ABOUT THE ARTIST BAG What is The Pass artist bag? The Pass is an ocean-blue canvas tool bag designed for creative makers who want complete studio organisation, maximum accessibility, and signature coastal style. Featuring 27 total pockets (18 external + 9 exclusive internal compartments), this multi-pocket artist bag brings order, efficiency, and flow to your creative practice.
Named after Byron Bay’s legendary surf break, The Pass was designed in Byron Bay by a working ceramicist to solve everyday studio challenges: finding tools instantly, protecting delicate equipment, and transporting supplies effortlessly.
INNOVATIVE DUAL-POCKET SYSTEM How does the pocket organisation work? Our unique dual-pocket system sets The Pass 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 notebooks
-
Small wedging boards, clay blocks, and water bottles

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.
