Making Art Safely: Alternative Methods and Materials in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Graphic Design, and Photography
Making Art Safely is a master guidebook and unique visual reference for avoiding physical
risk in your studio or workplace, without sacrificing the quality of your art. This
incomparable guide first identifies chemical and physical hazards currently found in art,
design, printmaking, and photographic studios, then shows you how to easily replace them
with nontoxic materials and safer art-making practices that will not distract from, or
jeopardize, the quality of your output. Making Art Safely is also brimming with personal
stories of highly accomplished artists who have reformed their art-making approaches and
chosen safer, healthier ways to practice their craft. Accompanying these discussions are
over 200 beautiful color and black-and-white photographs of work that has been executed
"safely," with minimal risk to its creator.
