There were 6 of us at Libow Pottery when the relationship stresses pushed us into 3 directions. I moved to Fitzwilliam Depot with my girlfriend another friend. We rented a house where the owners didn’t object to us using the basement for a studio and building a metal kiln shed and rammed earth catenary arch kiln in the back yard. We were young, and the amount of work it took to setup a studio just seemed to be what people who were passionate about their vision did. In hindsight, it was exhausting!
