I got a query about small workshop design lately. I built mine small
because I could build it that size without getting a building permit
(the rules vary from place to place).
Anyway I decided to make a guided tour of my little shop, without
cleaning it up like it was on the cover of CM. I find pictures of
workshops worth hundreds of words...
here's the link: http://pages.about.com/bsondahl/shop1.html
I'm thinking of building a bigger one, as I got used to a larger one
while living away, but this one really works sufficiently. If people
are interested I could add on the kiln room and sales area...

Hi Brad, I for one want to thank you for baring your workshop to our
inquisitive eyes. I love looking at other people's workspaces. Amazing what
can be done in a 9x10 ft. space. My space is 9x22 (not quite half of a
garage) and I often feel cramped. My Skutt is in there too, but I have
cross-ventilation, and don't work in there during the early stages of
firing.
I looked at your on-line sales gallery, and am inpressed with how you
have organized the choices available to customers, in a way simple to
understand and navigate. I plan to go back and look at some of your other
pages soon- looks interesting.

So, how small is small? The pics are actually inspiring (given the space
I don't have to devote to a pottery). Some idea of the footprint of the
space would help me get an idea of how the pictures relate to one another.
Thanks.

We were amazed at small studio space when we were lucky enough to be
able to visit Tony and Sheila's Sour Cherry Pottery last summer. In
250 sq. ft., they have 2 full time potters working as well as their
full showroom. Quite a feat. One of the most important parts of
using smaller space that struck us, is that it forces discipline in
work habits and processes. You can't have stuff lying about.
Speak up Tony.

Brad,
I appreciated seeing your work room. (I'll admit that it makes me feel
better about my 500 cubic feet in the bathroom. I'd have more space if they
would just let me put the wedging table over the toilet. Oh families can be
so difficult.)
Anyway, I would be interested in seeing your kiln room and sales area.
Best regards, Carol
