So many beautiful and creative things. I enjoy pottery and art glass, but will likely never make anything in clay but I really enjoy seeing your students' and work. Personally, I prefer your hand-drawn flowers on those rainbow mugs -- they stand out better than on the stenciled ones -- they seem to have more life to them. I loved the spider web/spider plate and bits -- such a dramatic look. The black on the cream is visually arresting. Also, your students are so clever and enterprising. Loved it all. Thank you for sharing :)
Nice student stuff, congrats to you and them. The slip trail, paint and other technique really give them the spicy zip to carry them through. Appreciate the slid show.
So many beautiful and fun items! Always amazed how skillfully you arrange the items to fit! Almost like a Tetris puzzle. :o) Thanks for sharing; stay cool. Cheers!
The footprints on the bottoms of those dyno-mugs! 😍 You and your students have such great imaginations. Very inspiring! I had some sliptrailing that was trying to detach. I sprayed it with water, and pushed it back down. It's drying under plastic, so we'll see. At the worst, it can get scraped off, right? There are so many cute things in this load, it hard to pick a favorite! I enjoyed every minute of watching! You didn't say how your husband was doing. I hope he's fully recovered, or close to it!
Love your hand painted flowers 🌸 over the transfer. Your spider plate turned out fantastic. Love the purple on the mugs 😍. Love the tea set you did for your daughter 😍. Could you do a video on how to make tea strainer? 🙏🏻. It’s winter here in Queensland, Australia. Where I am temps 5-25 degrees Celsius. Looking forward to your next kiln opening 😘
New tip I learned - use cookies to raise the height a tad 👍🏼 Nice results with your colored slip. I am just going to venture into that but have been hesitant - motivation to get started - I'll check your play list to see if you did a video on it - always nice to see someone actually doing it. Hope you get some relief from the heat ❤
Hi. Another fantastic kiln opening. Everything turned out so well. I love the tea strainer/mug/saucer combos. Actually, there's nothing in there that I didn't like. ❤
I can agree with you, our summers are 40 Celsius plus and it is hot, luckily our club studio has AC, plus a pool. In my previous home studio, I would glaze for a while get hot jump into the pool, fully clothed. Then get out and continue glazing, at 5pm my husband would come home, bring me a Whisky and cook dinner. Then we would load the kiln. It was a 37cbft gas kiln and would take a lot of pots. There would be at least three glaze loads. I now live in a retirement Village the best in Australia if not the world, I would not live anywhere else, I am 83 and have been potting for over 40 years, I love teaching. But I still yearn for my gas kiln at a temp of Cone 13, it is such a come down to be at cone 8/9 I have to learn all over again with the glazes which interacts with what and does not go over and stick to the shelves. I love watching your videos and talking to all, you give me ideas to try and expand upon. I think that you are very very good and your students are lucky to have you for their teacher.
Oh wow! Thank you sooo much. I'm really pushing for a pool. Jumping in to cool off while glazing would be the ideal solution. I'm sure it would make me a better potter. 😀
I watched you make the spider plate, looks great now its fired, Are you happy with it, even with the spider falling off, there's always next time. your tripod mugs look good too, want to try that at some point, keep potting and I'll keep watching thanks x
I do like it, but I love the slip trailed spiders more than the painted ones, so I plan to make more. So glad you're enjoying the videos. It's been amazing the feedback they are getting and this wonderful pottery community that's developed.
OH MY GOSH!!! This is one hell of an amazing kiln load!! Just amazing beautiful pieces!! I love how you put things on posts to fit just a few more pieces in the kiln. By any chance did you film yourself changing the elements??? Also have you ever shown how you make your makers mark? Is it a stamp and then you put underglaze in it and wipe it back? Its absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you! I love the challenge of fitting in as much as I can. I didn't change the elements myself, my kiln guru did. I'm not up to that yet. I'd rather have someone else do that for me. 😀
@@hobblecreekpottery I do too!! I always try to fill every single tiny crevice of space! Lol. I would much rather someone else change my elements as well. Can you shed your kiln guru to Iowa for a real quick element change?! I have the same Cress kiln you have so he or she will know exactly what to do! Lol.
I just found your channel, I am a later starter potter(still learning, since covid) If you live in Utah... I am very interested in taking lessons. How could I get. in touch??

Wow full Kiln. Great inventive ideas. Love how the spider plate turned out.
I definitely like your hand painted flowers. Original is always better! Great kiln opening. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Everything looks great 👍 - boy that is one full kiln ❤
spidder plate is extraordinaire!
Think I watch your videos more than any others. In the UK we have miserable, wet weather, so a bit of heat sounds good! Great kiln opening.
Ahh thank you! Boy, I'd love some miserable wet weather. We're being baked alive here.
I like your hand painted better than decals. Thanks for sharing.
I really really like the little yellow flowers

Thank you!
Hobble-- You do VERY nice work. I've been at it for decades (2D and 3D) and always recognize an artist who hears her own voice. Good for you.
Ahh, thank you so much Pamela. 💓
@@hobblecreekpottery Keep'er going! I'll be sure to check back to hear your voice again.
@@PamelaRoss-qh6jh That's my plan!

It's a fun challenge for sure!

Thank you. He's not out of the woods yet, but getting better. Thank you for asking.
Love these videos and all of the beautiful work!
Love your spider dishes ❤
Wonderful as always!
I love my “ chi Etta” platter I use it all the time

Wild clay ! I hope we'll have a beautiful video of that ! 👍
Count on it!
Love the little leaf dish! I’m gonna need to ask about them
Great kiln opening

Please show us how you glaze your totem. I’m anxious to see what you choose!

@@hobblecreekpottery i can understand why the slip trailer Spider was better, its so realistic, made me sqirm a little while watching you do it lol
Wonderful thinks in the kiln❤
How do you make the earrings
If I haven't put a hole in the pieces already, I'll glue jewelry backs to them using E6000.

@@micheledickey4066 I'm sure he'd be up for it if you pay him enough, lol. He's amazing.
love ur channel! ur work is beautiful!!!! please, i’d love to know about the music playing at the end of ur vids. thank u!!! ❤❤❤
I'm luckily enough to know the artist. Melody Reid is my son-in-law's sister and very talented. 95% of the music on my channel she's composed for me.

Message me on Instagram or email me at tiffiniehelmer@gmail.com. I'm not open for new students this summer, but might be come fall.
Did you get a new tattoo? 😍
Nope. Same one I've had for years. I think I need another one, though. 😀
