Internal Compartments | Our Unique Innovation
This is what sets The Artist Bag apart from every competing pottery bag, including Soolla.
Our tall internal pockets stay open at the bottom so the interior can expand or contract depending on what you carry. Tools can stand upright, allowing you to see everything from above without unpacking.
Perfect for:
• Long ribs, rollers, or wooden paddles standing upright
• Cups filled with brushes (lift the whole cup out)
• Taller pottery tools in a vertical position
• Small boxes with stamps or texture tools
No other pottery tool bag on the market offers this system. It’s our signature feature, and the main reason Australian potters choose The Artist Bag.
Complete Portable Studio System
The Artist Bag is designed to fit our Pottery Tool Rack perfectly in the central compartment.
At Home: Tool Rack sits on your workbench with all tools organised and visible.
Transport: Lift the entire rack with tools inside, place in Artist Bag, travel organised.
At Studio: Remove rack, set on workbench, instant professional setup.
This portable studio system doesn't exist anywhere else in the pottery bag market.

Designed in Byron Bay by a Working Potter
I'm Mon Manabu, a ceramicist in Byron Bay's Northern Rivers.
The Artist Bag emerged from two years of studying the Diploma in Ceramics at Lismore TAFE, solving my own frustration: transporting tools between studios without chaos, damage, or disorganisation.
The breakthrough was internal compartments. Traditional bags pile everything together.
By creating vertical storage and The Tool Rack, tools stay visible, protected and organised.
Each bag is inspired by Australian landscape. Each pocket placement is intentional.
This isn't mass-produced, it's thoughtful design by someone who lives this creative life.
