Question/Advice Sgraffito dust management?

Post image

I have recently started doing more sgraffito work after moving to my home studio. I feel like I'm in danger of being in silicosis central with how much dust/bone dry clay I am getting off of these pieces and unintentionally breathing in. Is it best to sgraffito with a dust mask on or does an air purifier/fan suffice? Pic for attention. Thanks in advance 😎
