What should I wear to paint pottery?

When it comes to what to put on for your class, just remember two things: be comfy and don't wear your best outfit! Most classes include the use of an apron to protect your clothes, but a sneaky splash of paint or glaze can still make its way onto your outfit. So, just stick to those old jeans, a favourite everyday t-shirt, or anything you wouldn't mind if it got a little bit colourful.

You'll be moving about and leaning over your pottery, so pick clothes that are loose and comfortable – some people like short sleeves to keep cool, while others prefer long sleeves if they get a bit chilly or want extra protection from any stray paint. For your feet, just go for anything comfy and closed-toe – definitely leave those fancy sandals at home. And if your hair's long, it's advisable to tie it back so it's not getting in the way or dragging in the glaze. Basically, just wear something practical so you can relax and get stuck into the painting without a worry!

What are the benefits of pottery painting classes?
