Ceramic Studios, Jumbies and Mermaids!: A Guide To Opening A Home Studio Like Island Screech

Carolyn Frary, a leading designer of tropical island ceramics, attended the Rhode Island School of Design. Having enjoyed working with clay her entire life, Carolyn decided she wanted to focus exclusively on ceramics as her line of work, and that she wanted to work from home. She began the process of opening a home studio during 2011, naming it Island Screech. This short book explains what she learned along the way to setting up that studio, including how to begin with a basic room layout, how to select the right types of equipment, and how to employ the best practices of quality, safety, and compliance. Carolyn also discusses profound knowledge of the creativity process, plus how to sell your artwork. Now that Carolyn is earning a living doing what she enjoys most -- making ceramics, and she want's to share her experience with others. Even though it's less than one-hundred pages, it will help those individuals who want to stay at home to earn money the old fashioned way -- by being creative while hand-making timeless art treasures or useful objects of desire.

Carolyn J. Frary, owner of Island Screech studios, grew up in Massachusetts, then studied art while attending the Rhode Island School of Design. Today, Carolyn produces commissioned work, specializing in custom-made ceramics, including dancing jumbies, mermaids, palm trees, turtles, and any tropical sensation. Carolyn's work is selling worldwide, and a featured line in galleries located on the islands of Saint John and Saint Thomas.
