Five creative spaces to inspire

Walk in the shoes of a maker for a day - explore the workspace of five creative souls - by Home Beautiful
  • 25 Aug 2017
Five creative spaces to inspire
Brigid Arnott

Shopfront, studio, workshop, or a converted shed, creative spaces come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the artist's discipline and are wonderful to explore and seek inspiration from. Step inside the world of five makers to see how they work and what surrounds them in order to create.

Shady Fig florist

Brigid Arnott

Who: Michelle Collison's Shady Fig  

What: Flower shop

Where: New South Wales towns of Berry and Nowra

Why: Both of Michelle's shops are filled fragrant blooms and lush leaves, together with all the things Michelle loves.

We love: Timber work benches and natural twine for tying bunches, hanging jars, wrapping presents.

Grace Wood's studio

Brigid Arnott

Who: Grace Wood

What: Wool artist

Where: Blue Mountains, west of Sydney

Why: Woolly fleeces, soft heavenly mounds of natural wool in every state - raw fleece, dye bath, thick fibres. The gentle rhythm and awe-inspiring setting of the Blue Mountains.

We love: The myriad shapes and colours Grace creates with felted Australian merino wool from her family's farm.

More inspiration: Grace Wood's tactile world

Artist Hannah Fox's studio

Jessica Reftel Evans

Who: Hannah Fox

What: Painter

Where: At the bottom of the garden in her Melbourne home

Why: A secret artist's world exists away from the Hannah's home but close enough for a healthy work/life/creative balance

We love: The paint splatters on Hannah's shoes, her incredible landscapes, the presence of flowers as subjects in her studio, solitude in the city.

More inspiration: The Art of Colour
