Cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be part of such a caring and sharing community!

Wish me luck.

I like to have my laptop on the same table as my work table, so I can use both at once. If you like to follow along with video tutorials, this may be a good idea for you as well. I also like to have my workspace under the window. This gives nice natural light for claying and gives me a view to look out at. Plus this way the light from the window, doesn’t shine on my computer screen.

Make sure your table/desk/work surface is polymer safe. Glass or formica is an excellent choice. Right now I am using a folding Rubbermaid table that works well but it is hard to clamp the pasta machine to. In my new studio I will change that.

Lots of plug ins or power bars are important, as well as good lighting. If the room’s lighting isn’t that great, a portable OTT light is fabulous. I’ve worked for years out of a tiny space less than 10′ x 10′ and have done the bulk of my work on a small cutting board beside the computer, so a big space isn’t necessary.

Have fun with the process. Take pictures if you can. Maybe others will pop in with their ideas as well.

Between now and then, would surely appreciate folks throwing up quick pics of their work area, or describe it here. I need to learn and incorporate a lot of tricks fast, as I only get manpower for one day.

Trying to use every feature that would help in the future as my Muliple Sclerosis zig zags or progresses. Any help (ahem, Cindy?) would be greatly appreciated.
