It’s the start of a new year, and I find myself looking to reorganize EVERYTHING. The art studio is no different, and today I want to share with you some great organizing tips for your studio or craft room.
The best way to organize your art studio is to lay out all the tools you use currently and begin to assess your storage needs. I personally change materials frequently, but am currently working the most with watercolors, gouache, acrylics, colored pencils, and neocolors.
This is the filming space we created along the back wall of my painting room.
I like to use these archival boxes from Blick to keep my favorite original paintings safe. They are museum quality, with metal corners on the sides (no adhesives), and a convenient drop front on the long end to carefully sort through work.
I also have several plastic snap top folders from the dollar store that I keep each project and reference in while I’m working on projects. This keeps everything together and fairly safe from splatters and spills. I like that they are clear and I can see what’s in them easily. Obviously they aren’t the best quality, but you can’t beat the price of 4 for a dollar.
