I’ve been needing for some time now to get out to the studio and do some ‘housekeeping’ – you know, the stuff that continually suffers from procrastination: cleaning, mixing glazes, organising, recycling – the sort of chores you even find yourself scrubbing the shower before doing!
So yesterday I took a deep breath and faced the inevitable – an afternoon of studio maintenance.
I decided to record the experience through a photo essay to prove to you that I did it and to show what a wonderful productive job I completed… yes?

Your setup looks fabulous and well-organized! I knew after only one course when I was at the University, as dirty as metals are, clay is its own animal! 🙂
