Comments on: How To Package Works http://kirstyhall.co.uk/2007/09/23/how-to-package-works/ Artist & Purveyor Of Mad Obsessive Projects Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tina Mammoser http://kirstyhall.co.uk/2007/09/23/how-to-package-works/comment-page-1/#comment-150 Tina Mammoser Mon, 24 Sep 2007 08:51:28 +0000 http://kirstyhall.co.uk/blog/artists/2007/09/how-to-package-works/#comment-150 Great post! We often take for granted that gallery folk know the same things we do about our mediums. Encaustic is quite fragile but the gallery owners I know, in smaller local galleries, wouldn't necessarily know what it was. Even with acrylic paintings I find I have to insist or remind them that even acrylics, which seem so easy to handle, cannot be left face to face as they can stick together in hot or humid environments. Fortunately my damages have been very few, and have been repairable. If including instructions I'd also make a copy to attach or put with the consignment note, since sometimes your packing materials might not necessarily be the ones used to send pieces back and pieces of paper with delivery can easily get lost.
