Whether you are a beginner who is just going to their first pottery class or a seasoned potter who has worked in the studio for many years,everyone needs proper clothes in the studio. Unlike other professions where it is important to look your best and maybe even wear dress clothes,it is more important in pottery to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messy. This can include anything from old denim jeans and a ratty shirt to overalls and boots.
When it comes to clothing in the studio there aren’t many rules. The main important rule is to wear closed toe shoes so that if you drop tools it won’t hurt your feet. Other than that,you shouldn’t wear loose clothing that might get caught in the wheel or light-colored clothes if you’re working with clay that can stain it.
If you end up wearing clothes that you don’t want to get messy in the <a href="https://staging.ceramic.school/how-to-organize-your-pottery-studio/">pottery studio</a> there are alternative things you can wear to protect your clothes. These include various types of aprons,overalls,and smocks.

It is important to note that if you get your clothes covered in a large amount of clay then you should remove the larger chunks,if possible,to make it easier on your <a id="amznPsBmLink_1584220" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" href="http://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-cu-ft-Impeller-delivery-Available/dp/B073RL7JC1/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=ceramicschool-20&amp;linkId=45806ad77c348b656d459d9358f86789&amp;linkCode=ktl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="washing machine" data-amzn-link-id="45806ad77c348b656d459d9358f86789">washing machine</a><img id="amznPsBmPixel_1584220" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&amp;t=ceramicschool-20&amp;bm-id=default&amp;l=ktl&amp;linkId=45806ad77c348b656d459d9358f86789&amp;_cb=1508071815506" alt="" width="0" height="0" border="0" />. It is best to wash your clothes regularly since they will harbor dust from the studio,which can harm your lungs over time. If you find that there is still clay in your clothing after washing it then rewashing it should remove the last of the clay.
In conclusion,safety and comfort both matter in the studio so it is always a good idea to think about what you will wear to the studio before you go. Having comfortable clothes that won’t get caught in the wheel and you don’t mind getting messy will allow you work on the wheel longer. This is also helpful for focusing more on what you’re working on without any frustrating distracts from clothes so get out there and make!
