Studio shots!

As promised, here are some pictures of the studio setup.  I had so much fun setting it up that I almost forgot to start making pottery.  Life sped up a little bit right after I got it turned into a functional space - so I haven't had much time to steal away.  Soon though, soon.



Wedging table screwed into the wall for stability, I used hardibacker board from Home Depot as the top wedging surface, and it seems to work well.





I found out the hard way that a chair with wheels doesn't work for throwing.  I actually ripped the casters off this chair and screwed it onto a 2x8 frame for stability.


One of my big problems for the space is a lack of plumbing.  I was surprised to pick up this wash basin sink for $20 at Value Home Center.  I drilled a hole in the bottom of a 5 gal bucket and fitted a simple spigot sealed with silicone caulking, and walah!  I have running water - enough to wash up tools and other messy items.
