Goblets

Bronze Goblets by Linda Starr
4 x 2.5 inches

Sometimes I am hopeful and then happily surprised at my glazing results. These goblets turned out just like I wanted them. I made a set of four of these. The are pinched from Texas white clay, fired in oxidation cone 6. Now I want to make taller ones with even more wavy stems.

These green and black metallic goblets also fired as I hoped.

I hope you can overlook the background. I had to use a summer blouse for a backdrop since we are in our RV.

Stay tuned for more results from this firing. I'm working on the wire handle for the basket, trying to figure out what to do with the ends of the wire I plan to slide through the holes in the basket. Please come back if you know anything about bending or using wire handles. I can use all the help I can get. I'm also expecting to pick up the cone 4 pieces being fired this week.
