As creators, we are often in contact with hazardous materials and equipment that when used incorrectly or without proper precaution may have long-term impacts on our health and ability to continue in our art-making practices. This guide is meant to bring awareness to common safety concerns and provide tips and resources for helping protect yourself and those around you when creating your art and is not meant as a comprehensive guide of all materials and equipment.
You can also learn more about physical and mental well-being by engaging with other programming and initiatives led by the Resilience, Wellness and Well-being Center. Follow us on instagram @HealthyPratt to stay up to date on our latest offerings!
