At last the studio is ready for classes, initially just for small groups and individual workshops in art clay silver, metal clay, jewellery making and enamelling. All the building work was completed a few weeks ago and now it has been decorated and looks fantastic. I have ordered new display cabinets, another large work table and one or two other things, just to add the finishing touches but my first class is tomorrow, so today I have been tidying up and getting ready.
This is the view from just inside the door looking down the length of the room.
The studio is fully equipped with driers, kilns and a wide selection of jewellery making tools as well as a good ventilation system, a dedicated hearth for soldering and torch for lampwork glass bead making.
