Hi. This mug/tumbler is lovely. It was nice to see you back doing your videos. Your students have been doing a great job, though. I hope your recovery goes well. It's not very good being unwell, especially when you're used to being so active.

These travel tumblers are such a cute and hot trend at the moment I do want to start making some spooky horror themed ones.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Me too!

[@anasclayhouse]

I’m glad to see you back and the travel mugs are lovely! Thank you for the tutorial Tiffany and get better soon!❤

[@MRC11221]

Showing how to correct unintentional errors was wonderful. You are an awesome teacher. The drinking cup is beautiful

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you!

[@wearhousecreations]

OMG, I just love you so much…I get tickled at how much alike we are! I agree that math is of the devil. I do have an issue with your choice of soda, though! Pepsi, ugh! Coke is the way to go, with a good southern “Bless your heart” thrown in! 😂❤ All in good fun! I’m so glad to have you back.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@wearhousecreations LOL, I'm a club soda gal. Can't stand the super sugary sodas, but yeah, I get it. Funny. Glad to find so many like-minded potters here!

[@micheledickey4066]

I feel the same way!! I don’t get how they are travel tumblers but I do like them for home! I’m sooo glad to see you making again! Welcome back!!! What a great idea for the templates!!

[@carolmayer8138]

That is gorgeous!! I hope you're recovering well from your surgery!

[@JudyHensley-xn5gu]

So good to see you! You are a master of clay! Thank you for sharing and continue to heal❣👍

[@tlccreates]

I just made some custom stamps…. This may be the project to try them out with. Soooooooo good to see you creating again, though limited. Hang in there kiddo. Thank you

[@mystierichards8252]

Hope you’re feeling better 🙏 you get a complete healing! Happy to see you!☀️✨

[@Skarande-1]

Very nice mug. And such a great idea to push in the edge for the straw. And then so nice decorated. Thank you for this great tutorial. Its great to see you are doing better and seeing you being creative. 👋 bye Sheila

[@TammySegg]

Oh my Goodness Theses are The Prettiest Travel Mugs Ive Seen out There!!!!!!! You Go Girl!!!!!! Defiantly going to give these a try ....Hope mine look half as good as yours!!!!! Thank You!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you!

[@Baruth1976]

You are so talented, I really look forward to your weekly demonstrations. You have been through so much in the past year or two. But your strong spirit shines through. Prayers for a complete healing. 💕🙏🏻

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Ahh, thank you! ❤️

[@susanfox4263]

Wonderful tutorial. Good to see you in your happy space again. I hope your shoulder op happens soon, take care and rest when you can. Hard I know lol. Xx

[@dianemodel5824]

Awesome template

[@crystallarson5872]

Another wonderful lesson - thank you!

[@ddtuss2585]

These are so cute. I would love one

[@BarbaraBlanc-xl8ns]

Lovely. Great job. Looking forward to using mine when I get back from Alaska.

[@user-ej9wc2fe2d]

Wonderful to see you up and able to get your hands on clay! Like your take on the sippy cup design. I’ve seen so many that look too much like the paper and plastic ones.-It has been over 100 degrees F here in Redding,California so I have been having some issues with drying too fast also. Thank goodness it gets much cooler in the morning and evening. -Liana

[@andreamcveety8193]

I am so glad you are getting back into the studio. I hope everyday gets a little better for you. ❤

[@ginnymaurer2580]

It my car holders. I used a Starbucks cup. Not big enough!! I love yours! I don’t think I’ll put the hole for a straw. But I learned a lot from this episode. Love your videos! I’m so glad you are getting better❤️🙏🏻😊☀️

[@terriromero-dewald6652]

I’m so glad you’re doing better. I’m sure it will take time to heal. Just know that we think about you and send you healing thoughts. Now, I have to get another MKM roller cuz I don’t have that one and its texture really made a great design element on the mug. 😘💜

[@JLSwanson]

Glad to see you back in your studio again Don’t overdo or strain the shoulder 😜😘

[@sussiemikkelsen1764]

Great design 🙏💫 Thank you.

[@Ellen.s.atelier]

Hi Tiffany! Nice to see you do a tuteral again! Hope you get behind the Wheeler soon❤

[@pupsnpots]

Make sure you cut the seam of the cup. Just use tape to hold it in place while you're forming your travel cup and then remove the tape and you can remove your form

[@jacquiw804]

These mugs are stunning. Think I would keep mine indoors though....I'd be terrified of breaking it😊😊. Great to see you on the road to recovery, it's a long one but, worth it in the long run. Hope you are getting stronger every day. Loved your students, they are very talented. Thanks for the class. ❤

[@RusticStonewarePipes-Mugs]

Crazy cool 😎! Very inspirational colors for my rustic stoneware projects!❤your channel!

[@lindagoesel3815]

So good to see you better. Take care and as hard as it is, go slow and mend. Blessings to you. Love that mug. ❤

[@tegannottelling]

These are something else glazed! Love the forest one. Great to see you looking so great. Hope your recovery goes smoothly and time flies for you.

[@PerrinPottery]

I just did a video on these but I was too lazy to add a handle, your video is so much better, lol. Beautiful and thanks for sharing!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

I need to check out yours. I love that there are so many ways to do things.

[@gaylemoore3342]

Glad your feeling better Always a pleasure to watch you

[@pamdorneman888]

Thanks! I like using the rolls of paint paper you can get at the hardware ( home depot and such) I wrap the cups , pvc pipe and such first. That way the forms slip out after you're done. The rolls come in 6? inch rolls. Hope surgery was a success!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Great tip, thanks!

[@jeanmartin6410]

I’m sure you already know this, but I read corn starch helps. I’ve used it and it really helps.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, it works wonders, but I was working too fast to think about it. Which happens a lot. I always think of it later. 😀

[@jeanmartin6410]

@@hobblecreekpottery me too!

[@SuesOriginals]

I wonder if you could convince Sharon Hoppe to make a sippy cup form for you? It would sell well after people see your video.

[@Deem57]

Will you post a video when these pieces are glazed? Would love to see the final results (and I love all the Celtic themes too).

[@TheRavenBlack1-cw1sr]

❤❤

[@dianestramacchia3616]

I think ‘Travel Sipper’

[@lyndagaylebanner6462]

How about wrapping newspaper loosely around the plastic cup first?

[@ddtuss2585]

You could put pantyhose on the cup so it won’t stick

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

I hope you get better soon. What glazes are on the mugs, could share the combo?🤗

[@hobblecreekpottery]

The fish mug is shadow blue and coastal blue from Clayscapes. The trees is winter woods and spectrums holly green. The moose, mountains and trees are Coyote root beer in the bottom, spectrum Holly green, then dabs of opulence grape for the mountains, and then the rim is spectrums glacier.

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

Thank you for sharing🤗

[@cariadwales1979]

Could you spray the plastic cup with WD40 or cornstarch to stop the clay sticking to it ?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, you most certainly could. And I should have thought of it.

[@lyndagaylebanner6462]

Adult sippy cups!

[@barbarac4138]

Corn starch your cup next time
