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 ❤

That is such a great idea and can’t wait to try it

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 💖

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.

How cool are those

For all the people willing to pay over $1K for his mugs I’m always amazed at how few watch his videos.

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

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

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

Жыл бұрын

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)

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

@vantikistudio

2 ай бұрын

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.

Hello, sir, how could I have the cooporation opportunities with you?

and the mugs are sold out already lol
