Recently another friend, Polly Pratt, has secured a studio at the back of the Olive Grove, she has made the big move from the kitchen table to a studio. I can imagine the harmony that a move like that might make to my household!
Doing a quick search, there are a number of web sites such as Creative Spaces that list studio spaces for artists. They have a section called Established Spaces which lists studios similar to Ironside. There are also complexes around such as as the Brunswick Business Incubator and the Appleton Street Studios in Richmond that might suit some crafty types.
It is no secret that I work from home, I have converted my front room and walk in robe into a sewing space. I have a 2 1/2 year old, so working from home gives me flexibility. I also know a lot of other people who successfully work from home running web publishing, graphic design and writing businesses.
Having a 10 second commute from the home to office can have it's positives, but also it's negatives especially if you are a crafty worker.

There is some lovely studios there, but I must admit working from home is perfect. Close to my sons school and I don't have to commute and use petrol.
I have to say that as much as I would love to have a studio elsewhere, I love that I can pop in to my work space with the kids are asleep, or playing happily in the garden and i can work for 20 minutes. i wouldn't be able to do that if my work space was off site.
One day perhaps....
