When Do You Need an FFP3 Face Mask in Pottery

Pottery is a very safe activity but there are certain times when Potters need to protect their lungs from fine powders. That’s where FFP3 face masks come in!

In this episode, I talk about what an FFP3 face mask is, how it works, and four scenarios when a Potter would need one:

*When making pottery glazes or clay.

*When sieving plant ashes. 

*When scraping dry clay.

*When applying glaze to pottery by spraying.
