I would love to teach a class for you, and love to share my knowledge with you. Contact me to arrange your class. Click here for more info on classes: New Art Studio, Update
Here is the next set of pics of the new Art Studio:
Exterior wall and window are in on the right side unit, or the south side. So studio is completely closed up now.
Photo of the window and wall from the inside looking out. Forgive the yard and the construction zone.
Started painting the floor on the left side or north side. I am really happy with the way the floor is coming out. The north half of the studio is almost done!!
Started painting the ceiling and walls of in the south side of the studio with the primer.
I really make a mess when I paint….lol. Been scraping paint off my hands, face and glasses for days. Ceilings really splatter when you paint them.
The electrician was working today on the lights, ceiling fans and outlets, this is the north side. Yeah!! Getting so excited!! I should have electricity connected soon!!!
And lights and fan on the south side. I just put a final coat of paint up where the lights and fan were going and will come back and finish the rest when all the primer is done.
I have been cleaning up the old studio up stairs, sorting stuff and getting preparing to move the work table and glass storage cabinet out to the new studio. Started taking small stuff out every trip outside, and putting it in the purple cabinets, such as beads and glass rods for bead making. I am moving out my glass band saw, glass grinder and two small table top 110 kilns. I have to clean off the work table and empty out the glass storage cabinet so I can move them out. Tons of work painting, and painting, and painting, and moving stuff, but will be so worth it when I get it done!!! The old studio upstairs inside the house will be turned into my fiber arts studio for sewing, yarn, spinning and weaving. All the glass work, fusing, bead making, torches, jewelry design will all be done outside in the new studio. I will also have room to teach classes again!!! Yeah!!!
