Ignorance is not bliss!

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".

No practicing artist should be without

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.
