Book Reviews of Where Women Create: Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women

Book Review: The places where women love to create ART
Summary: 5 Stars

If you were to look through this book (eg: see the Contents page) , you will certainly recognize many famous (modern) Artists (eg: "Suze"---the stamp lady). It is so much fun to see how all these famous Artists have decorated and organized their workspaces (or Arts and Craft rooms). Their personalities really show through!

Many ideas will inspire a regular person to go ahead and try to either re-decorate their Art room , or to maybe transform an extra room in theri home into an Arts and Craft Room (that`s what I did).

As stated in my title..."Sigh, I love this book!" ....It is so much fun to see how other Artists have chosen to modify their workspaces. The large, bright, and colorful photos in this book will surely please all, and hopefully inspire (as they did me!)....

P.S.: If the ideas in this book are a bit too "feminine" or too "country" for you, then you may want to check out this other book called this: "Artists' Interiors: Creative Spaces, Inspired Living" (by Laurie Dickson).

Laurie Dickson's book shows homes with a more masculine flavor, and also Laurie's book shows Artists' homes with a more Contemporary look to them.

Summary of Where Women Create: Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women

More than twenty superstars from the world of crafting--including Anna Corba, April Cornell, Sandi Genovese, and Andrea Grossman--offer their expert advice on how to design a work space where creativity can blossom. Like the bestselling Business of Bliss, it's practical, inspirational, and beautiful to behold.

Research by Craft Trends Magazine reveals that 89% of all crafters are women, and that they want to work in an environment conducive to creating their art. This invaluable and very special guide helps them achieve that goal, whatever their passion. It goes straight to the experts: successful women who have made their mark in more than 10 different creative fields. These top designers and artisans offer insights gleaned from years of experience, reveal how they constructed their own creative spaces, and explain how the reader can make practical use of these decorating, organizational, and inspirational techniques as they go about designing their own work areas. Among the pertinent questions they answer: Where did you like to work as a child? What's the most important thing about having your own place to work? Are women's creative spaces different from men's? How important is it for you to organize your work, and how do you do it? Do you listen to music when you work--and what kind? The featured designers include Wendy Addison, Dena Fishbein, Jill Schwartz, and Suze Weinberg and their fields range from paper crafts to gardening.
