Pneumosparklyosis, or Glitter Lung

After 33 years in the classroom, and 23 in a high school art room, I learned to be wary of the materials we used. Five years of silk screening and intaglio printmaking and a touch of asthma brought about a major revelation: Yes, the safety was important for the chillens, but even more so, I was the one who was in that room all day, every day, using the same chemicals for every repetition of that lesson plan! I'm OK. Be OK.
