Aloha everyone
I'm building a studio addition on a shoestring budget, about 300 sq. ft. I
don't want to spend the money for a concrete floor and am considering
alternatives. A voice inside me spoke, "You're a potter, why not do it in
the dirt?". I live in Hawaii so climate is comfortable. It is very wet
here, 50-80 in. of rain, but I have good drainage on site. Anyone ever work
for a long time in a dirt floored studio? If so, what was it like, would
you recommend it? Any design considerations?
Mahalo,
Dean

Why don't you make tile for your floor?

A dirt floor would be kinda muddy when wet, wouldn't it? Could it be
made into a tamped surface with a dry mix of portland and something
else?
The climate is so lovely, having a dirt floor might not be bad-
I'd just be scared of the centipedes!
