Potters are always on the lookout for things to repurpose. After our recent move we had a leftover single mattress box spring. In order to haul it away more easily, Alan started cutting it up in the driveway. I happened by and noticed the metal interior structure looked like A large kitchen baking sheet organizer. Hummm ???…Ah ha, My “new” bat rack…or something. Alan graciously humored me as I described how to cut out two sections about 30 inches by 18 inches and then accommodated. The studio was still part makeshift workspace and construction zone. I happily added my new finds to the pile of “maybe I can use this” stuff.
fast forward. Now the barn-to-studio conversion is virtually finished. As I get organized, the old box spring’s innards are coming in handy. One is a bat and ware board rack on top of my throwing tool cabinet. I offset the bats so they dry quicker since the rack is steel and may rust over time. Another rack is being used for boxes, rollers, and sticks on a bottom shelf next to the slab roller.
