Setting Up Your Workspace
Three essential items for your workspace:
- Beading Mat: this soft surface prevents beads from rolling off the table and provides a cushion for your hands. A beading board can also come in handy when stringing or working on multiple-strand designs.
- Lighting: With or without magnification, lighting makes beading easier on the eyes. Choose energy efficient lamps with full-spectrum bulbs or tubes for the best results.
- Storage & organization: Keep your materials and tools tidy and right on-hand for when inspiration strikes by storing them in an efficient system.
Full-spectrum daylight is essential for jewelry makers because it:
- Places bright light right where you need it
- Ensures color accuracy, perfect for color matching
- Significantly increases contrast
- Enables you to see intricate details with ease
- Reduces glare, eye-strain, headaches and red-eye
- Uses bulbs/tubes that use less energy and last longer
