Flashback Friday ⏪️ Here’s how my tiny studio looked 6 years ago.
Backstage of our rental garage, that we shared with my other half. We both had our motorcycles there, and this tiny 3x3 square meters room was our tack room for all the riding gear, spare tires etc.
I actually started ceramics at my kitchen, but pretty soon I understood that it’s not working and moved our gear out of that tiny room at the garage.
First I had only one work table in there and one wall of shelves. Then added the wedging table and soon after the wheel arrived. Not long after I realized that I needed my own kiln. So it seemed reasonable to sell one of my motorbike, that also equaled more space for the kiln 😁 As to actually bring in the kiln, wedging table needed to move into the main garage space (almost the same amount of space as one motorcycle).
Then more shelves went up, more clay to storage came in and finally I had to start drying my works in the main garage space as well. I think around that time I started to look other options for the studio. I also were a bit tired of the bucket system for using water. There was running water, but only tiny sink that wasn’t even usable for washing up your hands properly.
Yeah. Good times 😄 As tight space puts your imagination to work really efficiently.
