I’m also waiting for the pictures of ‘studios’ that are just a table in a corner of a room, or the end of the dining room table. I am sure there are artists who do -not- have a dedicated clay room. I wanna see how THEY deal with carving out a space for their claying in the middle of all other life activities. (btw, that will be me, too.)

My first question, is this, keeping in mind that I do not have an unlimited budget, what size is the perfect size room for a studio? I know that the more room, the more “stuff” aquired to fill the space. I don’t want that!! LOL But I also am only going to be doing this once, and don’t want to be to small.

Great great topic!

Thanks. I’ll just hit you up later when you’ve had a chance to settle into your old/new space. It sounds like you could teach a “traveling studio” workshop. LOL All kidding aside, I hope your multiple shifts have at least given you an opportunity to improve your original studio.

My studio is in the basement and while it’s not unreasonably cold, the cold comes up from the floor and my feet really feel it. The upside is, no matter the time of year I never have to worry about my clay getting too warm.

I’d love to share photos but my poor studio is, uh, in transition….._again_. I had to move into the basement from my studio because the heating wasn’t working in the winter…..moved into the room that my son had vacated when he moved out and went to college…finally get myself all nice and settled and loving the space and son calls to say he’s moving home. deep sigh. So, since I couldn’t move back out to my studio (a converted garage) cuz’ the heat still wasn’t working well enough for winter temperatures, I took over the dining room and kitchen. Now, it’s warming up enough that I can move back out to my studio. You tired yet??? I am just writing this!! So, I’d love to share pictures, but it will be a while before I ‘land’…
