By now, you have some idea as to what kind of venture you want to tackle. And you have pretty well determined where you want to locate your new business. Of course money is going to be a strong factor in how much space you have to begin; but I encourage you to not cramp yourself too tightly because this kind of business can grow by leaps and bounds.
Break your shop into sections. The number and kinds of areas will be determined by the needs you will have to perform the kind of business you are wanting. Imagine if you will:
an area for mold production, an area for firing, an area for greenware, an area for bisque, an area for supplies, a classroom for open workshop, a classroom for formal training/classes, areas for display of projects or featured activities, or promotions, a check out area, a possible lounge area, a possible children’s corner,
an area for finished giftware
