Bill, Direct light is very undesirable and if you do build south facing
skylights you will have to deal with screening or deflecting the light, at
least during sun breaks, I guess. Direct light on your work will be
dazzling, but difficult to work with. Sculpture is very light dependent.
Vertical light is the usual best. Windows are a waste of wall space and
will introduce lateral light which will undermine your vertical light. I
have covered all the windows in my shop. Light is the number one priority
in my fantasy shop. I work by vertical daylight alone and it is very
disturbing to see a piece that I have struggled over all day turn ghoulish
and wrong when I come in at night and it is lit poorly. You are very
lucky to build your own shop. A person needs "somewhere to go". Think
about a dust collector!
