A while ago Gary and found two adjustable chairs at the flea market. I thought these would be perfect for working at the pottery wheel. Leave it tall for throwing standing up and reduce the height for throwing sitting down. I think the wood is solid birch; they're well made. If the seat is too hard I can easily make an elastic edged cushioned seat cover.
The back adjusts up or down. I also think it can be removed completely.
The legs adjust up or down. Gary has one set up at his work bench in the garage.
Yesterday I saw these file folder holders and immediately thought of plate stackers for my pottery booth. They could also be used to transport plates in a box to shows.
Here are my square and round plates in the stacker. I guess I better get busy and make more plates to fill up the stackers.
Another idea I had was to print a collage of greenware photos in a sign for my booth with a title saying "Coming Soon". It will encourage visitors to come back the next week to see what new pottery I have. This week I could have made a collage of the lidded containers and shell bowls. Now where are my acrylic sign holders? So many ideas so little time.
I finally got a chance to stop by the printers about making a booth banner and printing some blank note cards and prints with my original photographs. They don't supply the cellophane covers for the note cards. Do you know of anyone who sells those? Stay tuned for more about those next week or so. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
My sister bought cellophane envelopes at Hollo's Papercraft Store, 1878 Pearl Road, Brunswick, OH 44212. www.hollospapercraft.net.
ReplyDeleteYour flea market finds are super!
Hi Joanne, thanks, oh I must check out Hollo's, amazing what one can find at a flea market isn't it.
DeleteGreat ideas...we use a similar rack to hold the bats on which we throw at the BMCA clay studio...that way everyone just lifts their work off the wheel on a bat, removes it when it's dried a bit, and then washes the bat and returns it to the rack. Our studio manager thought that one up!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, another good use for these stackers, I couldn't believe it when I spied them over the booths from Gary's booth.
DeleteLoving your finds.
ReplyDeleteThe greenware collage is an excellent idea.
Hi Sue, thanks, I tried that collage early this am and for the life of me can't find the program I made collage's in before. One photo may have to suffice.
ReplyDeleteFine handy finds that's for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, one person's trash is another's treasure. Ha.
Deletesome great finds there... I know some potters have their seats sloping a little so the back of the seat is higher than the front... might be worth a try with your new chairs...
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, thanks, I'll give that a try, good tip
