Wine & Wheel – Ceramic Wine Goblet Workshop with Mark Lester

In this hybrid handbuilding and wheel throwing class, you will build your own goblet by hand. We will begin with constructing basic cup forms, which can be as simple or sculptural as you desire. While you’re working on your cup, the instructor will throw custom goblet handles for each piece, shaping the handle according to the design of your cup and your own preferences. After each cup is complete, we will attach the two parts to form a complete goblet. Finally, participants will choose a glaze to go with their goblet, which will be applied to their piece for firing. Work will be ready for pick up within four weeks after class.

In this workshop you’ll have the option to create one goblet for $60, or a matching pair for $100.

This is one-day workshop.

Instructor: Mark Lester

Instructor Bio:

Mark is a native of Northeast Florida, and graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of North Florida. Finding value in the quiet spaces within nature from an early age, he created art of various sorts with differing media before settling on ceramics as a base medium for making. Since then he has experimented with glass, metal, and wood, frequently incorporating these materials into the work to add visual breath and suggest an interplay between differing contexts. The work itself draws influence from the quiet spaces that are created when activity ceases, often inspired by abandoned architecture and the interstices of natural formations. Mark currently lives in Atlantic Beach, and works and teaches around Florida and the East Coast.
