I also set up a pottery studio in my garage and I bought a net off of amazon to put over my garage door so I could keep it open on nice days and keep the bugs out! I highly suggest it :) They're relatively affordable... about 30 bucks!
nice!! i had set one up but i think because i live in an apartment community i feel too exposed to leave the door fully open ya know??
@@palomathepeach I feel you, I felt quite exposed in my townhome with our neighbor right next door who also likes to hang on in his garage 😂 Luckily I’m moving in a month so I’ll be setting a new studio inside! Can’t wait to see all the pieces you make!
thanks for honestly sharing about your career and your realizations! I'm curious what's the alternative path, or a new path that you're thinking about vs. what you've been doing up until now? I've been following your journey since the start and you really inspired me to pursue art full-time.
i’ll include a little chat about it in a video :)
Hearing you talk about wanting to continue to be an artist but not a slave to social media so resonates with me. I’d love to do art full time, but not at the expense of always creating when I don’t believe it’s worth posting or showing. What a great way to burn out and feel trapped!
Congrats on your new studio, Paloma! It looks so cute! If I could just suggest that you be extra careful with fans around clay. My pottery teachers always said "no fans or brooms in a pottery studio" because you want to avoid clay dust floating in the air. The dust is so bad for our lungs. Lots of luck in your pottery journey! I can't wait to see what else you make!
In a world where everything goes so fast and videos become increasingly short, I LOVE sitting and watching all of your videos. They make me so calm and they allow me to put my life on pause for some time :). -a med student who loves art
I´m three days late but here to say that, im here for any form of art you wanna pursue Paloma!! I love your art and you as an artist/person, i find you an inspo as an art student myself!! and i hope to see your pottery studio getting even more fresh and cozy :))
Enjoy your new studio and don't forget to get yourself a mop! Damp mopping at least once a day will keep your space sweet and healthy💖I can't wait to see what you make.
I also set up a studio in my garage after not being able to afford a studio, I honestly love it. Just wanted to say how much I love your art and your openness with your feelings and emotions with your art. Change is hard but up an also be beautiful! Excited to see what you do with ceramics and how you move forward with it ! All the best ❤
Highly recommend old t shirts and sheets for rags!!!
wow what timing I'm quite literally waiting for everything to delivery for my at-home pottery studio! excited to see you make this spot a cozy creative space :)
Ah nice! So excited for u :)
You need a fridge for cold drinking water. Staying hydrated is important ❤ congrats on the new space!
You’re so right!
Working in a garage in Houston heat. I really applaud you. I live in Houston too, and the heat is kicking my butt. Hopefully, fall weather comes soon.
the amount of inspiration that I accumulated all throughout your art journey/career has been life changing! Thank you so much for everything you do and putting out the content that you love doing~ i appreciate you from the bottom of my deepest heart, i froggin' love you!
this is such a fantastic idea and you've made the studio look so cute! plus ikea trips are always good 🥰
little ikea date so cuteee
Wooow congratulations on this very big step💕everything looks awesome!
How exciting!!!
AWESOME!!! Its amazing to do different things, go for it! Once an artist the art never leaves your soul, dont be afraid to try another ways ❤
This was so cute!✨ happy for you.
Aw Paloma, thanks for your honesty and making this happen for us! I am still patiently waiting for when your ceramics don’t sell out so I can finally get one 😭 We support you and are excited for more pieces to come 💖
Congrats on the new studio!!! So inspiring!!!
i just wanna say that i love your channel so much and you are definitely one of my biggest inspirations 💕🫶🏼
thank u sm🥹❤️
i would really love to get into pottery as well. i was so inspired by amii ceramics! but i'm not willing to go somewhere else to use a kiln, so i will have to wait until i can afford one :) can't wait to see you enjoy your new space! 🩵
congrats!! i've been doing ceramics at home for years now and have been considering using my parent's garage to have more room to work, but i live in florida so heat is reall!! but this was inspiring and that lil' portable ac seems like a game changer!
it’s definitely a struggle with the heat!! each garage is different so work with what u got :)
I love your simple corner to do your ceramics. I too am on the hunt for a space where I can just have my studio, because currently I do everything at home. It's just nice to have a space just to create stuff ya know? 😅
Anyway, I can't wait to see all the cool stuff you'll do!
Congratulations!! I’ve always wanted to do this with my garage! I’m so happy you’re figuring yourself out and being honest with yourself with what you want!
I live in southern florida so I 100% understand humidity!! My crossfit gym doesn’t really have air (it’s in a big warehouse) and they have these fans that actually feel like it’s blowing cool air if that makes sense? The fan to Google is “vie air industrial fan” pricey but worth it! That would be my suggestion since you don’t have a window or anything for a small AC unit. Good luck! Amazing work
This is cool!
ah, how exciting! I've been dreaming about a pottery studio for like 3 years now, but it's so hard to find a place for it😩
Can't wait to see what you'll make!
yes!! it’s like ok who has a random concrete space i can be messy in
$200 for only 12 hours of studio access is outrageous. Glad you have your own space.
Very cool set up! I have a shed that is my art studio and because I live in a very humid area, we set up a dehumidifier. It works like a charm!
Return your AC and get one that has a dehumidifier option. We have two in our house that have saved us on super hot days.
mine has one!! i will definitely try out the dehumidifier feature :))
It is neither the place nor the physical things, when you have the will even with the simplest materials you do wonders.
me parece tan cool que seas tan sincera, tan transparente como vas creciendo , siento que todo no e color de rosa, nos toca trabajar muy duro , en algunos casos no se nos valora como debe ser
when even the ladder fits the aesthetic of dark green and orange , you know you have succeeded haha
Very inspiring!!! 🎉 looks cute! Wish you could do holes in the walls for art! 😫 on the plus side you can also put a projector in there and make it a small theater 😂
They have portable stand alone plug in AC units on wheels we used in one of our garages. You can put the air intake out a window or right under the door. I live in Texas too. Only thing is you’ll have to leave the garage door up just a little bit for the air intake it needs to be outside I think, but they are on rollers so you can move it around and pull it inside to close it up when not in use. You could use pool noodles to block the hot air under the garage door while you are in there. Weird suggestions but it might work and renter friendly. I know Lowes sells them because we got it there. I don’t know the brand but they do work really well. They are a little bit of a chunk of investment, not too bad but totally worth it. Oh and they are multi function, so they have heat as well. Hope that helps.
thanks so much! I did get a portable ac and it makes the heat tolerable. the pool noodles are a great idea
@@palomathepeach Hopping on the pool noodle idea. If the noodles aren't wide enough for the gap, you could use a long strip of the insulation foam board or multiple pieces taped/glued together. If you use a thicker piece, 3" or more, they could stand on their own. If you have to paint it for any reason, don't use spray paint. It might melt it. Can't wait to see how it all evolves!
I would love to have an art studio of my own one day your an amazing artist who definitely deserves to have that space
🥹🫶🏼
What about a huge Home Depot fan ?! 🥺🥺 to cool you in the garage 🫶🏼
So cool!! 💕 Do you not need a kiln for your ceramics?
yes! i just don’t have the space or money for one so ill be going to a studio for firing
Good luck Paloma. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter in your life. Are you going to buy your own klin? I know it is very expensive:)
tysm! I am not, I don’t have the access to an electrical outlet for a kiln, nor the ventilation or money. Just gonna use a kiln service from nearby :)
If possible what is the name or link to your ikea lamp?
what is the name of the bean bag chair ?
I dont know anything about ceramics but what about a kiln?
I’ll be using a kiln service at a nearby studio :)
The mirror's other purpose is to check that you don't have clay on your face before you leave :P
I have a pottery studio in my garage in south florida and she hot hot hot. I bought a big industrial fan (from Harbor Freight- pls pls do not waste your money on buying one from home depot or lowes- they have harbor freight in houston) that just blasts you when you are at the wheel. It actually assists when you are throwing by drying the piece out a bit which obviously keeps it from getting too weak and wet. When trimming though I have to put a dumb cardboard shield that I cut from a box int the splash pan that prevents the pieces from getting blasted by the fan and going beyond leather hard so you can still not die from the heat.
Also- my mom personality requires me to say that you need to be careful about the clay dust that accumulates in the studio, especially if you have a fan going. Please always hose things down or mop and not sweep, your lungs will thank you :)
Oh also, you can wear a long wet rag (cooling towel) around your neck- they are popular in florida (you see them everywhere at disney) and they are so good at keeping you cool- they also sell them at harbor freight.
thanks so much! I’ll definitely have to look into an industrial fan. My issue is I only have one outlet in this garage so I have to be careful to not trip the breaker :’)
What would happen if you used your oven in your kitchen instead of a kiln?
nothing because an oven can’t get hot enough to properly cure ceramics. kilns get up to 2000 degrees fahrenheit and more
That studio sounds like a complete rip off…only 4 hrs a week!? Crazy
Congratulations on your new studio. Question: Why do you refer to your husband as partner?
ty!! short answer: i view the terms as interchangeable. long answer: as a queer person i think it’s important to normalize the word so when people in queer relationships use it it isn’t outing them :)
@@palomathepeach As a Christian, I believe that a true marriage is between a man and a woman. We have completely different views on the subject. It’s unnatural to normalize something that in Gods eye is wicked. I honor my husband by respect him with that title. Nevertheless, thank you for your honest feedback.
@@familyunity70 BOOOOOO!! Tomato tomato
@@dixiealfrey Why because I think differently? Aren’t we all entitled to our own opinion? I disagree and I’m not changing my mind and that’s okay.
@@familyunity70 that was my form of being entitled to my own opinion as well. I never asked for you to change your mind, I was also just making my own personal statement about your comment LOL
