Glazing a long forgotten Pier Post Bob mug - Tiki Technical Tuesday
Вставка

- Join me as I puzzle out how to best complete the glazing process of a mug that I mysteriously abandoned 5 years ago! What is the color of the glaze I put on the interior in 2017? Who knows! Why did I bisque fire it, then forget about it? I can’t remember! One thing I DO know is, Pier Post Bob is one of my favorite mug designs and I don’t want to mess it up!
Dialing in the glaze process for a mug is always an adventure - hopefully you enjoy the multi step process as much as I do. There will be masking (both tape AND latex), underglazes, sprayed ceramic glaze, and possibly a second glaze firing!

As a Sailor, and stuck doing the 'hurry up and wait' thing. I have stared at a LOT of pier posts, ferry bollards, just random wood bobbing in the water... Pier Post Bob looks GREAT! If you ever go down this path again? Sponge on some dabs of dark green and yellow. Every time I've seen a post mossy with algae and seaweed, its light green (new, young), dark green (adulthood), yellow (dying and sun bleaching) and even grey (dead sun burnt). I have no idea what the species are but a few have what can only be called 'a bloom'.
I'm going to be 20 minutes late to work because this dropped right as I was leaving the house, and no way I'm not watching this right now!
So glad you didn't give up after the first attempt didn't turn out as you had hoped. The final product was beautiful! Excited to see the lamp episode and yes, please do a breakdown of how you do your photo set up!
I teach at a science center, and we did a unit on the science of ceramics. The campers loved slip casting! Thank you so much for such great, in depth videos.
What an awesome TikiTechnicalTuesday! I’m so glad you went back with the green again it looks awesome!
One of my favorite episodes! Underglaze on top of glaze!...I have had it flake off if applied just a little too heavy! I am doing that Kiln dance today and currently at 463 degrees. Love the result of this mug! Pier Post Bob is by far my favorite of your VanTiki mugs!!!
I found your channel after the last Viva Las Vegas. I'm a Rockabilly guy who is learning about Tiki. I've been watching a lot of DIY Tiki videos because I find making things myself a lot more satisfying than a trip to the store. Your masterclasses have been extremely interesting. Way above my skill level but a fun watch.
I can’t believe I didn’t notice this on Tuesday! Always a joy to watch
I enjoy hearing about your creative process. And of course, the green at the bottom was the right choice. Looking forward to more TTT content!
I would love to know more about your photobooth set up, the lighting is fab! So happy that you added the green at the end for the second firing, that ombre effect is stunning and really suits Pier Post Bob! I loved the original, but this one takes my heart.
Team Algae Bob FOREVER! A great look into the rollercoaster of creative expectations. Thanks for sharing!
All of the above please! I love it all!
That turned out so awesome! And I’d LOVE to see a video on your setup
Another great video. Bob came out beautifully. We would like to see your photo setup.
I would love to see your photo process
Great glaze adventure!! Also, any photo tips would be greatly appreciated.
Great mug. Have it
I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I absolutely love and appreciate your videos, every single one of them has me completely engrossed. I always keep a season of Great British Bake Off unwatched incase I hit a period of unshakable depression and I'm thinking I should do the same with your videos except for periods of missing inspiration.
Please do a video on your photo set up!
With latex, if you don't want to ruin your brushes; wet them and put dishwashing liquid on it before the latex.
