A local grocery store passed on a slightly banged up bakery rack with about
15 slots that I made shelves for. I nailed together wood frames and stapled
chicken wire to them. They slide in and out and accomodate many types of
projects in our very small art room. We dry prints and paintings on the
shelves and I also slide flat boxes of clay work on these to dry. We also
have one of those wall-mounted drying racks that folds flat to save space
(Nasco $185.00).
