Our Ceramics Workshop in a Mobile Home
That light emanating from the upper left corner of the photo isn't from a window. It's a fluorescent light fixture on it's side that I was using to grow plants with. If you look, you'll see a coffee table on a coffee table, and on the edge is "Little Plantie" (which grew in my wife's attic apartment before we were married), and Little Plantie's babies growing on the lower coffee table in peat flower pots. I mentioned how important it was to have plants in the mobile homes because of carcinogenic sorts of fumes the synthetic materials emit into the air.

Under the map (used to plan photo-shoots) is a stack of ceramic decals hand printed by me using silkscreen, again in my wife's former apartment. The decals were of my original drawings of the Covered Bridges of New Hampshire (click to go there). We fired the images to the ceramic objects seen in the background using the Mother's casserole dish (right, with yellow sponge in it...) after wiping the glazed ceramic with alcohol (see alcohol bottle in center of table).
I was working on making my own ceramic objects instead of using commercially prepared ones, see the plastic bag with clay in it in foreground. One of my hand-made mugs can be seen just behind the tile I was using as a sort of pallet which is resting on a commercially prepared mug that I have hand decorated as one of my "Winter Trees" series (click to go there).
