The Back Room had been used for printing decals (image transfers) until the fire in January 2023
The Printer Room
This photo that looks into the printer room from the main entrance provided a taste of the challenge that lay ahead. The blackness on the left is the broken glass wall and entrance to what used to be the kiln room.
Minimal Damage
No one entered the studio which remained unheated the entire winter. So it was rather surprising to discover that damage to the printer room was minimal. Even the smoke damage was limited.
Decal Printers Damaged
The most serious damage was to the colour laser decal printers. Two were made inoperable by the soot.
Months of Waiting
It wasn't until May until the Insurance company decided it could only fund $5000 of the loss because selling pots at the Guild sales and firing for others during COVID meant I should have had "commercial" insurance.
