• Your site is great! It is so good to have your site as I venture into making my food-safe glazes. I live in São Paulo, Brazil, so the raw materials here naturally can be very different from the ones in most of the books and websites, as we don't have much of that available here. So your site is the only that I have found so far that is really helpful if you want to start from scratch, so thank you! Its like my dream as a potter to make beautiful, lasting and safe ware so your website and insight-live are invaluable sources of information for me. I am so glad to be able to work with this! I really admire your work and tell my students about your website. Here in Brazil, studio ceramics is not a very developed area. Many people don not even know/care about being precise and knowledgable about safety with glazes. So your website is like an oasis in the tropical desert.

• First I want to thank you for the service you're providing the ceramics community at large.

• You have such a brilliant analytical mind, able to find solutions to many ceramic problems. You have accomplished so much in your life, helping us potters understand what we are doing. I cannot thank you enough for your vast ceramic reference library online. I think you are a national treasure.

• I'll feel sorry for the world when you're no longer around to produce such content.

• I am a long time fan. I bought your downloadable book long ago and still refer to it frequently. Has bunches of my notes in it too. It expanded my college training with glaze chem. Appreciate you.
