Art supplies are often tested on animals and many contain animal products so since going vegan I’ve been trying to gradually switch to vegan friendly supplies. Sadly, there’s little information available on this subject (next to no info publicly available from manufacturers themselves) but more folks seem to be realizing that their art supplies don’t align with their ethics..
There is of course conflicting information available due to language barriers, misunderstandings, inquiries not being specific enough, and companies not knowing whether their products could be considered vegan or refusing to answer questions… so it can be kind of overwhelming looking for info.
SO remember you’re doing your best, try contacting companies directly, and don’t beat yourself up if you learn that products you’ve been using contain bone char or honey! Do your own research and do what you can with the information and resources available to you!
I’ll update this post as I find more sources but for now here is all I’ve found:
Vegan Art Stuff blog (seems to have the most extensive criteria for what they will consider vegan)
Jackson’s Art cruelty-free art supplies blog post
Art on the Fridge vegan friendly art supplies list
Vegan Womble art and craft supplies list
