessel into its essential components and manageable steps: the cup, stem, foot, and punty.
Once comfortable and consistent, we'll focus on the assembly process, exploring different approaches to building and joining the pieces. Through repetition and experimentation, you will develop more efficient tools, techniques, and communication methods for creating clean, well-balanced goblets.
Designed for glass artists looking to refine their process, this class emphasizes precision, repetition, and thoughtful experimentation while building confidence in a complex multi-part form.
Students are highly encouraged to bring a notebook/sketchbook and/or a phone to record demonstrations to have to refer to during the assembly process. Students are also encouraged to bring sketches, ideas, images, and reference material to gain inspiration.
Prerequisite: Hot Glass 3 or equivalent 72 hours experience with instructor permission required
