[Clayart] Clayart Digest, Vol 30, Issue 15

[Alice DeLisle]

My husband jokes that if you have a piece that you can’t sell then you should ship it with insurance using UPS. The odds are you will get a payout for the value of the insurance. I have had them pack and ship, and 3 times they broke the piece and had to pay. Better to pack it well yourself if you want the piece to actually arrive intact.
