• I simply want to let you know that the digitalfire reference library is a treasure. Every time I look it up I learn something new, and I have a hard time to tear myself away. I have a number of books on my shelf, but if I had to choose just one reference source, it would be digitalfire. There is an enormous amount of work behind all the entries in the library. For me, it has enriched my practice and helped me advance in a way that cannot be measured.

• Your work is so thorough and helpful Tony. When I read your articles I suddenly feel I know nothing, despite working professionally with ceramics since 1997!

• I have not been potting for nearly 20 years. Your website is an oracle. Thank you.

• It’s been now a couple of weeks that I learn everyday with you and your amazing project. I find your way of tackling experiments clear, practical and smart. I wish more quality content like yours was available on all of my interest topics!

• If, like Japan, Canada had a custom of selecting certain artisans as “national treasures“ you would certainly qualify - not only for your expertise as a ceramic chemist, but for your compassion for us less expert potters!
