Split Leg Aprons

A pottery apron needs to do something a standard apron simply can't: let you move freely. Sit at the wheel, reach across the bench, kneel at the kiln - and suddenly full coverage and full freedom of movement stop feeling like opposites. The split leg apron is how ceramicists, florists, gardeners and artists have solved this for centuries.

Our split leg aprons are cut with two long front panels that divide at the centre, protecting you from the splatters. Kneel, squat, stride and reach without fabric pulling, bunching or restricting you. It's a design rooted in Japanese craft traditions, and once you've worked in one, everything else feels like a compromise.

Made from 100% stonewashed natural linen - robust enough for daily studio use, soft enough to wear for a full day without chafing. We also offer a collection of heavy dity 100% cotton split leg aprons for potters. Deep pockets sit at exactly the right height for tools, and crossback ties keep everything in place without retying mid-session.

Our split leg pottery apron is particularly loved by ceramicists who need to sit at the wheel without the front panel bunching, and by florists and gardeners who need to move constantly through the working day. If your work demands real coverage and real freedom in equal measure, this is the apron for it.
