Do You Have a Portable 'Studio'?
I know you. I see you with your hands in the mud and those tools at arms reach. I'd bet that some of you (me too) make things away from traditional studio settings...because we truly enjoy the fun/creative energy. Having said that, I'm picturing my basic 'portable' studio that has found itself outside on a deck, sitting in a chair next to a campfire, and resting next to a creek with my feet in the water. For making small whistles and tone sculptures, here is what you see in the image on this post: - A lightweight lapboard - A sealable container for slip/scraps - My custom tool for making airway tubes for flutes - A couple of sharps/blades for carving/shaping/smoothing - Cleanup brush (and small sponge - not pictured) - Clay (just a small bag, may a 1lb or 0.5kg) Of course there are challenges... transporting delicate greenware, keeping pieces moist, and asking oneself if this is just 'nutz' 😉 If you have a 'portable work set-up', what does yours include, and what challenges have you faced if/when working remotely.

@Paul Chenoweth I have some trimming to do after lunch so will take a photo, and I usually get kitchen stuff on FB Marketplace to boost pottery supplies. Loads of kitchen stuff is on there near to me so if it looks good I snap it up.

Wheel on wheels. If I have to take it to the top of the garden I strap it on with a yoga strap to stop it sliding off but apart from that, this is its permanent home. The toolbox used to be my travelling toolkit for when I taught food growing so I'd use it to transport seeds and trays and all sorts round the places I taught in.
