Over Christmas break I got a little time to work in the clay studio.  I’ve also had school canceled a few days this winter so I’ve had a little extra time to put up shelves and get things organized.

I added a shelf at the top of the glaze area which I’m using for finished work and random objects that I don’t really use that often.  Now I can use the two bottom shelves for glazes, chemicals and other glaze related tools and equipment.  I might try to come up with a row of drawers or containers for storing chemicals.

I rearranged the small set of shelves on the floor and the table.  Now I have better access to the whole table and I can move pots from the table to the long shelf against the west wall easily.  And I feel like everything is less crammed into the corner.  I haven’t glazed anything using this arrangement so I’m excited to try it out.

The other shelf I added is above the wedging table/workbench against the north wall.  With this extra top shelf I have a lot of space to keep the stuff that I rarely use.  Now I can use the easier-to-reach shelves for the stuff that I use regularly.  Now I just need some more tools!

I also added one more set of shelves near the sink.  I just bought the plastic, easy to put together shelves when they were on sale at Menard’s.  I use them for drying plastic buckets and containers after I wash them.
