Find the perfect work apron for your creative practice at In The Making – Aprons, or commission one just for you! Lisa is a workwear design expert (and artist) who crafts aprons specifically for potters, artists and craftspeople. Her wide range of aprons has developed through collaborations, closely observing creative practices and devising practical features, easy-to-wear comfort and a professional appearance.
In The Making - Aprons reconsiders the ancient garments traditionally associated with the practice of crafts, trades and domestic work to produce distinctive workwear designs for the contemporary maker. Aprons that are not just functional but also companions for daily creativity.
“Sustainability and respect for materials is at the heart of everything I make. I carefully consider the durability of the fabric, the strength of construction and longevity. Textile waste is reduced by cutting economically with offcuts reimagined into a small collection of Boro inspired bags and aprons.” - Lisa Bennett (In The Making – Aprons)

LISA BENNETT - IN THE MAKING APRONS - "It all started with a denim cross back apron made to wear whilst doing my own artwork. I opened an online shop and soon got enquiries from artists, potters and makers about customisations and became entirely focused on these specialist workwear aprons."
I completed my Art Foundation at Oxford Brookes University followed by a BA Degree in Fashion Design from Kingston University, later studying Experimental Illustration professional development course at University of the Arts London (UAL London College of Communication). Following art college I worked in the music industry for 10 years then a couple of years in book publishing before resuming design & illustration work, mainly appliqué/embroidery/print for childrenswear, but also prop making and craft tutorials/workshops.

I already had a lovely bespoke apron for my silversmithing, but I've used that one a decade and it's got a bit baggy.
This new one is fabulous. It's really sturdy yet soft denim and 100 denim, so it won't stretch nor be a fire risk The pocket has already rescued a gemstone for me.
It arrived promptly, was beautifully packaged and I'm delighted with it.
Thank you Lisa.

Sturdy beautifully made bag which will last for years. Sized to perfection. It's an absolute treat to receive and unwrap a purchase from this seller. The packaging components will all be reused in Christmas decoration making. Very many thanks!
