If it were just smoke, a wet handkerchief would suffice in a pinch as an improvised air filter, but with volcanic ash, as I undertsand it, it's extremely fine particles that are very sharp and could create serious respiratory problems if inhaled.

Improvised gas mask
Of course you'd need to find a way to plug your nose.
