I have two places I can work with clay- either at work(high school ceramics teacher) or at home in my shed/studio. Right now I greatly prefer the school studio because it’s warmer and not in complete shambles. At home I’ve got one broken wheel, a huge mess from painting and renovating, and a max temp of about 60 degrees. At school, there’s a pug mill, great lighting and, just a lot less hassle. We’re on our third snow day in a row so I’ve got to go out to the old shed and warm things up to get some things done and it had me wondering what your space is like. Give us the good and the bad!

I need to buy some of my own bats to use at my community studio. They have plenty for me to use, but I'd like to have the flexibility of leaving items on the bat to dry occasionally. Since I want to let items sit a while, plastic is probably not ideal?? I'm new to this, so looking for recs on what I should buy. Thank you!

I have a boatload of content to share with you, but what I really want to know is how I can help you best. What techniques or skills would you like to learn?

I didn’t get anything directly pottery related for Christmas, but I did get some LED lights for my studio! I’m working on making my home studio a lot more video friendly so I look slightly less like a troll in his hidey hole. Did y’all get any pottery stuff?

First off, thank you for being here! My hope is to help you grow as an artist, no matter what level you’re at. Introduce yourself here so we can all get to know each other, and so I can start to custom tailor the content just for you! Tell us a little about yourself and the type of art you make (or want to make).
