Flickering definitely!! Looks great
Thank you!! Flicker was the winner!
How do you keep track of slip gravity if you're leaving the whole thing uncovered? Do you weigh it before casting or just wing it based on experience?
Do you mean my slip tank/table? I cover it with plastic when not using it. Some water drips in when I sponge off the top rails when cleaning after casting every day - and that helps to make up for any moisture lost to evaporation. I will adjust for specific gravity and flow every few weeks if the castings are behaving oddly.
@@vantikistudio Thanks so it's mostly experience.
Is it good profit
Not really sure how to answer - I can’t guarantee profit 😅
15 to 20? Bruh are you making mugs for aliens? I'm gonna assume you're a perfectionist 😁😁
Ha - well, as the surface degrades it takes longer to clean up the castings. At a certain point it’s faster to cast a new clean mold than smooth the surface of castings from a rough mold.
@@vantikistudio And here I am assuming I can get at least 100 castings from my molds. I'm a newbie, surely it's obvious. Thanks for the information.
How do we pigment our slip?
I haven’t tried making my own. I’ve heard tales of folks using velvet underglaze or mason stains, but I just buy pre-tinted slip from folks who know more than me 😄
Measure twice, cut once
Love your Ceramic Hobbiest sign (Honolulu), they’re good people.
Wouldn’t be the ceramicist I am today without them!
What's the foam board thickness you are using?
I think it’s 3/16” - just shy of a quarter inch.
underwhelming
🙄
I watch your videos at home in my spare time, and sometimes on my lunch breaks at work and, when I was commuting, on the train too. I love your videos
Thank you! Happy to help pass commute time!
Thia was fascinating! Well done and awesome communication skills.
Thank you so much!
Was lucky to attend a Don Tiki concert in Lawrence, Kansas back in 2008 or 2009. Amazing!
They are so great - I was introduced to tiki mugs at a Don Tiki concert!
@@vantikistudio Awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to teach this process! It's been 20+ years since I made a mould in college for just one assignment. Elementary art teacher and home Potter hobbyist here. I like to work on wheel thrown objects and handbuilding. I'm interested in sculpting a small figurine of my favorite soccer captain. (Acosta, Go FC Cincinnati!) Anyway... I want to bisque fire the master and use a simple glaze on it before casting it's mould. Any tips for finding the center line? He'll be standing in a pose similar to the example you use. I'll have to make sure it's perfectly level and even. I wonder if I could lay the master in a container and pour sand around it to help mark the midline?? Am I overthinking?? Lol Tips for finding the center all the way around would be awesome! Thanks! I wonder if I could lay the bisqueware in a dish then pour a stain up to the midline?? Then it's marked with one color on one side evenly?
Those all sound like interesting ways to find the edges! I’ve seen artists set a piece down on a flat table, then move a right angle around the piece, marking where it makes contact with a small dot as they make their way around the entire model. I hope that makes sense 😃
An entire shelf full of the same figure for personal use.. Uh huh..
Not sure what you’re trying to say here. I do indeed use the entire rack of glaze testers almost daily.
I’m not sure if you go back and read comments but I love watching. I think it’s boring to you because you are used to this. It’s fascinating to me and I’d watch hours and hours even in regular speed.
Thank you! Other folks have shared the same feedback - I promise in the future to not edit out the sculpting bits that I worry are boring 😄
I love to watch these. Makes me happy !!!
Thank you!
I'll take 8 please...lol
😄
So cool for a quick overview! Cant beat the technical Tuesdays, but still a fun vid
Thank you!
Classic plaster mould making technique, ypu make it look easy.
It may look easy - but I have anxiety every time 😄
Maybe these types of signs are common in Tiki Bars, but I have never seen anything like this before. You have a true talent for producing original designs. This one is beautiful and very creative. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! These are definitely a fun challenge to plan out and build.
I'm getting ready to move into a mold making position for a jewlery company and while the product is different the work is basically the same. Thank you for this video. It's very knowledgeable.
I’m so glad you found the video! Best of luck in your new position!
Although this is great timelase i really enjoy the long form videos where we all take the journey together lol.
I love long form too! These shorts will always follow in the wake of the long form videos.
Love the look of the underglaze dip! Is that a commercial product or do you make it?
The dip is great! It’s a VERY thinned out black underglaze. I talk a bit more about it here: ruclips.net/video/ql6hdeIC-ik/видео.htmlsi=Cq_Gdy-hGwHkTKqP
Thank you for sharing the process! Super interesting and helpful!
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Gasp! Will we get a Tiki Technical Tuesday on how you made this mold? Very impressive!
This one was indeed a crazy mold! Sadly I was too stressed about making a mistake to film the process 😅
@@vantikistudio, 😂 I get that
Im curious toeasure the master and the final and work out with the maths it it is 12%
I’m curious as well! I’ll have to get out the calipers and get some precise measurements to compare
I am commuting while watching today. Love these!
Happy to be your commute entertainment!
That is a very cool mold. Well done sir!!! I admire your skills!!!
Thank you! It was a tricky one!
I’m still confused about what part of the process gets it hollow
Check this video out - it explains the hollow part: ruclips.net/video/2tU6sBD9r_I/видео.htmlsi=MRAkumgun-6j6B4s
I'm starting a pottery biz and your videos have been extremely helpful is making production casting, years of learning in a few hours. thank you.
Thank you so much!
I just binged all your Game Relics videos and I'm so digging this project. I hope the final (maybe) episode is still in the works because i love your enthusiasm for this blast from my past.
Thank you! I still need to do the final episode - someday!
Hey, nice try, but shorts don't count for TTT. heh
Agreed! I promise to keep up with proper TTT. In fact, I have to shoot my long promised electric kiln episode when we return from Tiki Oasis. The elements just died in one of the kilns - time to film the process of replacing them!
I’m a resident physician and I watch either on my commute to work (I take the train), or if I can wait until I get home, on my couch! Watching these videos is very pleasant after a rough day at work.
It makes me so happy that these videos help you unwind - thanks for watching!
I’m watching in my studio
I love the black porcelain results!❤❤❤❤
Me too!
I love that you're posting older content in shorts! You are so expressive in your non-verbal asmr! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! A ceramic friend of mine said I was crazy to not put the short videos up.
What is that surface on your table?
The white table top in the studio? I learned about it watching a VERY old video on Adam Savages Tested channel. He was getting replica spacesuits made and the artist covered his tabletops with the stuff (this was like, maybe 7 or 8 years ago). It is like a 1/4” polypropylene cutting board. You can get it up to a 4x8 foot sheet. Very easy to clean, and you can cut on it with no issues. My table is starting to show wear, and I think I may flip it soon to the untouched side to get another 7 years of use out of it.
@@vantikistudio of course, yes! Thanks!. Great channel. I binged on you Fireball island and I’m also going to make one with the twists my friends and I came up with - such as using tikis along the paths that have random powers if you land on a space next to them. Etc.. thanks for the inspiration!
@@paulkaiser8834 please send me a shot of your board when it takes shape!
Somebody is playing with "shorts" to see the payoff.
Somebody is just sharing their work as many ways as they can
That’s pretty darn cool!!!
Thank you!
I really love your molds, one day I'm going to have a bash at slip casting! Your mugs are awesome and beautiful too!!
Thank you so much! This mold was a doozy!
I noticed that you rapped the foam core mould to get the plaster to level. I remember that in concrete pouring, a vibrator is often used to ensure that the concrete flows properly around the rebar, around any corners and generally avoid any voids. Would an ultrasonic toothbrush vibrated against the side of the mould walls help with removing any potential bubbles from the plaster? That would also work with casting silicone around a plaster mould.
I have a vibrating tabletop in the studio that really helps when pouring plaster for mold making
@@vantikistudio that would certainly do the trick :-)
Ah, @RobertTovolone also uses chunks of cured silicone to lessen the quantity of freshly mixed silicone when creating a mold. :-D
it is a win win - you get to recycle old molds and keep them out of the landfill, and you get to save $$ on new molds!
Thixotropic also describes many alluvial soils. For example, Mexico City is built upon a dried lake bed. These sediments are VERY thixotropic. This is why when there was a major earthquake there in the early 2010's, many building fell as the soil just liquefied. Note that Seattle, WA, and Vancouver, BC (especially the neighbouring city of Richmond) are also on thixotropic alluvial soils.
Amazing! (And a bit frightening!)
It would be great as a small planter for a leafy fern. A fern could have similar features as seaweed or sea anemone. Well, I don't know about sea anemone. It would be cool to have such a plant though because small sea anemones can latch onto hermit crab shells (travel the ocean floor and eat lots of goodies floating by!)
My parents have converted many of my mugs into planters with great results 😄
Very cool design!
Thank you!
Also, how deep does the hollow go? I am thinking about how easy or hard it would be to reach in to scrub the inside properly....
You can get in there fairly easily with a bottle brush - it’s not as tight as you’d think
I assume that this is only one part of the mug as, by itself, it would not stand up properly without spilling any contents. Drinking horns would have some kind of hardware attached so they would stand up without spilling.
I’m call them Trick Mugs - the trick is you need to finish your drink to put them down! 😄
@@vantikistudiohahaha😂😂😂
Lucky Duck!!! I’m obsessed with original Disneyland and you did such an amazing job!❤❤❤
Thank you! It was a dream project!
Flicker bulb for sure! Looks so amazing!!!
Flicker bulb was the winner! I’m about to head to San Diego to see the lamp show - I can’t wait!
Where do I watch Tiki Technical Tuesday from? I'm usually in my bed room, sitting at my desk learning about ceramics and thinking about tiki mugs I want to make in the future.
If you leave a straw in the pour hole, while the walls are forming, it prevents blockage….you could probably make a jig to hold it in place. I never had a straw with a hose on it…just the tiny straw, and vaguely remember getting spattered with slip, while extracting the liquid!
That’s brilliant!
