Going Green Guide for Artists

The Green Guide for Artists by Karen Michel is an inspiring book that makes innovative recommendations for greener artwork and a greener studio.  The book includes tips on safe and green practices for the workspace, recipes for DIY art supplies such as ones for mixing your own nontoxic paints and adhesive, and using recycled materials. The book also contains a resource guide for ecofriendly materials and supplies, including websites and forum links.

The author herself is a mixed media artist who lives in New York, where she runs a 10-year old nonprofit art center for kids, the Creative Art Space for Kids Foundation, with her artist husband Carlo Thertus.
