Lives on Lake Chapala, Mexico Four skylights fill my studio with natural light. Six 12-foot high pin-able walls allow me to make museum-scale work. Two waist-height work tables on wheels enable me to work standing up and they each have built in storage below. The studio is on the second floor of my home, a very short commute!     Can't live without... Sharp scissors Lots of pins Agarwood incense My custom-made work tables Silence and Solitude

My studio is my haven, a converted shed tucked away behind the house in the Brisbane area. Everything that I need and love is at hand. Tatty, chipped cupboards and chest of drawers filled to the brim with old floral fabrics, and endless wooden and metal boxes over flowing with threads, strings, and frayed torn scraps. A truly inspiring space to cocoon and hibernate in.     Can't live without... This calm, tranquil space, surrounded by all that I love.

I’ve had a number of studio spaces over the past 30 years, but my current (and most loved) space is in Strathalbyn, SA. It is on the top floor of our home with a large window looking out over my street and the hills. I am absolutely not a minimalist and like to surround myself with objects and inspiration that I love. My tastes run to darker, more macabre subjects, but I also love quirk and kitsch and fun pieces. am an insatiable reader and most of my art library resides in my studio. As my work ranges over many different media, from sculpture to illustration, I keep a very organised space to avoid the frustration of my days being taken up with sifting through chaos to find the materials I need.        Can't live without... Comfortable work chairs. Books. The beautiful drawing table my husband designed and built for me. My sculpting tools. Music while I’m working. Magnifying light. Our miniature dachshund, Fig, snuggled in her studio bed. Lorell's Fibre Arts workshop details here
Lives in Banora Point, NSW As we recently moved house, l am now in between studio spaces and need to wait until next year when my new studio will be constructed. I’m currently squished into the spare bedroom/rumpus room/office, with the majority of my studio belongings stacked under the stairs. Luckily l remember which box holds what! Regardless of this, l am very fortunate to have access to our beautiful garden with views over the valley and mountains for daily inspiration.        Can't live without.. Access to the garden and surrounding landscape for inspiration with abundant fresh flora. Sunlight for the Cyanotype developing process. A dark room for prepping the paper. My flower press made for me by my husband. Music and coffee as required. Cocoa the poodle – my studio companion. Being able to step outside and connect with nature when l need inspiration or time out to recharge. Caroline's Fibre Arts Workshop details here
Lives in Blewitt Springs, South Australia Well…this is my studio / shed space. It looks like chaos; and indeed it is! Surprisingly I can locate most of the odd objects or tools I have collected; needed to construct unique artworks. I mostly have fun making in this space; which is every day. Currently restoring a 100 year old stable to house “Archer’s Odditorium”     Can't live without.. Lots of morning cups of tea Garage sales and flea markets Michel, my wife to be A glass or two of local wine A glass or two of local beer Nature More time!!

Lives in Southsea, Portsmouth, UK My studio is at the end of my garden. It’s new so I’m still learning how best to use it. It’s a real luxury having lots of natural light. Previous spaces have felt darker. Even though it’s small I love it and I’m lucky to also have access to a large print studio nearby.     Can't live without.. The radio Sink – its plumbed in too ☺ Internet .. soo useful for the Zoom meetings! Large table area Cutting mat .. and many more things too numerous to mention!! Sally's Fibre Arts workshop link
Lives in Trentham, Victoria “Story Costumer”, is an eclectic, ever-changing space in an old, decommissioned post office. I like to knit on top of the PO bench or create costumes in a space that doubles as costume hire, retail premise and place of magical happenings. Today I’m creating a ball gown out of lost toys, tomorrow I might build a pirate ship as a shop fitting.      Can't live without... As a magical seamstress I favour vintage fittings/mannequins, older materials, gleaned string, threads, and unfinished projects which I feature in new pieces. I love floaty antiquity, lace and sheer fabrics, anything to make customers swoon. Baskets! I must have many baskets for projects in various stages. And my big gold scissors.

Lives in Franklin, Tasmania Working in the Huon Valley Tasmania gives me the opportunity to live and work immersed in the natural environment, not only am I blessed with the abundance of trees, leaves and bark, the environment my home, from which I forage provides a wealth of glorious strolls and experiences. I am becoming quite specific knowing favourites where a treasure trove of new and old growth becomes the jewels on the cloth.       Can't live without...
