These top designers and artisans offer insights gleaned from years of experience, reveal how they constructed their own creative spaces, and explain how the reader can make practical use of these decorating, organizational, and inspirational techniques as they go about designing their own work areas. Among the pertinent questions they answer: Where did you like to work as a child? What's the most important thing about having your own place to work? Are women's creative spaces different from men's? How important is it for you to organize your work, and how do you do it? Do you listen to music when you work--and what kind?

This is a great book. I love the pictures and have actually called one of the artist to order one of her creations. It would be a much better book if the author would have included a resource guide as to where to purchase the organizing units that the women use to create their working envirnoments.

This is a good book with beautiful pictures of craft spaces. I ordered in the hopes of getting ideas & inspiration for my craft space, but got none.

This is an agreeable book, but I found Organizing Your Craft Space by the same author much better and more useful. Much material is duplicated - you really don't need both books.

I can't say how many times I have gone back to this book for ideas and inspiration! It was such a great reference when I set up my own small retail/work studio. I also enjoyed reading about the successful women business owners who create in these beautiful spaces.
