Fernhill Studio Journal

Notes from a small pottery studio

A vase wrapped in paper inside a box filled with recycled packing

How we pack pottery so it arrives whole

3 October 2025 by Ade Bello ยท Shipping

Every order is packed by Ade, who has a rule: if it rattles, it is not finished.

Each vase is wrapped in two layers of kraft paper and sits in a small box padded with shredded paper from the studio. That box goes inside a larger one with a hand's width of padding on every side.

Before it is taped, the box gets a firm shake. Nothing should move. If something does, it is opened and packed again.

No plastic goes into a Fernhill parcel, and every piece of packing can go in the recycling.
