Wet Studio Revamp
Hi all,
Over the past 6 months or so I have been in the process of letting go of clutter and trying to set up my workspaces to streamline my efficiency (I need all the help I can get!). To that end, I have been reworking my wet studio space which worked okay for me, but was not working at all for my surface design work group, the Free Motions. I still have tons of stuff that needs to go, but things are pretty well laid out.
Problems in the studio involved disorganization of supplies, my metalworking supplies taking too much room, no central/bare space to put the supplies we were using; we had to put them on our work tables which gets in the way of work space, 3 tables instead of four and clutter in the sink taking up one half of the double utility sink, also no good solution for storing thermofax screens.
I have been decluttering my brains out, packing up my metalworking stuff-except for things I use to etch copper, and generally getting rid of TONS of junk. Here’s the new layout:
All my metalworking equipment is out of the way in those bins!
Here's two of the worktables, ironing board and empty (yeah!) tables

You can see just the tip of the fourth table here.

We still need to deal with lighting. The light down here is really terrible (it is a basement), but all in all, I am pretty pleased.
My pond was looking pretty good, too. Here’s a picture!
My pond!
