Making a Monkey -- Jessica Joslin shows us her workspace

200901191525

I'm interested in artists' and DIYers' workspaces. I like to find out how they organize their tools and supplies, and how they set up their workbenches and drawing boards. When I went to sculptor Jessica Joslin's fantastic show at Billy Shire Fine Arts last week, I asked her about her workspace. She kindly had some photos taken and posted them to her Flickr site.

She told me that she doesn't weld or solder any of her sculptures, because the heat could destroy the finishes of the metal pieces she incorporates into her work. Instead, she drills and bolts the components together.
