One other definition, I was attending some talk about being an artist,
and the speaker said some thing about an artist has a 'studio, not a
work shop.' A studio implys too much order for me, my chaos is a work
shop, no one who sees it would argue that point, yet some of my work
is definatly art. Quoting Anthony Yak on another forum (Wood Net), "if
it don't hold soup, then it's art".

Just had that discussion a few days ago!

A lady wanted to come see my "studio"...
I told her that my pieces were in 2 studios, meaning "art studios", in my mind..

She said something like "No, I mean where you create your art"..

I told her that my shop was part of my house and that she was welcome to come on
up and visit..
