Jewelry Studio Setup Ideas

What features would your ideal jewelry studio have?

If we made a list, most of us would say our fantasy jewelry workspace would include

• storage space
• system for organizing supplies and tools
• big workspace
• good lighting
• comfortable seating
• space to leave out projects in progress
• storage for jewelry making books and magazines
• a window with a nice view so we can look up and refocus our eyes frequently
• boom box or MP3 player for our favorite creative music.

And if we really fantasize, we'd also like to have

• jewelry photography area - permanently set up
• utility sink
• computer space
• area dedicated to special equipment (kiln, drill press, clay tools, etc.)
• metalsmithing bench.

A reader named Mary recently asked if I knew of any resources to help her design her new in-home jewelry studio.
