I made a big push this month to complete many other long-delayed repairs and improvements: electrical wiring replaced, old light fixtures and ugly drop-in ceiling removed, back walls painted, belt sander mounted on a new palette, smoke detector installed, fire extinguishers inspected, outside drainage fixed, steps at the loading dock, and minor repairs to the kilns\u2019 wiring.<\/p>\n

This cleared the way for me to measure the space, draw up floor plans and show them to the county\u2019s safety examiner.<\/p>\n

Uh-oh\u2026.<\/p>\n

When he saw kilns, saws, sanders and steel storage shelving on the floor plans, he wanted to classify the studio as a factory, which would have entailed a much more lengthy, costly and involved approval process. But after we talked for more than an hour, and I explained in detail the studio\u2019s contents and activities, he relented and said I could apply as a regular business.<\/p>\n

A glass art studio is not much like other businesses, and I\u2019m betting the inspector has never been in a kilnformed glass studio before. So I\u2019ll have to make what we do here seem \u201cordinary\u201d when the inspector comes.<\/p>\n

But I think this studio is extraordinary\u2026 and it allows us to make extraordinary glass.<\/p>\n
