Hi Judith,

Thanks for leaving your website.
On the pastel dust issue, I did not post anything since my knowledge about this is low and it is hard to judge which info on the net is correct. It is known that some pigments are poisonous, but manufacturers should not make pastels with those pigments. If you have some really old pastels, they might be risky.

Hi–I just joined, and I am a pastel artist, or I should say (snobily) I am an artist who works in pastel. I have an important question, one I do not find addressed here as yet. I am moving and planning to transfer my studio to my apartment. I have never had a bad reaction to pastel dust, and grew up breathing that and god knows what else in my artist-father’s house. Now I am reading on the Net about all the dangers of pastel dust, which I knew about, but was not aware they were as bad as these Web warnings have indicated. They make it sound like it is radio-active. Please reply with your comments on this, and how you deal with the issue.
Thanks!!
