Working with glass art is deeply fulfilling, but safety should always remain your top priority in the workshop. Here are essential safety guidelines every glass crafter must follow.

1. Always Wear ANSI-Rated Eye Protection

Microscopic glass chips can fly unexpectedly during scoring, running, or grinding. Always wear comfortable, clear safety glasses with side shields.

2. Protect Your Hands & Workspace

• Use cut-resistant Kevlar or leather gloves when handling sharp glass sheets.
• Keep a dedicated bench brush to sweep away glass slivers regularly.
• Never eat or drink in your glass studio area.

3. Respiratory Protection During Grinding & Soldering

When operating a wet glass grinder, wear a mask to avoid inhaling fine glass dust mist. When soldering lead or copper foil seams, ensure proper ventilation or use a dedicated smoke absorber fan.
