Now, sometimes I admit that you need to be able to mobilize your jewelry work. For example, I like to work with metal clay, but I share my office with my cats. Animal fur and metal clay are not a good combination, so I normally do most of the work on metal clay in my bathroom. I can close the door and keep them out. When I have items that need to dry, I put them in a drawer I have in the bathroom vanity.

However, I don't like having my metal clay in there all the time. In fact, it's a guest bathroom, so the few times we do have guests, it's a pain to have to totally clear it out of my supplies, so I found a compromise. I keep items like my torch and hot pot under the bathroom vanity when I'm not using them. Plus, I have a large cart with wheels that I store metal clay supplies like the tools, fine silver wire and findings, and of course, packets of clay.

This way when I'm working I can roll the cart in there, and when I'm finished, I just stuff all my gear back in the cart and roll it back into my studio.
