Dear Clayarters,

Apparently there is an article in the December issue of Art News that lists
my name and number. I'm getting a flock of calls. I don't get this mag and
haven't seen the article. If anyone gets this mag and can send me a copy of
the article I'd appreciate it.

Sorry I haven't seen the article, but it's lousy if they published it
and you didn't want it published.

I do have a question I hope you can answer. I read and take to heart
all the safety concerns you and other express. I worry when I walk into
college studios and feel like I can hardly breathe. I didn't take that
particular class for that reason, even though it's only 3 hours a week.
My own studio is a room in my house, but the kiln is in the garage and I
vent outside with an envirovent. I'm really trying to understand about
the small clay particle sizes and the damage they can do to your lungs.
If I am only throwing a bag a week or less, is this really a problem for
me? Or is it more for people doing production work or exposed over many
years? Everything I see is like black and white, and it's hard for me
to sort out given that there are so many classroom situations and books
that don't even address it. If you were exposed to this dust for 4
hours a week, would you worry? 10?

Thanks for any insight you can give. I have a new ceramics supply store
opening and I'm selling safety equipment, but I would also like to have
a better understanding of this for my customers. In other words, if I
push for them to get $3000 worth of equipment, maybe they won't spend
any and I've done them a disservice over at least urging them to get the
minimum.

Monona,
The full article ("The Perils of Painting") can be
read online at:
http://www.artnewsonline.com/feature.htm

I'm amazed that you didn't know about it - it
reads like an interview.
