Outback - Premium pottery tool bag with multiple pockets (18 external + 9 internal) and wide central space for Tool Rack and art supplies. Earthy canvas bag designed in Byron Bay for potters, painters, illustrators, printmakers, graffiti artists, designers and creators of all kinds, inspired by Australia's natural landscape.
ABOUT THE OUTBACK ARTIST BAG What is the Outback artist bag? Outback is a warm, earthy terracotta-toned canvas tool bag designed for artists and makers who draw inspiration from nature and raw materials. Featuring 27 total pockets (18 external + 9 exclusive internal compartments), this multi-pocket artist bag brings complete organisation, functionality, and grounded style to your creative practice.
Inspired by Australia's red desert sands and iconic interior landscape, Outback was designed in Byron Bay by a working ceramicist to solve everyday studio challenges: finding tools instantly during creative flow, protecting delicate equipment, and transporting supplies effortlessly.
INNOVATIVE DUAL-POCKET SYSTEM How does the pocket organisation work? Our unique dual-pocket system sets Outback apart from standard pottery bags and generic artist totes: • 18 External Pockets: Quick-access outer pockets engineered for tools you reach for repeatedly—pottery trimming tools, paintbrushes, pencils, and sculpting instruments. • 9 Exclusive Internal Compartments: Unlike competing tool bags, our taller internal compartments remain open at the bottom to provide true vertical storage. Tools stand upright and fully visible. Perfect for wooden ribs, long brushes, rolling pins, or holding containers filled with small tools.
GENEROUS CENTRAL SPACE What fits inside the central compartment? The wide, open-top central compartment provides instant visual access—no zippers to fumble with when your hands are covered in clay, paint, or glaze. Fits:
-
Our custom wooden pottery Tool Rack
-
Tablets (up to 11") and Laptops (up to 13")
-
A4 sketchbooks and large nature journals
-
Small wedging boards, clay blocks, and water bottles
DURABLE CANVAS CONSTRUCTION What materials is the bag made of? Crafted from robust, pre-washed heavy-duty canvas (85% cotton, 15% polyester), Outback handles heavy studio and field work with ease. Featuring reinforced seams and double-stitching at key stress points, it stands upright on a wide, stable base. Pre-washed canvas ensures a soft feel from day one with minimal shrinkage.
