Do you have a dedicated studio/artistic space? Yes, but I tend to spill over
Where is it located? In the back of my house between my sewing room and my husbands woodshop (where my oven is) He is reluctant to let me encroach any farther.
Is it a large or small space? Small but I have annexes!
What medium(s) do you work in? Polymer clay, fabric, crochet, beads
Do you have a separate area for each? Just my sewing room which as you can see has PC stuff all over the fold out table
What one word would you use to describe your studio? used
What do you think is the best feature of your studio? Lots of storage spaces. That secret compartment is a space my husband built into the back of the shelves so I can store my large 3 by 4 foot cutting board. It also holds my beading board, a large Olfa grid and other assorted large flat things. He built the room and all the shelves.
What would you change if you could? Better separation of clay and beads, but after ten years I know where everything is
Can you share an organizational tip? Out of sight, out of mind which makes for interesting surprises
Describe the usual state of your work table? Obscured
Does your work table face out into the room or toward the wall? Toward the wall. I tend to stand up when I work and if I use the table in the middle I can face any direction.
What’s one drawback of your studio/artistic space? Not big enough to hold a class
Do you have an idea wall or inspiration board? YES
Do you listen to music in your studio? No, unless my husband has it going in his adjacent office. What kind? I like classical and jazz. Some country. He plays country and oldies
Do you display your own work in your studio? some Other artists’ work? some
What’s one quirk or unusual feature of your studio? Shallow shelves at one end are in an old window space.
