Where People Create

Where People Create Was created in January, 2010. I was stuck at home sick and had to take the rest of the year off college, I couldn't do too much physically and so came up with the idea of creating 'Where People Create' as a way to keep me sane whilst passing the time.

I have a little bit of addiction, and due to studying Textile Design at college I like to keep on top of the interior threads and I spot lots of ideas of things that inspire me and that I could recreate for my own home. Every month I buy at least one Home Magazine and my Tesco points have gone towards my annual subscription to 'House and Home'

With working in an Art Studio and having a love for Ikea I love to  see new ideas for storage with living in a space that is piling up around me with keeping items and materials for both College and my own work, I feel some day I will be buried alive in my studio. And so I wanted to see how other Artists and Crafters coped, and where they worked and how everything was stored.  And this is where the love for 'Where People Create' was born.

We are always looking for studios, art rooms and craft rooms.  It doesn't matter how big, how small, they are if they are only a box in the corner or a your dining room table we want to see and encourage others that regardless of where you work you can create! We want messy studios, and tidy studios, its up to you, you could send us before and after photos if you want when its untidy and when its not.

But we are always looking for submissions.  To submit we need photos as many or as as few as you want to send in. Also the following questions answered.

• What kind of Art/Crafts do you do?
• Where do you do your art/crafts?
• How do you keep all your supplies organised?
• How do you keep yourself motivated to keep your space tidy?
• Any tips for how to keep art spaces tidy or organised?
• Do you get stressed out when your space gets in a mess?
• If you could have your dream space tomorrow what would it look like?
• Is there any craft you would love to do but cant due to limitations of your art space?
• What is the next big thing on your wish list for your art space?
• Is there a website for people to see or buy your art/crafts?

These should be sent to: amgartstudios@gmail.com

There is a Facebook Page where we try and add on photos of studio space as often as we can, and the links to the blog are added there was well as other interviews and features reading 'Studio Space' and 'Storage'.
