Why use Protective Equipment?
Aprons, masks, gloves and more have all been created to protect you and your possessions. Overalls and aprons designed for pottery are great choices to help shield your clothes and skin from stains from clay, glazes and oxides, providing convenient and safe coverage.
A lot of PPE is designed by potters, for potters, offering durable fabrics, adjustable straps, pockets, split legs, tie backs and much more. Protection is key - especially when dealing with particles like clay dust. Our range includes dust masks, respirators, protective gloves and a range of other things that are vital to ensuring your safety.
Potters Aprons from Leading Brands
Looking for a new apron? Our range includes options from leading brands like Echo Ceramics USA, and Fieldware. Echo Ceramics offers split-leg options that provide side-to-side, top-to-bottom coverage without the need for adjusting or strapping. The Claypron walking apron is available in a selection of colours, and can be used during glazing, wheel throwing and handbuilding. Fieldware's options have a split front, offering great protection and flexibility. Offering a single pocket secured with copper rivets, these are handcrafted from hardwearing British waxed cotton for a relaxed, comfortable fit.
There's also the PotApron® - a water resistant, durable and practical apron with fully adjustable straps and a clever clip design. With bespoke options available to be made for shorter and taller potters, this potter's apron is made from a light fabric with a comfortable split leg design.
Looking for something a little more unique? Try The Original Potter's Apron designed and made by hand by Laura Wright - a professional curtain maker and wife to potter David Wright. With a unique brace design, quick release buckle and overlap split design, this denim design is comfortable to wear and unlike any other.
Potter's Masks and Filters
We also offer a selection of other PPE, including half-masks to help when using dry powdered materials. These comfortable half-masks are fully adjustable for a snug facial fit, and allow easy breathing thanks to their stable mask configuration. If you run out of filters, we also stock replacements too. Not quite needing a half-mask? Perhaps a pair of safety goggles better suit your requirements.
