April 11 @ 9:00 am - April 13 @ 5:00 pm

A goblet is a classic turning project that creates an elegant object to use or display. It is also a wonderful project for learning a variety of turning techniques, including how to hollow a vessel, create thin walls, shape curves, and more.

In this three-day workshop, master turner Matt Monaco will guide you through the design and creation of fine goblets, with an emphasis on elegant form, delicate shaping, and developing fine tool control on end grain.

Matt will introduce you to the nuances of effective cutting, which he has developed through years working as a professional turner and maker. You will practice efficiency, tool control, correct body mechanics, and the proper use of basic turning tools to produce exceptional results.


You will learn:

  • Proper body mechanics for successful turning
  • Proper use and application of lathe and turning tools
  • How to sharpen your tools for better results
  • How grain orientation and tool selection affect your results
  • Turning with the chuck
  • Shaping and refining a goblet
