What does my studio work space look like?

Written By Kim Joy

My studio is divided up into sections. My stained glass area is the largest and the pmc, metalsmithing and jewelry area are together.

Sometimes it is great having all areas together but other times it is very distracting- too much to choose from. I can have multiple stained glass projects going all at once with my large workbench. That stained glass workbench has been in my studio at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, VA, my house studio in Wooodbridge, VA, in my storefront Art Happens on Tarboro in Historic Downtown Wilson, NC and now at my home studio in Wilson, NC.

.The jewelry work areas cover a lot of opportunities to create as well. The grey workbench was a watch makers work bench 50 years ago. Wonder what stories it would tell?

If you have a studio work area what does it look like?
