Thank you so much for the phenomenal support over the past few weeks with online orders. We are presently open on Saturdays during term time and by appointment but our website is still open 24/7. I have lots more lovely stock to add to it as soon as I can finish my tax return too.

📦 HOW TO PACKAGE CERAMICS FOR POSTING

Many moons ago, when I was at Art College, I worked for Gleneagles Crystal in their warehouse, checking and packing wholesale orders. It taught me a thing or two about packaging fragile goods for shipment.

I always use a “double boxing” method of packing. Everything is individually well wrapped - and stuffed if a vase - in bubble wrap (I reuse where possible and always check the wrap is still in good condition with no burst air pockets). I then create a “box” with corrugated board. This is then wrapped again in several layers of bubble wrap and everything is tightly packed in a double-walled corrugated box. Any gaps can be packed out with paper (newsprint will do), bubble wrap or similar. Here I have used an eco friendly sheep wool packing that came with another parcel). The box is then securely taped up and ready to pop on an address and send.

I’m loving the warmth of this painting by Hazel Campbell RSW that has just come into the gallery.

I will be in the studio/gallery today from 10am-4pm. I will have to close very briefly mid morning to wash out screens but please do feel free to come and see what I’m working on.

We are excited to announce that these new colourful “children’s” pigeons have arrived this week. These designs are a perfect addition to our existing stock of Pigeons. Our kids love receiving Pigeons in their stockings to write their thank you letters on. What would you use yours for?
