Sometimes I left it all out for a few days at a time, thankfully my family was very understanding. I would have to pack my sewing machine away after each stitching session. I would take over at least half the table with a sewing machine and a pile of threads. I hope that this little peek into my studio experiences will help others who may be interested in this side of an artist’s life or are looking into studio space of their own.įor many years, when I still lived at home with my parents, I worked from their kitchen table. When it comes to a studio space, I believe that any place you feel comfortable and inspired to create is right for you! Each artist is unique and will have different requirements for their ideal studio setup. Nor do I want to suggest that one studio type is better than another. I have not written this post to brag or show off my studios.

Including the pros, cons, and costs of each. In this post, I am sharing my studio journeys with you. The spaces have changed and grown with my business. Each studio change along my journey has often coincided with a significant step in my path as an artist. My studio spaces have grown and changed as I have needed them to. I now live that dream (to a certain degree) and I am very grateful for it.īut, I didn't start with the big studio, I started at the family kitchen table. A creative nest all of my own where I could spend my days making art. When I was a budding artist I dreamed of one day having a big beautiful studio space to work in. It’s my happy place, my sacred creative space.
