Green Guide for Artists
Nontoxic Recipes, Green Art Ideas, and Resources for the Eco-Conscious Artist
By
Karen Michel

Green Guide for Artists inspires artists to make better
eco-conscious choices within their work and their studios
and shows them how.

The book has four sections:

-The first offers safe and green practices for the workspace.

-The second contains recipes for DIY art supplies such as ones
for mixing your own nontoxic paints and adhesive.

-The next two sections share a fresh look at using recycled materials
through creative step-by-step projects and a gallery.

-The book also contains a resource guide for ecofriendly materials
and supplies, including websites and forum links.
