Help!
Now ,is there anyone out there who would share their ideas on studio design.
20x40 structure. Flow pattern? Delivery ideas, storage , kiln room. Have
you just built something that you would share a design?
I am thinking that I might make it big enough to share it with 2 or 3 people
so we could share the work/expense .
Would appreciate any comments , ideas or horror stories of things NOT to do
when building a studio.
I am getting anxious to start.
Thanks,
RAKUIYQ

A few recommendations on studios:
- smoothly finished concrete floor with sealer; floor should slope slightly
to drain point
- MUST have clay traps to prevent clogging sink drain lines. Check Clayart
archives. Avoid sending to septic field if you have one.
- if electric heating used, mount higher than normal so they won't get wet
when you wash floor
- plastic shelving units (Home Depot: $40); hold 1000 lb., 18"x48". In
addition I converted one unit to a ware cart by mounting a unit on plywood
and adding heavy duty casters.
- plan for separate, ventilated kiln room if possible. Kiln room
ventilation is very desirable if summers are hot.
- install electric receptacle in ceiling over planned location of wheel.
- used, solid wood doors make fine work tables
