As any follower of this blog is aware, Lowell Hill Pottery
has been operating in the former Rowantrees facility since inception.
It was always clear that this arrangement would not be permanent, but
with this season came word that I will need to relocate by the end of
next season.
This is not a bad thing. Plans have been
hanging about on the sidelines since the beginning, but now they need to
shift into high gear. I will be measuring out the land next to my house
on Lowell Hill (the namesake of my fledgling enterprise) to see how
large a building it can accommodate. Then I'll talk to the folks at Efficiency Maine
to see what sorts of idea they have regarding the most efficient
designs. I want a building that is as inexpensive to operate as I can
get it, and since I will be starting from scratch, this is the time to
start making that happen. Once all that is done, it will be time to talk
to contractors to see what they think the costs will be.
Then it's time to talk financing. Gulp...
This
is going to happen. And you can follow the whole story right here. I'll
be giving you blow by blow accounts of the building project and posting
pictures as often as possible.
This is an exciting
time for Lowell Hill Pottery. And I will do all I can to bring it to
reality. I've come this far and hope you will join me on the ride ahead.
