My goodness, it's been over 3 months since I posted. Well, what happened is that I decided to convert the store room to a pottery room. Very exciting, but in the process the basement was a dusty mess, so I had to put away the sewing machine and all my fabrics.
The pottery room took about 4 weeks to complete and after it was finished I needed to go through all the junk that had been in the store room. Much of it was thrown or given away, but the remainder was organized into bins and put on shelves in the new, improved, smaller store room. The store room is now half its original size, but has twice the lighting, painted walls, and a nice epoxy floor. I love it! I have photos and will post them soon.
So, what's the pottery room like? First of all, it's small. Enough for me, and maybe one other person, but that's pushing it. The room is about 8' x 11'. I had a sink installed, which was relatively easy because there is a bathroom on the otherside of the wall. I can't fathom how some people can play with clay without running water. I put in 6 recessed lights so the room is nice and bright. I bought a table off craigslist and covered it with canvas for a work area. X B added two sets of adjustable shelves, which I have already crammed with supplies. One of my pottery buddies was selling her old slab roller, so I jumped on that like a flea on a dog. X B just finished making me a wonderful table for the slab roller. It works like a dream. I love it and appreciate all his work. Under the stairs I have a little storage area for glaze chemicals. So, I've had the room for about a month now and I am still pinching myself. I can't believe I have this wonderful space. I will post photos of this too asap.
