Thank you for sharing Denice! During my apprenticeship or pottery classes cleanliness was always vital to the studio environment. I can just prepare, think well, and execute in a more methodical way when everything is tidy. For that reason I cannot take the advice of hanging newspapers or vinyl to solve the problem. By now though I just wish I could so I can just start producing creating and having a routine back of pottery. Unfortunately I share my household with a number of roommates and my studio is very small and makeshift but always has to be clean or I will get yelled at.
