Shedworking - An Illustrated Alternative

By Francesca McGlone on 21st October, 2010

Shedworking: The Alternative Workplace Revolution by Alex Johnson is an attractive, all-encompassing handbook about the undeniable and numerous benefits of swapping a remotely based office for a convenient and friendly garden shed. On sight, the book is instantly inspirational as examples of various shed working solutions adorn its cover. The book offers interesting insights into the background and history of shedworking as a place where creativity is activated. The author identifies famous examples such as Roald Dahl and Henry Moore as successful shed workers, who embraced an environment that became the source of masterpieces.

Leaving the daily commute behind in favour of a short stroll across the garden lawn towards a personal haven is an idyllic way to spend the working day. The variety of options available to a shedworker in terms of decoration and use makes it broadly appealing. A better quality working life is presented, which is something everyone strives to achieve.

The author’s enthusiasm makes this a very engaging read while equally acting as a book that can be leafed through casually and appreciated as an accomplished collection of visually rich photographs. Although working from home is not a notion that lacks obvious advantages, simply flicking through the contents of this book acts as a very persuasive tool.

The creative output that is showcased as a result of shedworking is a subject that is aptly bound in an artistic package of interesting information, written and presented in an approachable style.
