How should we safely dispose acrylic paint wash?
I'm doing the foundation in Painting course, and am surprised that at the beginning there is no information given about how to safely dispose of acrylic paint and the water used to clean brushes, without putting the micro plastics into the water system.
What would you recommend as the best way?
Thanks.

Hi Margaret, this would be great feedback to pass on to the college with whoever runs your course. The college has a sustainability focus and that would help towards conservation by bringing it forward to them. Some great tips here about not pouring the paint down the drain by using a sludge pot and wiping the brushes instead. https://www.jlmohrart.com/post/hold-the-micro-plastics-please

Hi Sarah, I'd be keen on the colourful wool, but would need to be by post - if I could pay for postage? drop me an email at katy527043@oca.ac.uk if that works at all
