Construction/Deconstruction

As promised, an update on shop! This week has been a mixture of shop insulating, kiln firing,  and coming up with exciting ideas!  Theres something comforting about the white blanket of snow covering everything and a storm outside that makes all of the world seem to disappear!

Tucked in the shop with the storm doors up, a person can sing loudly and even dance without the outside world being any the wiser, all while artistic messes happen.

The messes start like every mess, with good intention. I had meant to spend the week insulating the back pottery area. The pottery area is one of the last places to be insulated and because it faces the water when the wind is blowing the cold air funnels through the shop. Another thing to note is the fact you could see between the floor boards in that area down to the icy water which on stormy days and high-tides wind and waves jump between the boards! brrrr!

So the pottery area was stripped and insulation was put down and its all being covered over with plywood which will be painted.
