Hi...Hoping you feel better soon.. Love the Flasks, especially the sugar skull ones! Thank You!

[@LindaGisla]

I am glad to see you're working in the studio again. I love these flasks and aim to make one or more because it's such a fun project! Thank you for sharing as always. You are a gem!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you! They really are fun to make.

[@betsy5552]

Glad you are back I studio and doing better.

[@claymazingartworks5682]

What a great video❗👍🏽 I had purchase those dragon eyes off Amazon. Had several ideas how I was going to use them. I was disappointed how huge they were and no idea what the heck I was gonna use them for. THANK YOU , can't wait to make a flask!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Woohoo! You are good to go.

[@katlady5000]

Great video. I would love to see a wheel thrown version.

[@cariadwales1979]

Fabulous!! Yes please I would like to see a wheel thrown version but only when your knee is fuly healed and you are well enough to make one. XXX

[@pottersjournal]

If only I could escape from the wheel. You've got it, hand built is the way to go with these. Your textures and impressions really make the flaks.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you. The wheel is my first love, but handbuilding gives me a lot of options the wheel doesn't have. I really love combining the two. BTW, love your videos too.

[@carolynpollack1083]

Hi. I can hear in your voice that you're still not well. Take care. You're still recovering from your knee surgery. I love these flasks. Another project for me to try. One of my sons would love one. I ordered a dragon eye mold, and I already have some of the scaly stuff, so bring it on. Again, though, take care and heal.

[@sandrasmith5191]

Love this!! Everything you do and share is so helpful for those of us who ache to learn new things! You’re amazing! ❤

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahhh, thanks. 😀

[@janlewis9099]

Love the texture. My son is a huge Dungeon and Dragons fan, this would make a great present!! Take care and don't overdo it!! ❤️🤗

[@raygeorge4553]

[@InkyAly]

I would love to see a wheel thrown one always learn from your videos thanks so much xx

[@kandaceanneservello7323]

Wheel thrown flask please. I hope you feel better soon!

[@roxlee1]

Great tutorial. We are big GOT fans here and I know we'd love to make these and take them to the Ren Faire! I appreciate how you endorse using the tools you have and your hands...

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you. Yes, these dragon flasks would do well at those fairs. Good luck.

[@donnaschlitz7881]

Love the flask. Thank you for all the tips.

[@davidbyron1795]

Loved seeing the entire handbuilding process start to finish! I've only ever thrown on the wheel, so seeing every step is soooo helpful. Thanks and awesome flasks!

[@valcolclough711]

Hi Tiffany The Draggon eyes are on Etsy 👍🏻

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

I like to see the throwing version thank you🤗

[@brandijanine]

I Love all your videos! I’m always learning new tricks and techniques ❤ Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills 🙏🏻🫶🏻

I'm inspired again! Thankyou!

Beautiful

[@luziaraposo9544]

que peça maravilhosa! obrigada por ensinar!!! moro no Brasil

[@corryg6403]

Very cool i never thought about a flask, mugs and boxes tho, just testing the right glaze cobos for the eye. I make polyimer clay dragon eye journals with hand painted glass cabs for the eye ball.best sellers. As learned from back to earth creations

[@hobblecreekpottery]

They sound beautiful.

[@denisebyrd3555]

Slow down and give your body time to heal. It’s hard for artists to stay out of the studio. Take care of you ❤

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, I agree, but the best medicine for me is the studio. Resting is very dangerous for those who live with me. It's better for me to be busy. 😀

[@jeanmartin6410]

I love the dragon flasks. I make dragon eyes out of glass and nail polish. Do you think that e6000 would glue glass to clay? I suppose the cups would be hand wash only…. Thoughts? Appreciate your videos!

[@jaclynsbeach1307]

Love your videos!!! I am new to pottery/ceramics and have enjoyed and learned so much from you. Thank you for the effort and enormous amount of time you take to put your experience and talent out there for us. May I ask what glaze you used on the skull eyes? Thank you again.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you. I'm glad I could help. I used Amaco Firebrick on the eyes.

[@jaclynsbeach1307]

@@hobblecreekpottery Thank you!!!!

[@mandyowen4892]

Did you have your stamp for the bottom of your pieces personally made or did you do it yourself. I’m just loving that texture and the eye looks so cool. I made a dragon not long ago it too me so long to do the scales. 😊

[@hobblecreekpottery]

It was printed on a 3D printer. Thank you. 😊

[@michaelhelmer6407]

30 minute project for a pro!

[@buckbeaksgarden761]

I love these flasks! How do you get the cork to fit after the clay shrinks in the kiln?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

The great thing about corks is that they are tapered. So they'll fit even after the shrinking

[@micheledickey4066]

What an awesome tutorial! Thanks soo much. I’d love to know what your table is made of? Is it butcher block or just a piece of wood? My work bench is a Formica top and of course it cleans easily but I would LOVE to be able to work directly on it. Have you ever just cut out the hole from the top before you put it on the body?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

The top of my table is a good quality birch plywood. I do oil it with mineral oil a few times a year. I also built the work table to where it's easy to replace the birch if I ever need to. And yes, I've cut the hole once before adding spout and found out that it's much easier to cut the hole after it's all put together so the top doesn't sink.

[@micheledickey4066]

@@hobblecreekpottery Thank you!

[@buckbeaksgarden761]

Hey Tiffany! One more question.. I live in Ontario and im wondering what I can get for these if I sell locally? Can I ask what you have sold them for?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Each area is so different, but I sell flasks from 50 to 65 US. These would sell for 65 because of the 3rd gold luster firing. I hope that helps. Good luck.

[@donnaschlitz7881]

Shouldn’t you put clear glaze inside since liquid is going to be put in it?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

This is glazed inside, but I used the same glaze as the outside, which was Nebula from Clayscapes.

[@littleflower.business]

Why do you cut the hole last? Thanks for the video

[@hobblecreekpottery]

It easier to put the spout on with the piece being a closed form. The air trapped inside keeps the shape so it doesn't collapse or sink when you add the spout. I usually let the clay stiffen up a bit before cutting the hole too, just to make sure the top doesn't sink in. I hope that helps.
