Does anyone have plans for an efficient pottery studio/gallery or can anyone point me to a book or website?
I'm fairly new to the world of ceramics and have observed the layouts of four or five private and public school studios. My experience in the business world tells me there has to be an efficient (nearly assembly-line) style studio (ie. dry glaze/clay through the back door and finished pieces out the front door). I'm especially interested in factoring in the safety equipment (air filtration systems and venting) needed for a co-operative studio to be owned and shared by, say, four potters. I'm thinking it would be wise to formulate a detailed business plan before turning this obsession into a full-time occupation.
Any input or literature would be greatly appreciated.
