NEW & IMPROVED! No7:2 ochre canvas!

This apron design has been in the range for 3 years now, in a navy/white fine stripe denim with red straps, it has lots of great features but the stripey fabric did tend to hide them – but this ochre cotton canvas shows them off in all their glory! The original design has also been improved by adding a large pocket to the skirt, for phone/notebook.

The front ‘split leg’ feature offers plenty of movement and ensures each leg is well covered while seated at the potters wheel or workbench. There is an array of pockets: a wide set of pockets with 4 compartments set at waist height for easy access when sitting, a breast pocket with two compartments for small tools, pencils etc, a large pocket on the side of the skirt for larger tools, notebook or phone – there’s also a fabric loop for hanging a cleaning cloth or keys. An extremely comfortable crosback strap design adjusts to fit perfectly across a wide size range and accommodates extra layers in a chilly studio!

NEW! Dusty Red Canvas No14:2

This pleated split leg apron has proved popular since I launched it 18 months ago, so I’m trying out some new colours and fabrics – this is the first of 3 new ones coming before the summer. This is a lovely colour, sort of ‘dusty-red-terracotta-dark pinky’ in the same tough medium-weight 100% cotton canvas as the original ochre version.

A very distinctive unusual potters/artists apron but with all the essential features needed for serious workwear. The pleated skirt and front split give excellent coverage and movement, well suited to craft activities that involve being seated at a work bench or potters wheel.

NEW! Green canvas 4:5 apron

A new dusty green colour for the No4:5 range of split leg aprons, in tough cotton canvas which is smooth and close woven so that water and muckiness doesn’t penetrate easily. Perfect for serious ceramicists, painters and makers, the split front makes it especially suited to working seated at the wheel or work bench, giving lots of movement and coverage.

New colour for No4:5!

The No4:5 crossback split leg apron now comes in a glorious dusty terracotta/red colour canvas – first of a set of new aprons coming to the shop over the next couple of months. Designed for potters, artists and makers, the split skirt allows plenty of movement, whilst ensuring each leg is perfectly covered when sitting at the wheel or work bench. The easy-fit cross strap design means no ties around the neck, or dangly ties coming undone when your hands are covered in ‘muckiness’, and there are two good size pockets for tools, bits and bobs.

I also added a bit of new info to each listing, explaining the value of “a good work apron lasts many years longer than normal clothes. They retain their designed purpose and functionality, and also represent a special creative connection for the wearer”.
