Keep yourself and others safe when working with clay

Many clays contain Crystalline Silica, a fine dust that can be released during:

• Mixing dry clay or glazes
• Trimming or sanding dry pieces
• Cleaning up clay dust without proper methods.

Breathing in silica dust over time can cause Silicosis, aserious and irreversible lung disease. Even small amountsof dust, if inhaled regularly, can pose a risk.Protect Yourself:

✅ Use wet paper towel to wipe down work surfaces.

✅ Wear a mask when dust exposure is possible (through sanding, filing, gridning etc).

✅ Work in well-ventilated areas.

✅ Clean floors with our wet vacuum or wet mop—never dry sweep.

✅ Wash hands and face after working with clay.

✅ Do not eat or drink whilst working with clay.

STAY SAFE. STAY HEALTHY. SILICA DUST IS INVISIBLE—PROTECTION ISN’T.
