Recently there have been a lot of people around me talking about work environments, from Craft 2.0 to WomanzWorld.com, and it has made me think a bit about my own way of working. Many craft fairs want to know where I work and what I do, so I thought I might cover it here. My most important creative space is inside my head. I am constantly working on something, no matter where I am or what else I am doing, which means I never get a chance to get bored! At home, I usually commandeer the lounge table and make batches of jewellery in front of the TV. There are two rooms of my house dedicated to my crafts, too - I have one room where I store my stock and my 'ingredients', and then there's the office, where I work on the PC and keep the printers essential to getting a high quality image for my work. The great thing about what I do is how little physical space it takes up when I'm actually doing it, though - I only need a flat space to put the curing items onto, and the rest I can really do on my lap or on the arm of the couch. The great thing about doing the artwork myself is that I can do it anywhere - at work before and after I start, in a cafe with the Crafty Foxes group, sitting in bed with my laptop... There, now you know - although I'd love a studio so that I can work on my painting, and a workshop where I can build more displays and work on the soldering work I would like to expand, and a sewing room to make my market costumes and displays, all I really need is somewhere to sit and about a square metre of table.
