I would like to thank everyone, who responded to my post about
potters stools. I am grateful for all the information and opinions. Clayart
is just wonderful. Hope everyone will be continue to be patient with this
new home studio owner and be tolerant of all the questions I am bound to
post as I begin the process of getting my studio fixed up. It is going to
be slow, as there is a lot that needs to be done, a tight budget and big
dreams! I want to do it all right too, which adds to the number of
questions that will arise. My first acquisition, a Brent CXC wheel is due
sometime this week, if all goes well. I decided that in the case of the
wheel, I wanted the best, as it is to last the rest of my potting life,
which I hope will be the same duration as my life! The studio furniture and
other installations are all going to be very much on the low budget side.
So any thoughts on how to set up strong decent looking but reasonably
priced shelving would be very welcome. I am going to be scrounging around
garage sales in the hope of finding a cheap table for wedging (in fact, I
loved Elizabeth Priddy's idea of the low bench for that. Now if I can just
find a bench like yours, Elizabeth, but cheap, well, that will be an
important step forward!). Unfortunately, neither my husband nor I are handy
at installing things, woodworking and so on. But, we will learn a little as
we go along!
Thank you again to everyone.
All the best.

Veena, for shelving, try finding a supply house for used restaurant equipment.
You'll be able to find rolling baker's racks that you can fit with sheets of
plywood or other wood, or if you're really lucky you might find some metro
shelving. Line the wire racks with pieces of ddrywall, and you have tons of space
to dry your work. These are both the ssame types of shelving that you'll find at
pottery supply places, but at a fraction of the cost.
Good luck,
Diane in CT
