Nontoxicprint / Safe Painting / Hub: Health in the Arts is a very good resource on hazards in the arts. I used it frequently when I was active in hazards in the arts.

I became interested in non-toxic printmaking around 2001. First, I was pleased to discover Keith Howard’s research in etching with photopolymer film. Soon after, I discovered the possibilities of acrylic resist etching by Friedhard Kiekeben. Since then, I have included these techniques in my own artwork. Including non-toxic processes to my printmaking practice has been good not just for my health but also to develop a meaningful artwork that otherwise it wouldn’t have looked the same.
The nontoxicprint is the place where I have been feeding and refreshing my knowledge as a contemporary printmaker. The website offers a well organized archive of articles with all the relevant information about non-toxic printmaking. Also, being a contemporary printmaker you could feel isolated but thanks to the network created by nontoxicprint you can feel part of a worldwide community of artists with your similar interests.

Testimonial for Nontoxicprint resource.
As a visual artist and co-lead of Artlab Contemporary Print Studios in the UK, one of my main ambitions and drivers for the last 25 years has been to create a safe, innovative, and transdisciplinary studio where traditional and contemporary print practices sit side by side.
The nontoxicprint website is a rich resource and has created a network of artists all contributing to a global conversation around safer practices for anyone using print.
Such discourse is essential to maintain innovation and to equip practitioners and studios with the necessary information needed to create safe, creative, practical print studios.
Friedhard’s significant research into safer processes and materials has enabled a continued development of his online platforms and vital link to an extended global creative network.
