Editorial Reviews

Product Description

More than twenty superstars from the world of crafting--including Anna Corba, April Cornell, Sandi Genovese, and Andrea Grossman--offer their expert advice on how to design a work space where creativity can blossom. Like the bestselling Business of Bliss, it's practical, inspirational, and beautiful to behold.

Research by Craft Trends Magazine reveals that 89% of all crafters are women, and that they want to work in an environment conducive to creating their art. This invaluable and very special guide helps them achieve that goal, whatever their passion. It goes straight to the experts: successful women who have made their mark in more than 10 different creative fields. 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? The featured designers include Wendy Addison, Dena Fishbein, Jill Schwartz, and Suze Weinberg and their fields range from paper crafts to gardening.
A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club & the Homestyle Book Club.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeously photographed, inspiring book provides a rare glimpse into the artists' world..., November 3, 2005
Who would have thought that "visiting" an artist's studio could be so stimulating? Where Women Create provides a rare glimpse into the creative spaces of 26 artists, including such notables as Anna Corba, Jill Schwartz, Debbee Thibault, Suze Weinberg, and Kitty Bartholomew.
Step into the working world of Wendy Addison, whose light-filled studio is like an upscale boutique full of vintage treasures; or enter Susan Alexander's creative, delightfully messy environment of antique cabinets and tabletops covered with fabrics, fibers, works-in-progress, and other treats. Kitty Bartholomew's studio is a warm, home-like environment; while Cheri Ellis works in a space with so much color, it fairly vibrates with energy.
In this beautifully photographed book, you'll meet the artists, see their studios, and dream of making your own creative space-come-true.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, but it may just be a matter of taste, July 16, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this book because I'm designing an expanded studio space for painting and collage, but found it disappointing. I cringed at some of the crafts and art featured in the book; a lot of it is cutesy, and just not to my taste. The studios also seem overdecorated, but again, that's just my personal taste. I like a studio space that's more modern and functional, with lots of clear space, so most of the studios featured in the book seem cluttered and "frilly" to me. Other reviews here attest to the fact that many people love them, so just take this as a warning if you prefer a modern, functional look. In that case, I recommend Dream Sewing Spaces, by Lynette Ranney Black (with lots of ideas for any art or craft medium), as well as Setting Up Shop, by Sandor Nagyszalanczy. I found both these books inspiring and practical.

4.0 out of 5 stars DEFINITELY ENOUGH TO INSPIRE!, October 25, 2005
By mediaagent "mediaagent" (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed this book because it encites me to find or carve out my own creative space. While I agree with the other reviewer;(Many of the artist's did not seem to own a computer I only noticed one), I have to state that my senses were awakened with the possibility of what kind of work space can be created. That alone was enough for me to enjoy this book. Not to mention the colors these women choose for their areas are fabulous.

So if you can get past the fact that this looks like it came straight out of Mary Englebright's Home Companion (I think that's the name of the magazine), you should enjoy this book.
