Summary
This episode is a little different from anything that we have done before. Carol Long makes a lot of work, sells a lot of work, and therefore ships a lot of work. When Carol and I were finished recording her episode (episode 894), we continued our conversation. The focus of our conversation was her shipping work practices. Because her work has so many breakable parts, she has had to be very conscientious with her packing methods. So we hit the record button again and talked packing.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Potter's Cast, a podcast home for potters everywhere. It's a community of |
| 0:06.4 | potters dedicated to grow their business. We're picking up where the art degree ends. I'm |
| 0:11.4 | your host, Paul Blaze. Episode number 895 of the Potter's cast has just started. Welcome to the show. Welcome, welcome, welcome. |
| 0:26.2 | Today's not your typical episode that we typically have on the Potter's cast. In fact, |
| 0:32.7 | it's something I've ever done before, where I interview somebody, Carol Long, in the last |
| 0:41.0 | episode, and we talked about her bringing help into the studio, and we got her story as a Kansas |
| 0:48.8 | pot or so on and so forth. Well, when we finished the episode, her and I kept talking and chit-chatting, and we started talking about her shipping process. |
| 1:00.6 | Because if you haven't seen her work, it is well worth going to the last episode's show notes page to look at her work because it's detailed, it's intricate, |
| 1:15.3 | it's got these flourishes coming off of them for handles and details and they are fragile. |
| 1:23.7 | And it's like you've got a solid piece and then a fragile piece and then extra fragile pieces all on the same piece. |
| 1:30.8 | So, anyhow, you'd want to go to her show notes page for the last episode, which would be the potterscast.com forward slash 894, |
| 1:40.2 | and that will let you look at her work to kind of have a greater idea of the shipping challenges |
| 1:48.5 | that she has in sending these pieces to all over the world. |
| 1:54.4 | So we got to talking about this idea of shipping and knowing what she makes and how hard it would be to ship her work, |
| 2:04.3 | I said, let's talk about this further. So we hit the go button and recorded another episode all about |
| 2:13.2 | packing pots. And I thought it was a phenomenal conversation. So that's what the conversation is today. |
| 2:22.0 | And may I say that the show notes page for today goes into some pretty good details. It's got a great |
| 2:30.6 | picture of her, then a picture of some packing tape, and then she sent |
| 2:36.0 | over some pictures of the piece that was going to be shipped, and then her practices of how |
| 2:42.8 | to get these pieces packaged up and sent out the door. And she's got, she's got some, |
| 2:49.0 | some verbiage in there to be able to explain what she's doing |
| 2:52.1 | why she's doing it why does she cut the the box open on this portion and so on and so forth |
