yippee!!!

welllll....i finally did it! i ordered myself a slabroller! for years and years i have been rolling slabs by hand, with my trusty rolling pin and a few sticks, and it has served me well, but alas it is time to move on up! i finally decided on the northstar and bought it through my trusty equipment source sheffield pottery in sheffield, mass. i also bought my kiln from them and their service and support is great...not to mention they always seem to have the best prices around.

so, it should be here sometime this week or next, and i have been busy prepping the studio for its arrival...moving things, throwing things out, organizing. it has been a great opportunity for me to re-think the flow of my workspace and find a way to make it the most productive. my space is only about 530 square feet and is broken up strangely due to previous tenants, so its always interesting to try and get the most out of the space with all the stuff i seem to pack in there....i think i like it a lot better now, and i can move around nicely without it being too choppy...and i have a nice little space set aside for the slabby slab roller! i'll take some pics and post them once i get it all together....
