Porcelain sculpture studios often involve the use of hazardous materials such as glazes, solvents, and dust-producing clay. Ensuring safety in these environments requires strict adherence to protocols. First, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, respirators, and goggles, to minimize exposure to harmful substances. Proper ventilation is critical; install exhaust systems or work in well-ventilated areas to reduce inhalation risks.

Store hazardous materials in clearly labeled, sealed containers away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Regularly inspect storage areas for leaks or damage. When handling powdered materials like silica or glaze components, use wet methods or dust collectors to prevent airborne particles.

Dispose of waste according to local regulations, separating toxic residues from general trash. Train all studio users in emergency procedures, including spill containment and first aid. Finally, maintain a clean workspace to avoid cross-contamination and accidental exposure. By following these guidelines, artists can create safely while protecting their health and the environment.
