DIY Drying Rack

One of the biggest problems that I face with working from home is space. I currently work in a studio in the garden that is 8ft x 5ft and everything is done in this space from printing to bookbinding and having multiple projects on the go can be a challenge in that space. I have looked into different options to create a drying rack in my studio but nothing seemed to look as though it would suit the limited space that I have.

The solution that I came up with was to place a strip of wood that was roughly the depth of my studio and attach some old clothes pegs to it so that the prints can be hung up to dry.

It's not the best looking of things but it works and I am really pleased at how it turned out!

Garden Shed Studio!!

I mentioned in a previous post that I have a new printing space which I have nicknamed the Garden Shed Studio!! It's still a work in progress and I'm still on the hunt for a good storage solutions for all my paints, inks and screens but this is it soo far.

The shed is split into 2 sides the first side is where I prep my screens and do all my printing. On the wall are some halogen lights (500w each, 1000w in total) I use these to 'burn' the screens that I am using, the work tops are just normal everyday kitchen worktops and they can be folded up against the wall (hence why there are hinges at the back).

The other side I use for cutting paper and drying prints, as I don't have a proper drying rack the worktop will have to do. 

The boards on the wall are the boards that I printed for my final major project in my final year of uni, it just adds some colour in the shed instead of staring at white walls all the time.
