transporting greenware

. One of the easiest methods I have discovered for carting greenware over short distances is to use inflated balloons to hold the various pieces in place while in transit. . For transporting fragile (especially bone-dry ware) over longer distances, pour a couple of inches of vermiculite (available at garden centers and drywall supply stores) into a box and lay a large sheet of thin plastic material (dry cleaner bags) on the vermiculite bed. then place the greenware piece in the center, bunch the plastic up over the piece and fill the box with vermiculite. The vermiculite can be removed from around the piece with a small hand vacuum, or it can be saved for reuse. With this method, you are able to transport even the most delicate pieces with ease. --
