If you work with clay, you know how messy it can get. Your hands are covered, your clothes take the impact, and you are constantly reaching for tools. A well-designed apron makes a real difference because it lets you stay focused without worrying about the mess.
I make these handmade split leg aprons with my mother-in-law in small batches using local fabric and materials, these aprons are durable, easy to clean and maintain. Each piece is made individually rather than mass produced, with thoughtful details that support how you move and work in the studio.
The split leg design allows you to sit comfortably at the wheel or table while keeping your clothes protected. The lightweight fabric makes it easy to wear for longer sessions. There is a deep front pocket for tools or brushes, a side pocket for your phone or keys, and a loop to keep a towel close by. The cross back design eliminates the need for ties, making it simple to put on and comfortable to wear.
Because each apron is handmade, you also have the option to order one tailored to your own sizing, which makes it a perfect gift for amateur or experienced potters!
I will be bringing a selection of these aprons to the Canadian Clay Symposium on March 21 at Shadbolt Centre in Vancouver. If you are attending, feel free to stop by to see them in person or ask about a custom piece made for you.
