Gnomes!

[@lesliepease3988]

Adorable! I can't wait to try to make one. So glad you also showed how to make the mustache!!!

[@barbarac4138]

Loved your teaching. I use an eyeliner brush to glaze tiny spots like eyes. They work better any little paint brushes I have tried.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Great tip!

[@paulahill472]

You’re demonstration is phenomenal 👏👏👏. Thanks for your presentation.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Oh, wow, Paula, thank you sooo much. This was wonderful to see.

[@traceyschaufele]

Your clear instructions inspired me to try! Thanks so much!

[@katherinewells3099]

These are so cute! I'm a potter north of Seattle. We have the opposite problem here. Plenty of humidity. Things can sometimes take a while to dry.

[@JudyHensley-xn5gu]

Thank you so much!!! You have opened my world of wonderful gnomes!!!! 💖

[@patgalletti6221]

Wow...great video. These little guys are still so popular and now a much easier way to hand build them. Thanks again for all your tips I will be trying them out!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

I'd love to see a picture when you finish. Thank you!

[@crystallarson5872]

I love watching you creating these little guys.

[@lynnschultz5360]

My mom 92yo loves gnomes . Going to try to make her a Christmas set and think I can use a sugar cone for form since I don’t have the wooden tool

[@cheaquettaj]

You had me at Gnomes! I watched your entire process, subscribed, and gave you a Thumbs Up! Your pleasant voice and mannerisms allowed me to watch while resting from a difficult morning. Thanks for the great Gnome idea and creation process. I will definitely try these one day soon.

[@Gingy50]

Love this idea thanks for sharing xx

I'm making gno.We for our home pottery sale in December....so I got me a wooden pizzzel (sp?) and it makes the job so much easier! Thanks for the great tip!

[@debbiewilsomn4314]

I'm back to your gnomes. Love them. what cone do you fire them to in bisque and what glaze do you use and fire to for completion. I just love them

[@hobblecreekpottery]

I bisque fire to c cone 04, then glaze fire 5/6. For glazes, I like celadons if I have texture.

[@samantharussell2220]

Absolutely adorable!! I am inspired! Thankyou!

[@rfowler6039]

I was looking for something that I could quickly make to put on a Found Art Trail and I think these would be perfect. I could make a few small ones in no time and nestle them along the walking trail. Thank you so much for the idea and the informative video!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

What a great idea! Love it

[@annpes3143]

Lovely! Thanks ❤

I don't have the template, but it's just a triangle with the bottom rounded a bit. You can make the template any size you want. The one I used in the video is 6x6x6.

[@margaretfrew6661]

I have made three gnomes and they are drying, this is the second time that I have viewed your post and I did see something that I should do easier. I am going to watch Tree trunk houses and then witches. These are for future events. The three that I made had taken me 3 hours. No doubt as I get into the rhythm of making witches, gnomes, and tree houses I will become a little faster. Do you say how you glaze these beauties and do you use "Duncan, Mayco, or another brand?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Keep at it, they do get faster, lol. I use whatever glazes or underglazes, I have on hand. You can go crazy glazing them. 😀

[@gailsapone7247]

❤❤❤

[@nancymalensky4448]

Thank you so much for this video. Mine are drying now but I have a few questions. Do you fire first and then glaze and fire again? How do I keep the stamping to show through the glaze?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, bisque fire then glaze. I use celadon glazes that highlight texture. Celadons are great for these fellows.

[@pamelabuss7506]

What kind of clay do you use?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

For these, I used Bmix.

[@dmaciel2830]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jerib4514]

how do you keep the clay from sticking to the tool. I am going to use air dry clay

[@hobblecreekpottery]

I don't know about air dry clay. I know it's sticky, so maybe try corn starch? My stoneware doesn't stick to wood. Good luck.

[@donnaschlitz7881]

Where did you get the tea spout wooden tool?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Amazon and there is a link in the description.

[@dawne4me]

Do you ever use air dry clay for your projects? Are these gnomes then fired and painted?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

If you use air dry clay, built a support with tinfoil. These are stoneware and fired with glaze.

[@alicekeiser9181]

What type of clay are you using. Hight fire or low?? What cone?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Cone 5/6, so midfire.

[@alicekeiser9181]

I love your videos! Is there any way you would share your template for the gnomes by email?

I'm not tech savvy enough to figure out how. I cut it out of craft foam, just making a pizza slice. Pretty easy. Cut a bunch of different slices from a big circle and see which one works best for you. Good luck.

[@janicecrain7783]

Are you using air dry clay?

I'm using stoneware here that requires it to be fired in a kiln. But I've heard from others who have made them our of air dry clay.
