- 🐉 Welcome to my channel!
In this video, I'll guide you through the mesmerizing process of sculpting a dragon mug, just in time for the Year of the Dragon starting on Feb 10th. Dragons, symbols of strength, good luck, wisdom, and protection, have inspired cultures worldwide. Join me as I blend artistry and functionality in this unique creation.

🌀 Starting with my signature mandala at the base, I carve intricate patterns resembling scales or rock formations. Whether handbuilding or wheel throwing, the choice is yours. Watch as I shape the dragon's head, block out facial features, and add expressive details like eyes, cheekbones, and nostrils.

🦇 Sculpting the wings involves creating guide lines for skeletal structure, carving the wing detail and ensuring symmetry. Learn the art of attaching wings seamlessly to achieve a natural, flowing movement around the mug. Discover how I add horns and scales, giving the dragon mug character and a touch of fantasy.

🖌️ The sculpting process involves using various tools, from loop tools for details to ball point tools for scale patterns. Follow along as I share insights into anatomy, musculature, and the creative freedom to contribute to the collective imagination.

Your shop doesn’t have any mugs for sale! How do I find these dragon mugs?
I will be doing a shop update once they’ve been fired! Subscribe for updates 😁🐉
I'm new to the channel (thanks, algorithm)
Do you have any videos about treating clay for regular usage?
Thanks for checking out my video! I haven’t made any videos about treating clay yet. Are you wanting to learn about wild clay treatment?
@@reidasage that sounds more complicated, I think.
I was just wondering about glazing or whatever process is needed to use the mug as a regular drinking mug.
Probably for mead, in the case of a dragon one :)
Awe that makes sense, Yes I will be making a follow up video on how I glaze and fire the dragon mugs so they are dishwasher and food safe 😁 stay tuned!
@@reidasage suscribed :)
You have Amazing Talent. But may I ask a question? What kind of Clay are you using?
Thank you so much! I am using a water based clay for ceramics.
Thank you, You don't mean Air dry clay right? @@reidasage
Not air dry clay. This is clay for pottery that will be fired in a kiln. @@suzanwinn6116
Amazing!
Is this mug going to be for sale?
Yes these will be available in my shop once they’re fired. I will announce the shop update on social and by mailing list.
@@reidasageAmazing mug! How many hours does it take to create one? Can’t wait to see how you glaze them.
Woohoo 🎉 you are my Khaleesi! 🐉
Awe 🐉🔮🧚🏽 thanks bb
How did it look after it was fired?
This hasn’t been fired yet, I will post a follow up video once it’s been glazed and fired😁✨
Is it possible to glaze this style of mug?
Yes check out my other video showing the glazing process 😁
Wow you didn't make the handle part of the Dragon a challenging curse on all of us who clayed in 70s
😁
How long does it take you to sculpt a dragon mug?
I found the answer on your other video! Thank you!
A few hours ish 😄
