With Covid and the first lock down I learn a very important lesson so I have made an agreement with the transporter that I would rent some space in his warehouse to have all my stuff there “ready” to ship. Worst case scenario they might be able to send stuff even if I cannot physically go there to pack. meanwhile the studio for research, design, photography etc… all that is nicely packed into a a small apartment near home– if the district decides to close one another at least I still can work and ship stuff.
