In this behind-the-scenes video, I’m packing up a small pug mug order and walking you through the exact way I ship my ceramics from my cozy New Mexico studio. I’m very much a “knock on wood” kind of person, but so far I haven’t had anything break in transit, and a big part of that is sticking to a consistent packing routine. I share what boxes I use, how I cushion the mug, and the little steps I don’t skip—even for a single item—because ceramics are just not forgiving if they get tossed around. I also talk through the packing supplies I reach for (like paper tape and decomposable packing peanuts) and why I like them, plus a few small touches that make the package feel more finished. If you’ve ever wondered how pottery sellers keep mugs safe in the mail, this is basically my real-life packing station workflow—simple, repeatable, and focused on protecting the handle and rim. By the end, you’ll have a clear idea of how to build a snug, shock-absorbing box so your work arrives the way it left your studio.
