Open Studio : Pollock Krasner House & Study Center

Posted by Silke Stoddard

Ever since seeing the movie Pollock, I’ve been wanting to go to the Pollock Krasner House & Study Center, in New York’s Long Island.

Open Studio : More Craft Room Organization

Posted by Morgan Levine

The key to keeping our craft space functioning is organization. We try our best to group like objects. For example, our nature closet includes acorns, pine cones, wreath forms, pressed flowers, fake flowers, floral supplies, and a whole lot of other similar materials, tools, and supplies.

Open Studio : Organized at TV (and at home)

Posted by Hosanna Houser

Today’s TV Tuesday blog post written by Hosanna, Lead Crafter at Television and slightly OCD. Ok, so I hear it a lot. “Who is the obsessive person who put these up?” And I have to admit I did it. Sure, it seems above and beyond being organized, but with so many people in and out …
