"Your wife will also need storage space for the glazing materials, molds and greenware drying space. I speak from knowledge here as I once lost all the garage space to just such a project."
Oh yeah - I forgot that part. Shelves! Shelves! and more shelves!
And another thing - you said she has molds. Well, I was lucky and my wife never got into the pouring end of the hobby - always bought her greenware from the ceramic shop. But I've seen pouring done and "it ain't pretty". Needs a special pouring table that is supposed to catch all of the overflow of the slip from the molds and re-cycle it. But the pouring areas in the shops I saw were splashed all over with ceramic slip. IMHO, it looks like pouring molds is something that really should be done in a separate room that can be hosed down occasionally.
