ABOUT THE WARATAH ARTIST BAG What is the Waratah artist bag? Waratah is a bold, vibrant canvas tool bag designed for creative makers who demand complete studio organisation. Featuring 27 total pockets (18 external + 9 exclusive internal compartments), this multi-pocket artist bag brings order, efficiency, and energy to your creative practice.
Designed in Byron Bay by a working ceramicist, Waratah solves everyday studio frustrations: finding tools instantly, protecting delicate equipment, and transporting supplies effortlessly without chaos.
INNOVATIVE DUAL-POCKET SYSTEM How does the pocket organisation work? Our unique organisation system sets Waratah apart from standard pottery bags and artist totes: • 18 External Pockets: Quick-access outer pockets designed for tools you grab constantly—pottery trimming tools, paintbrushes, pencils, and carving 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 fight 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 drawing pads
-
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.
