My Creative Space - Allison Ipson

 

My Creative Space

  • Built in the loft of my house
  • Stairs from the back door lead directly to loft so visiting people don’t have to walk through entire house 
  • Bathroom by stairs making it a self sufficient area
  • Immediately upon walking up stairs, opens into large open area which includes a family rest area, library, and open railing looking out onto the living room 
  • Family area includes window seat, air hockey, ping pong, some plants and has a wood style linoleum floor 
  • Library has bookshelves, bean bags, chairs, a window seat, and a table and carpet 
  • Next to the bathroom is a project/craft room for various mediums, including a sewing section and a supply counter/shelves
  • Craft room also has a couple tables in the middle, a desk by the window, some plants, a fish tank, and houses the idea corner and darkroom door 
  • Idea corner has a white board wall and a bulletin board, allowing for any inspirations, including images, artists, or concepts to be hung and also notes to be written on the wall 
  • Darkroom door is a light proof turn door that leads into darkroom
  • Darkroom has an enlarger, as well as a large chemical sink
  • Photo processing room is connected to darkroom by curving dark hallway that blocks out light 
  • Photo processing room has stored darkroom chemicals, a counter, sink, and photo drying rack 
  • Portrait studio has connecting doors to photo processing room and library and includes a seamless wall, a hanging backdrop area, studio lights, and a printer for photos and matting station


Encourages Risks: 

  • Space for multiple mediums, encouraging me to get outside my comfort zone
  • Accessible to my whole family, making it so I have to discuss my work more than I currently do
  • Door to studio from outside that makes it more accessible to outsiders while still being in my house… encouraging me to have others interaction
  • Photography studio that has a portrait setup, pushing me to branch outside my comfort zone of landscape photography
  • Located within my home, accessible to family, pushing me to balance art and family


Comfort Space:

  • Looks out over my living room so I can interact with home while working
  • Has library and plants: some of my personal comfort elements
  • Has all the things I would need to succeed, encouraging me to work on it
  • Lots of natural light
  • Fish tank - other living things
  • Self sufficient, meaning I can produce things on my own time table
