--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Here is the most complete and authoritative book on preventing and correcting health hazards of art and craft materials.

Is your art killing you? Artist Beware may well be the most important book an artist can own or that art instructors can recommend to their students. It is a thorough and highly detailed examination of the hazards of working with art and craft materials, and of the precautions one should take to assure good health and safety.

The book includes analyses of how gases, liquids, vapors, dusts, and fumes can harm the artist, and studies all aspects of safety in the studio, including the care, handling, and disposal of materials, the use of various kinds of protective equipment, and possible physical hazards. Artist Beware covers the following kinds of art:

Painting * Drawing * Glass Arts * Jewelry Ceramics * Printmaking * Textile Arts * Photography Computer Art * Sculpture * Photocopier Art * Woodworking Children's Art * Metalworking * Enameling * And more

Students, professional artists, and craftspeople alike will appreciate the possibly life-saving information available in this handy volume. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignorance is not bliss!, April 27, 2008
By Lreign48 (Gold Coast, Qld Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Artist Beware (Paperback)
No craft worker, artists, professional or otherwise studio should be without this book. For years I thought many of the materials and the environment I worked in was 100 percent safe. As a graphics artist working with not just computers plus being a hands-on jewellery and object designer I've discovered I've been naively exposed to many harmful materials and chemicals. So far no ill-effects but this book enlightened my "ignorance is bliss" attitude and I now read every MSDS that comes with everything I use, plus refer to the book for further advice. Maybe I've gone over the top with ventilation, extraction, clean-up but this book has taught me "better safe than sorry".
