It's time to sculpt a new mug! Join me as I build an armature, design a template/jig to aid in the layout of the sculpture, and push clay into the final desired shape! I'll be talking about my favorite sculpting tools, as well as going into the nitty gritty of detailing and texturing techniques.

The algorithm gifted me with your video recommendation.

@OsirisFour 11 месяцев назад

Man, I've been binging your videos for 3 hours now, initially to get pointers on silicon mold making. I have to say that to me you're like the Alton Brown of ceramics.

As a wheel thrower it’s interesting to see your way of sculpting this. Thanks for expanding the options.

@vantikistudio Год назад

Respect for wheel throwing! I really struggle with it!

@spikedeane9112 Год назад

I can't wait to see it in the black porcelain -exciting.

@vantikistudio Год назад

Me too!! The first production mold is drying as I type - hopefully it will be dry enough for casts next week 🤞

@micheledickey4066 3 месяца назад

Have you ever done a studio tour?? I would sooo love to see how you organize everything.

@vantikistudio 3 месяца назад

I did do a tour episode about 3 years back - not too much has changed, but maybe I should do an update ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A6TQQHDTk1Y.htmlsi=GXd9qcpjkViGCTge

@megankenway8757 Год назад

I love your videos so, so much. I LOVED ceramics when I was in school, but I haven’t been able to afford my own tools yet, and your videos have helped me live vicariously until my career reaches the point where I can have Clay Adventures, too. I probably don’t speak for everyone, but I love watching your entire process. Yes, even the parts you sometimes worry we’ve “been watching for a long time”. I wish every mug had multiple videos (Idea/Sculpting, Plaster/Silicone Molding, and Casting/Glazing maybe?). It’s so clear in your videos that each mug’s unique shape presents design challenges, and I would just love hearing your thought process and how you tackle those unique hurdles each mug presents. I can see how it might seem repetitive to you, but I can see that you do things a little differently for each mug, so it doesn’t feel repetitive to me 💖

@vantikistudio Год назад

Thank you so much! I feel bad reading this now, as I've just wrapped up a mug sculpture that took me weeks - but I barely filmed it as I was worried that folks would get bored!

@megankenway8757 Год назад

@@vantikistudio oh gosh, don’t feel bad! Just take this as my vote :-) I love hearing why the process is the same or different for each one, but I don’t know if everyone does.

@teetotaltiki1259 Год назад

2 armature "bases"....pure genius for working on a piece that doesn't have a flat bottom surface. Never would have thought of that! Thanks for sharing!...and as always, keep the TTTs coming!!

@vantikistudio Год назад

Thank you! It only took me three previous pounder mug designs to figure out the armature 😂

@fencingkitty9166 Год назад

I'm a simple creature. I see new Tiki Technical Tuesday, I click and Like~y. I haven't made my own molds yet due to space, but someday /shakes fist at the heavens

Thank you for the clicks and likes! Someday I’m sure you will craft a mold

@chrisbarretto5898 Год назад

Love how this one is going to be an open edition! I’ve always been fascinated with the earlier poi pounder mugs but have always been unavailable or at price points out of my budget. After getting my hands on a lil ammy, now I can’t wait to own a second vantiki! Keep up the great work, high quality, and entertaining/instructional videos. You’re definitely at the top when it comes to charismatic tiki mugs producers with quality, design and innovation ❤

@vantikistudio Год назад

Thank you! I hope you can get your hands on a porcelain pounder. It will be an open edition, but we will be releasing in small batches. We’re thinking of monthly releases if all goes well

@TheKoyotetracker Год назад

screwing the form onto the second armature looked just like screwing on a lightbulb 😄 every part of your design process is absolutely ingenious! thank you so much for this video 😊

@vantikistudio Год назад

I was SO worried about dropping the sculpture every time I unscrewed it - just like a lightbulb 😄

@warnermcgee8856 Год назад

Great job! I especially like your texturing process to ensure that the pitting doesn’t go “out” but in as it would in nature. The texture is a cool looking VanTiki-stylized realism. Thx for taking the time in making your videos. Production value is always super high. I’m looking forward to seeing the mold making and castings!

@vantikistudio Год назад

Thank you! I’m afraid I didn’t shoot the moldmaking on this one - it is a tricky from and I did t have a lot of time, so I didn’t want to add the stress and hassle of filming. I will show the casts though!

@animalcraker Год назад

So excited for the open edition. BTW I have to let you know that since I’ve found your channel you are the most requested “show” by my 5yr old. You’ve beat out all Pixar movies, Bluey, and Mickey Mouse whenever he’s earned free time to watch TV.

Your videos have been so very helpful and interesting in terms of growing my own process (I create 3d models in a CAD program, then 3D print the design, then make a mold of the 3D print and use it to cast forms). I was wondering if you could link to that black porcelain slip you found for this project. It looks gorgeous and I immediately had some ideas for it.

@vantikistudio Год назад

Someday I hope to try your process with 3D printing! I’ll link to the porcelain in a future episode after I do some more testing

@danielgenovese2871 Год назад

How do you determine the sculpture size to ensure you have enough room for a drink? Is that something you find out later or can put that into the design?

@vantikistudio Год назад

Good question! For this mug, I wanted it to have a size similar to a mai tai glass (aka a double old fashioned) - so I planned my model to match that size (scaling up a bit for the %12 shrinkage of the clay I plan on using)

@Heartwing37 Месяц назад

Are these mugs microwave and dishwasher safe? Or are they super delicate? Thank you!

@vantikistudio Месяц назад

I don’t know about the microwave - but they technically should be fine in a dishwasher. They are glazed porcelain - I hand wash the mugs in my collection from other artists because a dishwasher can be a fairly harsh environment.
