What is the best apron?

Aprons worn in the studio need to be potters aprons. A standard apron will not fit you when sitting at the wheel.

Rollers, stamps, and pottery forms:

We have a small selection at the studio, but there are so many options; it is impossible to provide them all. Almost anything can be used as a pottery tool. Ask John if you have any questions.

Tip-wooden forms and rollers are ideal. Stamps with a punch are the best, but any stamp/cutter will work.
