Artists’ Work Benches/Places

Posted on January 8, 2012 by destructivetesting

This is a new ‘Category’ that I would like artists to email me with photos.  Their work spaces.  Mine is at the top of this blog.  Sara (http://www.etsy.com/shop/EarthenMe) sent this link to me:  http://www.ganoksin.com/exhibition/v/BenchExchange/.  Jewelry makers, in particular will be interested in this one.  Send your photos to me at mfsmith46@gmail.com.   thanks,  Mike
