Finding the Motivation to Start; What You’ll Discover at the Other End.
The most pivotal point in an artist's life is when they decide to make their art a priority in life. Being a full-time artist is not a feasible job for the average person, and unfortunately, there’s still a societal stigma against being a full-time artist. This can prevent artists from investing in their craft because art is typically thought of as something that can be done in between “more important” things. I beg to differ, however, as hobbies outside of official work benefit the quality of life of those who participate.
The presence of art is unavoidable regardless of the circumstance; humans are essentially surrounded by it on a daily basis. A majority of the time, it’s in passing, such as a design in the tile underfoot, advertisement art on a website pop-up, or a random vase you’ve never noticed in your house. These things are all art in their own respect, but we don’t necessarily notice or consciously view it the same as something we would view in a museum. We use it and see it every day, yet we hesitate to invest time in our own process of creating.
By taking the first step and investing in your own creative outlet, you are investing in yourself. Art takes labor, and labor has always created value. There are, and always will be, multiple avenues from which to profit off your art if you choose, even if it’s not monetarily. Other benefits can be a sense of pride or overall mental wellness; simply having some form of stability and structure in your life. Additionally, there are multiple practical uses for art in everyday life, especially ceramics because it can take essentially any form you assign it.
Where There's Labor…
There’s going to be money tied into the efforts of your labor, but the difficulty becomes finding the need for your craft. A lump of clay does not become an eye-pleasing, durable, and usable piece without someone’s skilled hands taking time and resources to make it. The information that you have learned about your craft and the time you’ve put into your pieces add value. Something that is handmade, especially if it’s commissioned, is worth far more than something that is mass-manufactured.
Your art is already projected to grow in value; Yahoo! Finance posted in their online article, “Ceramics Market is Forecasted to Reach US$ 240 Billion Valuation by 2034: Fact.MR Study,” that “The global Ceramics Market is estimated to reach a value of US$ 133.7 billion in 2024 and expand at a 6% CAGR over the next ten years (2024 to 2034)” (Yahoo!), later citing one of the reasons as “…the high popularity of ceramic art pieces…” (Yahoo!). Therefore, there is money to be had within the ceramics industry if monetary gain or becoming a full-time ceramicist is something you would like to pursue.
Sometimes, you get the opportunity to achieve both monetary gains and emotional fulfillment from your ceramics pieces. This is the case for Blayze Buseth, a ceramics artist in Fergus Falls who founded a ceramics business after graduating high school. The newsletter “Studio opens in western Fergus Falls” details Buseth’s inspiration for opening his business: “...he made an urn for a friend whose mother had passed.” (Meier) His story highlights the importance of art as a mechanism to memorialize people and its relationship with the grieving process. In the newsletter, Buseth further elaborated: “This is something that can be set on their mantle and be passed down from generation to generation” (Meier).
While Blayze Buseth may not be who is remembered when people look at the pieces he’s made, he is still ultimately their creator. By this logic, any artist who creates something holds the possibility of sharing that gift in whatever way they want. The emotional satisfaction that is present when you see a piece that you have admired for so long being appreciated by someone else is incomprehensible.
If Not Money, What?
More than just money can be gained from enjoying your hobby; most of the time, there's an emotional need that is satisfied when a piece is finished. The ceramics process is hard, and there’s a chance of failure at every step. This difficulty and attention to detail required make it all the more rewarding when you successfully create a piece. An article that discusses the association between having a hobby and mental health, written by Daisy Fancourt, a professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London, reflected: “Meta-analytic fixed-effects findings showed that having a hobby was associated with fewer depressive symptoms, and higher levels of self-reported health, happiness, and life satisfaction” (Fancourt). Therefore, as much as we enjoy being lazy and sleeping in, humans thrive off participating in physically and mentally engaging activities.
Ceramics can teach many lessons in spirituality, overall mental wellness, and even just being able to use your hands to physically make something. Seth Rogen, actor, comedian, and ceramicist, in his casual chat with Interview Magazine put it in his own perspective, stating: “...work I do is very intangible in a lot of ways, so being able to create something you can hold in your hands is very appealing.” (Williams) Being able to hold or admire something that you’ve made in ceramics makes it difficult not to appreciate or celebrate because it is quite literally a quantifiable weight and feel to the success.
There is something oddly satisfying and rewarding in even the tedious duties of having a functional studio. I’ve grown a particular appreciation for the clay recycling process and wedging stiff clay back into a workable consistency. Initially, it seems impossible; everything's a crumbling mess under your already-aching hands, and you debate whether or not you should just abandon the clay entirely until you finally feel some give. The stability of the rhythm of the clay underneath your hands slowly melting everything else you may have been worried about away. I have grown to particularly appreciate the cyclic activities present within this art form because they allow for moments of pausing and reflecting. I believe that these moments of reflection are often neglected in everyday life, which is just one reason why I’ve decided to implement ceramics into my everyday life.
These procedural steps that have to be taken along the process of creating art have been used by artists for generations, and they are part of the reason why a studio provides a sense of stability. Since creating my own, I’ve noticed that whenever I walk into my studio, I always know exactly what steps to take, almost as if it’s a mapped-out dance. There’s no randomly forgetting as soon as I walk in, or “where did I place this?”; it is all consistent and set in stone. This stability was studied in the online article “Opening Art Therapy Thresholds: Mechanisms That Influence Change in the Community Art Therapy Studio,” in which it states: “the people and actions within the space changed, but the studio remained constant” (Nolan). There will always be changes occurring in your life outside of your studio, and most of the time, you’ll have no control over the outcomes.
Most people, particularly college students like me, struggle with time management issues, which, in the long run, can be detrimental to all aspects of life and ultimately can cause excess stress. Having your own studio space and creating your own ceramics provides you with the ultimate say in what you create while having a stable routine in place to create a successful piece. Under the “Results” subtitle of the article “Opening Art Therapy Thresholds: Mechanisms That Influence Change in the Community Art Therapy Studio,” author Emily Nolan provides an explanation for the description of the results that they gained from the study: “From this description, change…in community art therapy studios is influenced by the safety and structure within the studio, acceptance of self, others and artwork; and opportunity to explore, attend to self-care, be authentic, and find a new perspective…” (Nolan). Therefore, not only does the structure and stability reduce stress and improve mental wellness, it encourages healthy growth in the creativity of artists.
Why there is No “Right Time”
A majority of people make the mistake of waiting for the “right time” to do something. Life is constantly changing, and certain priorities take precedence, but there really is no better time than right now. From the first time that I sat at a potter's wheel, I knew I’d eventually have to invest in one myself. The want to create an art space is no hard thing to find, but the courage and funds to do so are.
Space and time seem to be of no consequence when you begin to notice the benefits of investing in yourself after using a shared space. No more cleaning other people's messes, worrying about clay vultures, having to use the communal slip bucket (with lizard tails and mosquito larvae), or readjusting machinery. The extra time that I spend tending to my own studio is time that I would’ve otherwise spent on something likely less rewarding, like scrolling on my phone. I identify heavily with what Seth Rogen says in his interview when asked about what prompted him to make his own at-home studio, he stated: “I identify as a lazy person in many ways, but then I slowly came to terms with the fact that I actually enjoy doing things and that I find it more relaxing to actually create more things and find more outlets of expression.” (Williams) Therefore, once you start the process of creating, it doesn’t stop because every time you’re not in front of the wheel, you’ll begin to think about what you’re going to create next. Working with ceramics is a never-ending self-motivating process that simply requires a little push at the beginning to cascade into a rewarding experience.
The process of building your own studio can be quite daunting at first because of the steep prices of equipment. Space is another relevant factor to take into account, but as Soul Ceramics states in their article: “Any space in which you can comfortably and safely work from can become your pottery studio, whether that’s a spare room in your house, the basement, the garage, or even the attic.” (Soul Ceramics) Use the space you have available to you in order to safely make your pieces; you know what tools you need to succeed (or you should at least have an idea). The previously mentioned article further elaborates: “When it comes to equipment, it really depends on the kind of pieces you will be creating and the techniques you use to create your art.” (Soul Ceramics) Which essentially means all of my hand-builder folks, congratulations! You’ve won the “spending the least money as a ceramicist” award (for equipment at least). Meanwhile, my fellow wheel throwers and slab rollers have to bite the bullet and invest in reliable heavy machinery. This investment, however, comes with a bounty of rewards.
This is the part where we put our thinking caps on; what issues will you face? What external resources can you seek out to make your goal more achievable? How can you budget or plan to earn extra money to fuel your project? Furthermore, are you planning on making it back? Even if all you do today is browse through Facebook Marketplace looking for second-hand gear, you are taking one step closer to unlocking your creative potential and creating a studio tailored towards you.

Taiwan's strongest earthquake in nearly 25 years damages buildings, leaving 4 dead
Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, damaging buildings and highways and causing the deaths of four people.
Taiwan's national fire agency said four people died in Hualien County and at least 57 were injured in the quake that struck just before 8 am. The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park near the offshore epicentre.
A five-storey building in Hualien appeared heavily damaged, collapsing its first floor and leaving the rest leaning at a 45-degree angle. In the capital Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings and in some newer office complexes, while debris fell from some building sites. Schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets. Some also covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued.
Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in Taipei, where a newly constructed above-ground line partially separated. The national legislature, a converted school built before World War II, also had damage to walls and ceilings.
Traffic along the east coast was at a virtual standstill, with landslides and falling debris hitting tunnels and highways in the mountainous region. Those caused damage to vehicles, though it wasn't clear if anyone was hurt.
Despite the quake striking at the height of the morning rush hour just before 8 am, the initial panic faded quickly on the island, which is regularly rocked by temblors and prepares for them with drills at schools and notices issued via public media and mobile phone.
Authorities said they had only expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts.
Still, the earthquake was strong enough to scare people who are used to such shaking.
“Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and I've grown accustomed to them. But today was the first time I was scared to tears by an earthquake,” Taipei resident Hsien-hsuen Keng said. ”I was awakened by the earthquake. I had never felt such intense shaking before.”
She said her fifth-floor apartment shook so hard that “apart from earthquake drills in elementary school, this was the first time I had experienced such a situation.”
Hualien was last struck by a deadly quake in 2018, which collapsed a historic hotel and other buildings. Taiwan's worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7, causing 2,400 deaths, injuring around 100,000 and destroying thousands of buildings.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami wave of 30 centimetres (about 1 foot) was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck. Smaller waves were measured in Ishigaki and Miyako islands. Japan sent military aircraft to gather information about the impact around the Okinawa region.
Taiwan's earthquake monitoring agency gave the magnitude as 7.2 while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometres (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometres (21 miles) deep. Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometres (7 miles) deep. Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.
The earthquake was felt in Shanghai and several provinces along China's southeastern coast, according to Chinese media. China and Taiwan are about 160 kilometres (100 miles) apart. China issued no tsunami warnings for the Chinese mainland.
Residents of China's Fujian province reported violent shaking, according to Jimu News, an online outlet. One man told Jimu that the shaking awakened him and lasted about a minute.
In the Philippines, residents along the northern coast were told to evacuate to higher ground, but no major tsunami was reported about three hours after the quake.
Villagers in the provinces of Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte and Isabela were asked not to return to their homes until the tsunami alert was lifted, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology Teresito Bacolcol said.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said there has been no report of injury or damage in Japan. He urged the residents in the Okinawa region to stay on high ground until all tsunami advisories are lifted. He cautioned people against disinformation and urged them to stay calm and assist others.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami threat to Hawaii or the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam. About three hours after the earthquake, it said the threat had largely passed for all areas with waves being reported only in Taiwan and southern Japan.
Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire," the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.

Factors to Consider When Buying Floor Sweepers for Sale

Surface Compatibility: Ensure the sweeper is designed for your flooring material, whether concrete, tile, or another surface type.
Dust Control: Look for models with advanced dust collection systems to improve air quality and reduce the risk of respiratory issues for workers.
Power Source: Choose between battery-powered, gas-powered, or corded sweepers depending on the availability of power outlets and your facility's operational needs.
Maintenance Requirements: Opt for equipment that is easy to maintain to reduce downtime and operational costs.
The Advantages of Combining Sweepers and Scrubbers
Using a combination of floor sweepers and scrubbers enhances cleaning efficiency. Sweepers remove loose debris, while scrubbers tackle stains, spills, and embedded grime. For businesses with large or heavily soiled areas, this duo ensures thorough cleanliness, improving safety and aesthetics.
Where to Find Reliable Equipment

How to Safely Transport and Set Up Gym Equipment Bought at Auction
Purchasing gym equipment at auction can be a cost-effective way to outfit a fitness space, whether you’re creating a personal gym or upgrading a commercial facility. However, items bought through gym liquidation sales often require careful handling to ensure they are safely transported and set up without damage or injury. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you move your equipment from the auction floor to your gym space with ease.
Assess the Equipment Before the Transport
When participating in gym liquidation sales, inspect the equipment thoroughly before purchase. Look for signs of wear and tear, loose parts, or structural damage. Knowing the condition will help you plan the safest way to transport and set up the items. Pay special attention to larger machines, such as treadmills and weight stacks, which may require partial disassembly for safe handling.
Gather the Right Tools and Supplies
Transporting gym equipment isn’t a task to improvise. Ensure you have the following:
Dollies and Hand Trucks: Ideal for heavy or bulky items like treadmills and ellipticals.
Furniture Sliders: Help move items across floors without scratching or damaging surfaces.
Moving Blankets and Straps: Protect delicate parts from scratches and secure items in place during transit.
Tool Kit: Includes wrenches, screwdrivers, and Allen keys for disassembly and reassembly.
Disassemble When Necessary
Large gym machines are often easier and safer to move when partially disassembled. Remove weights, detachable arms, or screens. Keep small parts like bolts, screws, and washers organized in labeled bags to avoid misplacement during reassembly. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual or look online for instructions if needed.
Use Professional Moving Services for Larger Equipment
Items like squat racks, cable machines, or heavy treadmills can weigh hundreds of pounds. For these, hiring a professional moving service familiar with fitness equipment can save time and prevent accidents. Many moving companies also provide insurance coverage in case of damage during transit.
Ensure Safe Loading and Transport
Loading the equipment onto a truck or van requires care:
Use a ramp for heavy items instead of lifting them, which can lead to injuries.
Secure all equipment with straps to prevent shifting during transport.
Avoid stacking heavy items on top of smaller, delicate ones.
Plan Your Gym Layout Before Arrival
Before unloading the equipment, plan the layout of your gym space. Consider the following:
Space Requirements: Leave enough room for movement and safety zones around machines.
Flooring: Ensure the flooring can handle the weight, especially for heavy-duty equipment like weight racks. Rubber mats or interlocking gym tiles are ideal.
Power Outlets: Position cardio machines like treadmills near power sources.
Reassemble with Care
Once you’ve transported the equipment, follow the manufacturer’s assembly instructions closely. Use the labeled parts from earlier disassembly to avoid mistakes. Test each machine after reassembly to ensure it functions properly.
Prioritize Safety During Setup
Anchor Heavy Equipment: Machines like power racks and cable systems should be anchored to the floor or walls to prevent tipping.
Inspect for Damage: Check for any dents, misalignments, or malfunctioning parts caused during transit. Replace worn-out cables, grips, or other components before use.
Regular Maintenance After Setup
After your equipment is installed, commit to regular maintenance to extend its lifespan. Clean and lubricate moving parts, tighten bolts periodically, and check for wear and tear. This is especially important for items purchased through gym liquidation sales, as they may have already seen significant use.
Final Thoughts
Buying gym equipment from gym liquidation sales can be a smart investment, but transporting and setting it up requires proper planning and attention to detail. By using the right tools, enlisting professional help for heavy items, and prioritizing safety, you can ensure your equipment remains in top condition and ready to support your fitness goals.

National Onion Ring Day
Crisp, fried, a bit sweet—onion rings are the fancy cousin of the French fry. Have a taste-test with various dipping sauces, or get samples from different places.
They’re rich and crisp and delicious, surprisingly sweet for a flavor so often related to being spicy and the source of tears. But something about the process of breading them in a flavorful coating and deep-frying them in a vat of oil brings out the delicious flavors hidden inside. They come in towers and flowers, giant-sized and tiny, and they’re a favorite at burger joints all over the world. That’s right, we’re talking about the onion rings, and National Onion Ring Day celebrates this delicious treat and its long history.
History of National Onion Ring Day
The origin of the onion rings is actually somewhat mysterious, but we do know that in 1802 a recipe was published in ”The Art of Cookery Made Easy and Refined.” This recipe describes a process of dipping ½” onion rings dipped into a rather flavorful mixture of flour with creams and cheeses and then boiling them in a vat of lard. Following on the heels of this was a suggestion to serve it with a sauce made of a mixture of mustard and butter.
Since then, there have been many refinements of the onion rings recipe, with a great debate existing on the proper method and what brings out the best flavor. There are hundreds of recipes involving different mixtures of batter to coat them in, different sauces to dip them in, and even the type of onions you use to prepare them.
As if that wasn’t complicated enough, there’s even a variety of onion rings that are made from an onion paste formed into a circle instead of an actual slice of onion. If you’ve ever enjoyed these delicious treats, then National Onion Ring Day provides you with an excuse to go to your favorite source and consume onion rings until you burst.
Onion rings aren’t just an invention of the western world. There’s also evidence that people experimented with the idea of covering strips of onion with batter and deep-frying them in developing countries too. In India, for instance, merchants would often sell fried, battered onion strips as street food – a quick snack that people could munch on the go.
As we discussed, historians have found examples of onion ring-like recipes that date back as far as 1802. With that said, there are restaurants in operation today that claim to be the originators of the idea.
Kirby’s Pig Stand – the famous historical restaurant chain – claims to have battered and served up the first official onion rings as far back as the 1920s. The restaurant’s location in Dallas, TX, was the first in the world to offer a drive-in service where people could collect food from the convenience of their vehicles.
In many ways, the outlet was the progenitor to the modern fast-food restaurant. The roof was red-tiled and pagoda-like in appearance, and the outer walls made heavy use of stucco to brighten the exterior. Over the years, the company built many more outlets, but eventually, chains like McDonald’s and Taco Bell bought them up. In 2006, the company went bankrupt, and the last restaurant closed.
How to celebrate National Onion Ring Day
National Onion Ring Day is your opportunity to get out there and enjoy your favorite deep-fried savory treat. They’re simple to make at home, and while a deep fryer is great, it isn’t essential in their preparation. There are even baked Onion Rings if you decide to go that way, but nothing beats the original. Just heat up a pan of oil until a small drop of batter starts to sizzle when dropped in, and then carefully submerge your coated Onion Rings one by one and cook until a golden brown. There are dozens of recipes online that you can try, and even more recipes for sauces to serve them with.
If making onion rings isn’t your idea of fun, but you like eating them, then you can head out to any one of the dozens of restaurant chains that serves them as part of their daily menu. While many fast-food chains offer onion rings, the best examples come from independent restaurants with proprietary recipes. It’s highly likely that you have at least one of these in your area, serving up rings in the traditional style. Look for local diners with a long history and experienced management. Family businesses tend to be the best.
Some people really don’t like onions. Many won’t go near them, even if they’re covered in batter and deep-fried, but that’s okay. You don’t have to eat onion rings, though, to celebrate National Onion Ring Day – you can branch out. Remember, onion rings were the inspiration for many of the fried snacks and sides that we enjoy today. French fries, deep-fried brie, and fried chicken are all delicious alternatives that you can try if you fancy something different.
There are so many reasons to celebrate National Onion Ring Day. Onion rings are one of the most popular snacks and have become a staple in many parts of the world. They’re a bit like French fries, but taste even more special and delicious in some cases. You can dip them, dunk them, and eat them alongside all your favorite sandwiches and hamburgers. You can even lay them out at a buffet at parties. They’re so flexible!
Onion rings are also instructive for people looking for culinary inspiration. John Mollard – the man behind the 1802 recipe – was a genius. It took the world more than a hundred years to catch up to his vision of the perfect snack. Could you come up with a new recipe that is way ahead of its time?
Happy National Onion Ring Day!

Kitchen Remodeling in Las Vegas: Get Ready to Transform Your Home
Las Vegas, known for its vibrant lifestyle and ever-evolving landscape, offers ample opportunities to reinvent and revitalize living spaces, particularly the kitchen. Kitchen remodeling in Las Vegas can transform a mundane and functional area into a stunning centerpiece of your home, reflecting both utility and your style. This article explores key considerations and steps to take when planning a kitchen remodel in this bustling city.
1. Define Your Vision
The first step in any successful kitchen remodel is to clearly define your vision. Consider how you use your kitchen and what changes can enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Do you need more space for entertaining? Are you looking for a modern, high-tech kitchen, or a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere? Establishing a clear vision will guide your decisions throughout the remodeling process.
2. Set a Budget
Before diving into the remodel, set a realistic budget. Kitchen renovations can vary widely in cost, influenced by factors like the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials chosen, and whether you’re rearranging the layout. Las Vegas offers a range of options from luxury fittings to more budget-conscious choices. Setting a budget upfront will help you make decisions and avoid overspending.
3. Choose the Right Contractor
Selecting the right contractor is crucial. Look for licensed, insured, and well-reviewed professionals with experience with Las Vegas kitchen remodels. Consider asking for referrals from friends or family or reading reviews online. Schedule consultations with several contractors to discuss your vision and budget, and see who you connect with the most regarding understanding your goals and offering practical solutions.
4. Design Your Layout
The layout is the heart of the kitchen’s functionality. Work with your contractor to design a layout that maximizes space, improves flow, and enhances usability. Popular layouts include the L-shaped, U-shaped, or galley kitchens. Consider the ‘work triangle’—the path between your sink, stove, and refrigerator—to ensure a practical workflow.
5. Select Materials and Appliances
Choosing the right materials and appliances is pivotal in achieving your desired look and functionality. In Las Vegas, where style tends to be a statement, consider materials that also stand up to the test of time, such as quartz countertops, hardwood or tile flooring, and high-grade fixtures. Select energy-efficient appliances to reduce energy costs, keeping in mind that Nevada's climate may influence your choices, especially regarding ventilation and refrigeration.
6. Focus on Lighting
Good lighting is essential in a kitchen. It enhances the mood, makes cooking and cleaning easier, and can transform the room's appearance. Incorporate a combination of general, task, and accent lighting to create a warm and inviting space. Pendant lights over an island or under-cabinet lights can add both functionality and style.
7. Incorporate Smart Technology
Smart home technology can add convenience and modernity to your Las Vegas kitchen remodel. Consider smart refrigerators that can help track your groceries, automated coffee makers, or a smart oven that you can control from your phone. Simple technologies like USB outlets or a central station for controlling lights and music can make a significant difference.
8. Add Personal Touches
Finally, personalize your new kitchen with elements that reflect your personality and style. Whether it’s a bold backsplash, unique kitchen hardware, or decorative pieces that tell a story, these touches will make the space yours.
Conclusion
Remodeling your kitchen in Las Vegas offers a fantastic opportunity to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic of your home. With careful planning, a clear vision, and the right team, your kitchen can be transformed into a space that meets your needs and adds value to your home and joy to your daily life. Dive into the project confidently, knowing that the result will be worth the effort.
