How does my studio
"work"?
I
drafted this floorplan to help me visualize my upcoming studio
space. Where would everything go? How would the crafting of the
pottery move through the space? How large could I make my tables,
racks and workbenches? Would I have room for an office? How large
could I make the showroom? What about venting for the kiln and
glaze mixing? All these questions and many others would have to be
answered with the help of this floorplan (done on Adobe Illustrator
10).
One of the
smallest things that had the biggest consequences was the length of
my wareboards. I decided 40" was as short as I wanted to go and as
long as the studio space would alllow. This set the width of the
main work table as well as the throwing bench, wareracks and the
dampbox. With these roughly placed in the studio I could then
designate work areas for each step and design the space to suit the
needs.
Each small square on the plan equals 1 foot,
each large square equals 5 feet.
As I
build this page I will add an updated floorplan and studio photos
showing each area of the studio in use.
