Often, when I read other peoples blogs, I get pangs of
studio envy. Some of you artists out
there have lovely spaces in which to create.
My own studio set up is a bit haphazard. When I am in my ‘work’ home (my home from
home but actually where I spend most of my time) I do have a back room which I
use to store materials etc. It is not
very conducive to actually work in, though lately I have made an effort.
When I am in my ‘home’ home, I have to make do with the kitchen table,
when I can get access. This is both
frustrating, as others also have claim to the kitchen table, and again not conducive
to work. I like to be on my own when
working.
All of this has been exacerbated by the recent spate of open
studios and art weeks where people seem to have submitted endless pictures of
the most glorious working environments from garden sheds to whole rooms.
But this must be the ultimate in studio envy – a historic
courtyard, or patio, in Cordoba. Cool to
work in, but open to the elements. And
surrounded by historic inspiration.

The studios are on the left and open onto this balcony. |
Here is the patio. The balcony runs on two sides and I am photographing this from the potters wheel. It was hot!! |
