An interesting case study from Malvern Garden Buildings which profiles Sussex-based jewellery maker Ellen Hooper, founder of Graceful Deviant. Ellen handcrafts unique pieces from silver and gemstones in her garden studio. This is how she describes it:
"My studio is for nothing else but being creative—and not being able to see that pile of washing you should really get on with helps too! It’s a self-contained space with minimal distractions, apart from the weather, the birds and the odd squirrel! Although it may only be a few feet away from the house, my garden studio feels so removed that when I close the blinds and lock the door at the end of the day, it really feels like leaving work behind."
