Living deliberately - Our Studio's Future

It’s a lazy and gloomy morning here on the farm. Though, I’ve already accomplished quite a bit, I’ve decided to take an extra couple of minutes to sit back with a cup of tea and just read.

We’ve been in the Catskills for about 4 months and as the cold weather starts to descend I’m finally settling in. Our studio space has been taking shape - the heat is working, the lights are on - but there are still so many nexts to plan and figure out. Like the title suggests I am very much focused on living deliberately but what does that really mean? In the current environmental climate we have the opportunity to define how we live and for us it’s time to act on it. Our first phase was to get up and running to continue our exploration of pottery. Our second phase is to start incorporating more environmentally conscience ways of working, which means that we will be exploring solar energy and ways to recycle water. I’m putting this here as a form of accountability. It may take us sometime to figure these things out as we also grow and expand our farm but the goals are clear.
