Studio Design

Visited a local artist who just recently designed and constructed her own studio. Took note of what we needed to consider when designing a space for an artist.

WORK SPACE

Adequate work surface

• May be working on multiple pieces at one time

Space for special equipment

Drying area

Bin to deposit waste

Easy to clean studio

STORAGE

Supplies

• Does client want to be able to see all supplies?
• What kind of storage does the client want and need?

Space for finished pieces

LIGHTING

Big windows for medias that can withstand sunlight

Emphasize paintings on showcase

Adequate lighting to be able to see work

White artificial lighting that will not affect colors on pieces
