This is what my typical station looks like in Ceramics. Unfortunately, somehow, I end up taking an entire table all to myself. I spread out, and it just works best this way. You can see my little hedgehog paintbrush holder on the right, there.
These are the shelves that we put our ceramics when they're ready to be put in the kiln. One shelf unit is for bisque firing, which is items that are greenware (dry clay) to be fired for the first time. Then after it's glazed it goes on a separate shelf for product to be glazed. It's all very confusing and I have to write it down in different lists to keep my thoughts in order.
This is the glaze room. You bring all your stuff in here and mix up different glazes and do some dipping. Or you mix up slips and paint greenware, or stains and paint bisqueware. Or terra sigilatta and paint greenware before it gets bisque fired. All very confusing.
These are some of the different glazes. We have to mix each one up separately, dip our stuff, and then go mix a different one. Dipping, let me say, is SO hard. I have yet to do it perfectly. It looks easier than it is.. and it's annoying.
This is the store room for our pieces while we wait for them to dry.

This is the drawing studio. Not a very good shot, but this is basically what it looks like from an artist's point of view every day.

I don't have any pictures of the sculpture or paint studio right now, but they're pretty normal looking. I'm sure they'll be popping up in later days.
