I am so fortunate to have a wonderful studio in the garden of our property.  I was helped with the design by my sister Annie, she had some very good suggestions about where to place things and especially to make sure that my work surface was against a big south facing window.  My studio is about 6 x 6 meters with a small gallery as you enter the door. During covid lockdown I can be found here every day otherwise I spend 4 days of the week in Printmaking Sisters Shop/Gallery at The SHAC in Robertson NSW.   
I have plenty of room to work with a very large press in the centre, the layout works well for printmaking and painting.
I have plenty of bench space for all of the other printmaking paraphernalia.  It is very peaceful here very rarely any cars or people around I can watch the birds and the seasons go by.

Can't live without...
​I think the first thing that comes to mind is the guillotine, I use it to cut plate, paper and rags - much easier than using scissors.
I feel contented when there is plenty of paper, inks and paints to play with.  
The one thing I can live without is the very large huntsman that has been overwintering here, he keeps watching me!

Oh, it's a spider! I had to look it up. Here in Canada, a huntsman is just that: usually big and two-legged...
We're right now losing out leaves, and heading into winter, though it has been a lovely fall. And we were startled awake last full moon when a wolf howled very near our isolated cabin (at the edge of a forest beside a lake.) We won't be going to the cabin for a couple of week now, because of huntsmen: deer hunting season.
Beautiful studio! W.

Hi Wilma
How wonderful to have a cabin in the wilderness by a lake!
As you progress into winter we are slowly returning to summer. So far it has been a wet spring. I live in a semi rural area called The Southern Highlands about two hours south of Sydney. We have rich deep soil and apart from the native rainforests being mostly Sassafras and Blackwood trees, Rhododendron, Camellia and Azalea trees grow very well here. Our garden is a picture with Spring flowers everywhere.
My friendly huntsman has left the studio now and I can enter without worrying about his whereabouts.
Thank you for your comment.

Hi Nancy
When the opportunity arrived to put the huntsman out I did it immediately - I didn’t want a female having hundreds of baby huntsman in my studio.
When it fell of the ceiling onto the floor in front of me as I was walking out the door- I told it it was time to go.
It has been an interesting Winter working in my studio at home with little interruption and now that the Covid restrictions are lifting I am looking forward to reopening our gallery shop in Robertson next weekend.
Thank you for your comments
Robin

    Over the next few months there will be an email come into your box on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
    It will be an artist’s studio.. a sanctuary for a creative.. with a short comment from the artist and things that they could not live without.
    Links will lead you to the workshop page where these creatives will teach for
