When working with polymer clay, it’s wonderful to have your own dedicated workspace. For many, it’s the corner of a bedroom or dining room. Others have dedicated rooms or even spaces outside the home. There are common features in all studios, such as storage, a work area, and meaningful decor. We can learn a lot by exploring the solutions that others have found for these common challenges. Here are some workspaces and polymer clay studios that fellow makers have shared on social media. Enjoy!
