I found this interesting two-part article on how to design and build wainscoting for an arts and crafts home. If your area of arts or crafts business is decorative or functional, you might be interested in checking out these instructions.
If you're a do-it-yourself homeowner, I recommend the instructions as well. It's easy to find and buy ready-made wainscoting, I've even found some online. However, following these instructions, you may prefer to just customize the wainscoting to your own home or customer's home.
The articles has plenty of images to guide you along. However, you need to have some basic woodworking skills (and tools) prior to starting this type of project.
