Armatures - Tiki Technical Tuesday 30

- Опубликовано: 25 май 2020
- For today’s Tiki Technical Tuesday we take a deep dive into building the skeletons that help clay sculptures keep their shape: armatures!
Watch us put together an armature for the newest VanTiki studio mug using a combination of digital design, laser cutting, 3D printing, and lots of glue. A big thank you to @biggsstudio for the 3D printing help!
Please subscribe - it means the world to me! Mahalo for watching, as always, put your questions in the comments and I’ll drop my best to answer.
I love that Pier Post Bob is watching over you.
😂 - that is my gallery of factory seconds and glaze tests
Love the new format!
Thank you! We will be sticking with widescreen from here on out
Excellent travail ,~~~~
I'd like one of those jack-o-lantern mugs.
That is my Coco-Skull mug! Sadly the edition ended years back.
I'm getting ready to make my first slip casting molds for my second ever production run, watching the Technical Tuesday videos to mentally/technically prepare. I've made many plaster molds and casts in the past for non ceramics, but watching this video of the Volcanic Vapor mug being made gave me a little aha moment.
That being your process is very very polished, but also very expensive (relatively speaking) . As a perfectionist, I strive for that hyper "polished" finish as I'm thinking about the mother mold, the countless molds made from that, and any production pieces that result, and I just can't stop refining my first models. I think the time I've spent is fine (two days), but I see myself spending another 2 on smoothing which I rather be pouring plaster. Long story short, returning to the videos again to see what you used for smoothing the monster clay after 1 hour and a half of research at to wether my clay and monster clay are chemically similar :D yay production lol
p.s. when speaking about the pieces being "polished", as I keep returning to the modeling of different mugs I just wonder how they look so perfect, like objects that feel as if they existed independent of the maker, idk if that makes sense, but a large part of that comes from just how technical the construction of the model is, which takes a LOT of tools and resources most small and emerging production artists don't have.But I'm trying to figure out the cheat code :)
Thank you so much for watching!
I definitely strive for polished sculptures and clean molds in the studio, as I think doing both makes production easier in the long run. To get a sculpture looking polished (either a smooth surface or a natural texture) I don’t think it’s a matter of expensive tools, but more a matter of time. All the sculptors I admired working in the film industry spent 25% of the time sculpting the main forms, then 75% of the time detailing and surfacing. Unfortunately that is the bit that rarely gets shown on social media 😄
For molds, I agree that silicone is expensive, but when you calculate the cost vs the return (multiple castings, a safe backup of your master mold) silicone is a great investment. Urethane is a lower cost alternative, but it has its own tricky issues that can be catastrophic when molding (moisture inhibition, not releasing from the model, etc). Back in college I made my silicone molds with silicone caulk from Home Depot 😁
Next level amazingness!
thank you!
Can’t wait to see the final sculpture!!
Fab Crafts and More me too!
Well now I have laser cutter envy! Looking forward to the next steps!
It is an amazing tool, I must admit!
Excellent work as always! Love the information and presentation that you bring to every video. Keep up the good work! Cannot wait till you post a technical on making multi part molds, I still can't figure out how you get them sooo smooth. School us!
Thank you! The secret to smooth molds is lots of planning, and lots of scraping and sanding 😄
Awesome! Can’t wait to see the sculpt!
Thank you! I can’t wait to get started on it!
This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see how it works...👍
Thanks man! I hope my plan works 🤞
Can't wait to see it all together so cool!!! super excited to see how it comes out :)
Thank you!
cant wait to see the final sculpt! Armature came out great!
Couldn’t have done it without your help! (Well, I could have - but it would have taken waaaaaaay longer and wouldn’t have been as squeaky clean & crisp!)
Can't wait to see where you go with the sculpt! Already love it :)
I can t wait to start it!
Love it! As a huge aficionado of both tiki and vintage psychedelia this mug is definitely going to be a must have 😍
You mean you have guessed what it will be?! 😂
Great video, always enjoy seeing other artists' processes! That hornbill at the beginning 😍😍😍
Thank you! That’s my Jungle Bird mug - one of my favorites!
@@vantikistudio I own it in Cinnabar, it was my holy grail mug 😬 fingers crossed I'll get my hands on a Sunset colorway someday
I love this video! Thank you! So cool to watch and learn.
Jeff Musial thank you for watching!
😍 I can’t wait to see the progress next week
I can’t wait to start sculpting!
Great vid as always, I much prefer watching these on RUclips in landscape! Can't wait to see the sculpt
Same!!
SaintIsz looks like landscape is the way to go - but I have to keep the studio clean! I hate how you can see the full garbage can in some shots 😂
I love the engineering detail combined with artistic vision. Kudos my friend... I'd like to order mine now. "Whatever it might be"
Thank you! I do enjoy dreaming up new ways to put the mugs together 😃
As always I look forward to TTT with you. Thanks for showing us all the hard work that goes into your tiki mugs and for sharing your knowledge. This is blake_n_stuff from IG 🤙🏼
Thank you so much - mahalo for watching!
Will there be a possible decanter version?
Ooooo! Good idea! I think we may have to make that happen.
