My UVA teacher told the class about a professional pastel artist who has a table with a huge tray to catch the pastel dust. The dust can be hazardous as some colors use cadmium and cobalt. Truly dust was a problem last time a did a pastel painting at home. So I bought some cheap aluminum meatloaf pans and voila!

I guess I have to work on the meatloaf pans. One fell off last night with a loud clatter that woke everyone up!
