If I wait any longer, it will be old news…

The studio is complete!  It has actually been complete for a few weeks now but I’ve been busy getting moved in and am just now getting around to posting a few pictures. Last weekend I held a little open studio celebration so that the neighbors could see what we’ve been up to and a number of my pottery friends came by as well to see what I’d been talking about for so many months!  It was a good excuse to meet  some of our neighbors as we just celebrated our first full year in the house.  And I enjoyed showing the studio to and visiting with the friends I met while taking pottery classes (Northwest Clay Center, Tuscon Museum of Art ) and going to local shows. And now to share the studio with you!

Drum roll please! Presenting the finished studio from the outside:

Thanks to Eric Lara ( Lara Custom Home Builders ) for the quality of the construction.  And thanks to Tom Kirschener of Envision Corporation for the very workable design. Between the two of them the studio fits right in with the existing house and exceeds all of my expectations. Next step, the gas kiln but in the meantime, I’m ready to start throwing pots!

I leave you with a view from the Sweetwater trail of the Catalina Mts.

  1. Congrads Terry!
    Looks really great. Glad you were able to get it done so beautiful.
    Hope you have some air conditioning for the hot days.
    Wish you all the best….

  2. Thanks! It is beautiful and restful – definitely air conditioned, and it has lots of windows for ventilation to take advantage of the cool Arizona nights! Hope some of you are able visit and see it in person!

  3. It’s beautiful and certainly fits in with the landscape. In fact, it looks like it’s been there all along. Barnes will never see you now … unless he goes out to the studio.

  4. Terry, I’m so happy for you. This studio looks dreamy and you certainly have earned it. Make beautiful work in it!
    Enviously yours, Liz

  5. It’s just beautiful, Terry. You must be in absolute heaven. I was going to give you grief for taking so long, until I remembered that my own studio makeover isn’t quite complete yet. Tomorrow, tomorrow. 😉 I *love* your red floor!!!

  6. I am thrilled with how it turned out and I love my red floor, too.

    Patty – for some reason, the last finishing steps seem to take a long time – I am confident you will finish your studio makeover.
