I use rubber gloves when I might immerse my hand in glaze or when
sponging off pot bottoms. This is due both to the alkaline nature of
glaze and potential absorbtion of toxics through nailbeds, skin, etc.
However I only wear a glove on my right hand (I am right handed), since
gloves can easily mess up glaze, and I can better manipulate a pot with
the ungloved hand.

I use the rubber gloves you would find in the doctors office when glazing,
mixing chemicals, and when my hands are so dry they need to be protected. I
have even tried to throw with them on, but with little success. I wear them
on both hands. They fit tight enough to feel like a second skin.

Naama hello,
You can buy box of 100 non-sterile surgical gloves in any pharmacy,
superpharm,etc. They come in different sizes and are so close fitting,
that it's the closest thing to working with your bare hands. I use them
when working with glazes in all the stages- from weighing dry materials
to the wet stage, application on ware and even clean-up. You can use
them to work with clay if you have cuts on hands, and even if it's not
the same as the real thing, at least you don't lose out on precious
studio time. Hope this helps.
Bye from Jen in Israel

I buy surgical gloves by the box in a hospital supply. It is just like the box
you see on the counter in your doctors office. I use them when I'm handling
any kind of potentially harmful chemical, particularly manganese. I also
learned to "tolerate" them when throwing when I had a serious gash on my hand.
I have cut fingers off to cover bandaids on my fingers.........all sorts of
uses just pop up.

When your hands are really dry, try butting a lot of hand cream on and
then rubber gloves. after a couple of hours your hands will be as soft
as a baby's b...

Vasoline also works wonders on your hands after being in rubber gloves for
several hours. After so many post on using vinegar to rinse your hands
after working with clay, I tried this. It has been remarkable the
difference in how dry my hands were, I also use vinegar in my throwing
water.

Hi Clayarters,
Have been following the good advice about vinegar on hands before
cream, and it has worked wonders on those dry chapped to the point of being
painful hands. The cream I have been using is Avon's Silicon Glove, great
improvement. I have recommended the combination to others. Wish I could use
vinegar in my throwing water, but it is more or less banned from the studio
because one person is allergic. Not clay related, but cider vinegar is
great as a final rinse for your hair!
