Studio Reorganization

When I first started my studio in the room where it is now, I put up a few sets of shelves and a table and kindof spread out from there.  Nothing was organized in a way that made sense for work flow-- the wet slip was across the room from my molds, the glazes were far away from my tables and the sink, etc.

Since I got to reorganize my studio from scratch, I put a lot of thought into where things go.  Hopefully the work flow will be better and I won't be going back and forth across the room all the time anymore.

One of the most important considerations, however, walks around on four legs and drives me nutso by laying behind my chair or right where I'm trying to walk, or wagging his big tail near my works in progress.  So I made sure to arrange the shelving units in a way that left a few easily-barred openings to the serious workspace in my studio.

And it works!  Today I took advantage of that feature and blocked Bandit out while I was working on things on the floor.  A cocked chair lets me step over it easily when I need to get out or in, but my puppy dog can only stick his head in between the shelves.

Needless to say, Bandit does not approve.
