Hello,
I have been following and reading the posts on here for a long time and
thank everyone of the individuals who take there time to post on here. That
being said I am in process of setting up my own (albeit small) studio in my
new apartment.
I wanted to ask all of clay art about there studio set-up and what
configuration/organizational information they swear by or could not live
without. I have a general idea of how I would like to set my studio up but
would like to hear others input. I mostly work with slabs and wheel thrown
parts. I have read Jeff Zamek's studio practices book but do not think my
work would be greatly suited for that kind of setup.
Anyway, I would really like to hear some others chime in on there
preferences regarding studio setup.
Thank you,
-Eric Adams.

Eric -
Put everything you can on wheels - it then becomes easy to move around,
especially if you are working in a small space.
My 2 cents worth.

Dear Kenneth,
The only observation I have to make is that whatever space you have, and ho=
w=3D
ever carefully and economically you plan it, whatever you put in it will ex=
p=3D
and to fill it completely, leaving you to devise yet more ways of creating =
w=3D
orking space!=3D20

I like the overhead racks they use over the wheel area in Japan, as
well as the throwing platform. The ceiling hung racks in Japan are
made of bamboo. Here in Mpls, I have used 2 X 2"s

My workshop has beams I can reach easily, consequently they are festooned w=

As I previously indicated my workshop is rather full, so Vicki Hamilton's r=
