SCHEMA's the easy way?

I'm planning on dipping my toes into the world of schemata. I have tables,
created in the Public schema, that I'd like to move to the new schema:

SELECT * INTO new.tablename FROM public.tablename;
CREATE SEQUENCE ...;
CREATE INDEX ...;
ALTER TABLE ...;
BLAH ...;
BLAH ...;
BLAH ...;
DROP public.tablename;
REPEAT ...;
REPEAT ...;
REPEAT ...;
VOMIT;

Is there an easier, faster, less user-error-prone way around this?
