DIY Drawing and Art Desks
An art desk is an important part of an artist's studio. Having space to spread out and put supplies makes for a better organized and less stressful work environment. Art desks can be expensive if you buy them at art supply stores, especially in larger sizes. Additionally, most store-bought art desks are cumbersome and awkwardly shaped. Make a custom art desk yourself that can meet your needs.
