I have yet to meet a clay artist outside of school settings who claims to have more space than they need to get their work done. Most, including me, have carved out a space somewhere that works just as long as there is some semblance of order. I have written about the work flow in a clay studio before and confess that I tweak that process with some regularity. It is refreshing to read that others face similar struggles and that they stop to reflect on the process occasionally.
Assorted Mugs – Lori Watts
Lori Watts is a clay artist living/working in Augusta, Maine. Her blog,
Fine Mess Pottery, is one that I frequent and one that I recommend to other clay folks as an example of someone
doing it right. In a new year’s post, Lori writes about her clean-up and re-organization of her studio workspace…and titled the post,
A Work in Progress. It is worth the read if you have ever considered having your own studio. Lori’s focus on efficiency speaks well of her effort to keep her
Fine Mess from becoming a
Big Mess, a focus that I’ll need to remember. For me, there are points from her post that I will have to address that I have not seriously considered…like a place to process/package orders and where to keep those favorite books so they’ll not get covered in studio dust.
Enjoy A Fine Mess…and bring along a cup of coffee. I’ll stop now, before my coffee gets any colder.
