About Us
It's important for an artist to work in a safe environment. An artist's livelihood depends on their good health. Carvers have to be especially concerned about safety and their health. Power tools grind up lots of dust, make plenty of noise, and cause rock chips to fly up. Breathing in stone dust is harmful. Rock dust accumulates in the lungs and causes a variety of serious illnesses, like silicosis or pulmonary fibrosis.
n 2001, a team of scientists from the University of Alberta traveled to Baker Lake, Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Cape Dorset to study the impact of years of slicing stone on carvers. The results of that study are expected to be released in the fall of 2001 or the following year, according to Patrick Hessel, the professor spearheading this study.
