Skull Platter Mishima-Style (Handbuilt Pottery Tutorial)!

*Filmed on June 16th, 2024
Pottery handbuilding tutorial making a skull platter, using a placemat. I hadn't made this before, and of course, I made it for the first time on camera. But I had the idea of painting with underglazes, then waxing, and then adding black underglaze for a Mishima look without all the carving. I ended with a very cool project that actually worked.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@dianemodel5824 Thank you!

[@denisenoble4010]

So glad this has come up, I watched Mikki kiln opening, it's looked stunning e ven in it's less than perfect shape, thanks fosharin with us😊

[@mariesara]

This looks already gorgeous, I can't wait to see the result once glazed and fired 😍

[@kathymikulin9006]

Love your speech, I fill the same way. So cool skull...

[@lynneyoung800]

Oh Tiffany you echo my thoughts about age, this 25 yr old looks out of a 73 yr old body! I have been laid up after having quite intensive surgery on my foot, 2 plates and a couple of screws holding it all together, and, although my upper body is ok to pot, it is so painful if my foot is not elevated that I’ve had to take a break - and it’s crazy how much I’m craving to get back to it. I am 4 weeks into 6 (I hope that’s all) off my foot so I’m thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for keeping me sane with your videos! 🥰

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@lynneyoung800 OH, that's sounds awful. I'm praying it's only the 6 weeks, and you can get back to your 25 year old spirit self!

[@Maryzlem]

Can't wait to see it when it's finished!!

[@angela2007march]

It looks really cool

[@mariastellamelendez8670]

Just found your channel. I am so thrilled because I love your whimsical attitude. Sorry you’re not feeling well. Get well soon looking forward to seeing all your content.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@mariastellamelendez8670 Yay! And welcome.

[@andimju]

Thank you! I made something on a smaller scale using one of my stencils that I had for papercrafts. I am excited to see how yours and mine comes out. Thank you, Tiffinie!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@andimju That's wonderful. I do have other videos using stencils and doing something similar.

[@debbiecarruthers5580]

I just purchased a skull from Shein. Received it a week ago. Maybe look there. I'm making one right now. I will try the Stroke & Coat. Thanks for the class.

[@lisabroussardjanuska6774]

I ordered one I LOVE this!!!! I will try with S & Coat

[@melrussell7830]

Wow I love it 😍 best of luck with the firings 🤞

[@carolynpollack1083]

Hi. WOW! I really, really like this. It is going to look so good when it's finished. My daughter has just ordered a whole heap of stuff for me from Temu. Looks like she's going to be placing another order for me.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@carolynpollack1083 Lol!

[@marycarolyn1293]

I’m willing to age (and looking forward to it) but I refuse to get old. This was a fun video! I’ve had wax end up where it doesn’t belong so I stuck the piece in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes. It burned off just fine and there was no problem with the glaze. I hope your shoulder is healing fast.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@marycarolyn1293 Awesome tip! Thanks you.

[@momadhis]

WOW! That is going to be FANTASTIC!!

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

Fun, fun, fun, love it. I hope you are doing much better now, lots of hugs and keep young always 🤗. Thank you for the demo, it was super

[@mandyowen4892]

Oh that’s cool. I’ve bought all my moulds from there and so many of my pottery supplies. Stay strong as I do miss your videos.

[@rufferstuff9148]

I like the muted colors. It adds to the creepiness. Can't wait to see it glazed. Hope the surgery went smoothly. Thanks.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Love how it looks already

[@SuesOriginals]

Very cool. I love DOTD stuff so I’ll have to get one of those to make some. Thanks for the great video, Tiffanie. I hope you’re doing well.

[@BarbaraBlanc-xl8ns]

Crazy that all those colors come out great. Why didn’t you put wax on the black outline. Great to see you doing this. It’s super fun to watch you and hear how you do things. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@BarbaraBlanc-xl8ns Thank you. I didn't put the wax on the black because I knew I would add more black, and I didn't want it to resist.

[@BarbaraBlanc-xl8ns]

Makes sense. I was just curious. Great job.

Love it and Temu every time I go on there I find something

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@corryg6403 I find too many things...

[@JLSwanson]

Cool skull pattern Unfortunately my 110 little kiln will not hold anything that big Been spending way to much on Temu🥴 Prayers that your shoulder surgery goes well

[@allysonedwards9311]

Did you show this in a kiln opening? Love it!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@allysonedwards9311 Yes, but it had issues. Mikki is doing kiln openings for now. There are 2 kiln openings that she's done, and I'm not sure which one is in.

[@ddtuss2585]

The high plains of Amarillo Tx has no humidity. Texas has all climates

[@justsomeguy3090]

Something even better than sheet rock is cement board. Similar to Sheetrock but made to use in place of Sheetrock in high moisture areas. Has no paper so doesn’t mold. But has the same moisture wicking properties.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@justsomeguy3090 Yes! I use cement board when I'm reclaiming big batches. I need to make wareboards out of that. Thanks for the reminder.

[@lisabroussardjanuska7681]

Our community kiln doesn't allow stroke and coat on greenware firing... something about gassing off. Any idea what that does in the process, does it hurt the kiln, does it affect others pieces that are firing at the same time? Man, I really wanna do it with S&C, I wish I could have my own kiln!!!

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

I just knew you are a tie die girl - I absolutely, for sure love ❤ your hair. When I try to use my finger on the edges it hardly ever works out for me 🤷‍♀️

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

Do you water your black underglaze down?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@shelleydoxtdator753 I didn't because it was already thin.

[@JLSwanson]

Southern Nevada is also dry

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@JLSwanson Yes! Brutal down there.

[@auroraskies8827]

Love this, great to see you Tiffinie. I'm 66 going on 29 🙃

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@auroraskies8827 Love it!

[@kellyannstonejohnson4204]

I ordered the sugar skull placemat . I have made both but my question is should I run them thru the bisque load. Then put lead free clear glaze 1 coat then run it thru the normal glaze cycle. Is this correct?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@kellyannstonejohnson4204 Yes, you got it right. Bisque firing the nderglazes will bake them in so you won't have to be careful with adding clear.

[@kellyannstonejohnson4204]

Thank you so much. I hope your surgery went well and healing is going faster.​@@hobblecreekpottery

[@lisabroussardjanuska7681]

What did you do to clean your mat afterwards??

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@lisabroussardjanuska7681 I soaked in water, and it wiped right off.

[@jaclynsbeach1307]

Why are you using the wax?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@jaclynsbeach1307 So it will repel the black.

[@lisabroussardjanuska7681]

Rhinestone head screws!!
