How do artists produce exquisite art? The answer is each one must discover and create their own particular working space, harnessing inspiration from the surrounds. Some artistic souls thrive in seeming chaos while others must have an ordered studio about them. This book offers an intriguing and exhilarating peek into the often secretive and off-limits creative spaces of artists. Whether it be photography, painting, ceramics or writing, more than 30 case studies examine how artists have created their unique working environment. The reader will also gain a new understanding of how artists flourish in their own space, and find inspiration from the diverse range of creative work spaces.
