[Sca-cooks] ordering pottery by mail

[Elaine Koogler]

There are several things you can do.  I find the most efficient is using
bubble-wrap "bags".  I take bubble wrap, cut a large enough piece to wrap
around whatever item I am packing.  I then seal the edges together to make
an envelope with a small flap.  This usually protects most breakables (and
other items that could be scratched) quite well.  Bed liners (from a drug or
medical supply store) also work very well.  Make sure that you stash them in
a hard-sided basket or box for travel.
