Pottery can be a real mess due to the gobs of clays, so you may want to consider wearing your dirty-work clothes, like an old shirt. With that in mind, you need an apron and rag too! It is crucial to remove any jewellery on your wrists as they can get in the way of work. Lastly, make sure to tie your hair so that you don’t have to worry about getting a strand on your pot after firing.
