[Clayart] Heating studio with kiln

[Dragonbelly Ceramics]

A game changer for my comfort in the studio during winter is a heated vest.

My studio is in the basement and it's about 50 degrees. I do have an oil
filled heater - love them - and in addition found if I can keep my core
warm, I'm a lot more comfortable.

It's heated by a rechargeable phone bank battery. I got mine on Amazon.
