5.0 out of 5 stars No practicing artist should be without, September 4, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
If the title sounds familiar, that's because Artist Beware: The Hazards In Working With All Art And Craft Materials And The Precautions Every Artist And Craftsperson Should Take appears in a newly updated, revised edition to provide the latest facts. The latest EPA and OSHA standards for artists is included in this edition, as well as updated details on proper ventilation, machine and tool safety, fiber hazards and more. No practicing artist should be without.
