Even if it's just a corner of your living room, it's so vitally important to have somewhere. For years I worked at the kitchen table and had to clear stuff away when I was done but it was still a small space where I could make art and in those early days of mothering, it was a lifesaver for me. Having a place to work can really ground us. Just a Plane Ride Away, I’m so glad you’ve managed to create a bit of space for yourself and your art.

It's only been around for about 6 months so it's still fairly new and that's probably why you hadn't seen it before.

I love seeing the different ways that people set up their spaces. Thanks for the kind words about the blog, I'm glad that you enjoy it.

Damp is rarely helpful though.

I moved to the UK nine months ago and have missed the stuido space I had in my home in the US. I have finally carved off a little bit of my own space here and I feel--"aaahhh" so much better. Thanks for the links for Hepworth and Bacon's studios. I, too, like to see where artists work--it's so inspiring. Kirsty, thank you for this post.
