• Looking at your website, I have no doubts that there is no other person that would be so dedicated to the subject as you. It is a fact that you have a truly unique knowledge of how things are done, the materials and chemistry being used in such processes. Frankly, I do not complement people and their work easily but you are one of a kind person with some divine dedication to the technology. There are very few people like you and that is a fact. I just spoke with several so-called ceramics, frits and glazes experts and I have to say that they had somewhat limited knowledge while you cover incredibly wide spectrum of all affairs involved in to working with all those great materials.

• Over the past year, I have come to appreciate just how much knowledge, dedication, and generosity went into building this incredible resource. To know that you spent over 35 years compiling, testing, documenting, and sharing glaze information with the ceramics community is truly remarkable. Potters like myself have benefited immensely from the work you have done. The thought of such a vast collection of knowledge becoming inaccessible is honestly heartbreaking. In a world where reliable ceramic information can be difficult to find, the glaze directory has been an invaluable reference point for both beginners and experienced potters alike.

• On a small aside. I want to thank you for all the work you have done over the years, firstly to inspire people like myself to see the technical side of ceramics as such a beautiful side of the art and not just a finished result that was lucky. And on that note with how much I read your blog, waiting for daily posts, reading all the old articles again and again, I see your mugs with the wheat grass on them all time, and was wondering if you ever put them up for sale. It's been an icon of my learning and would love to have one of the infamous mugs themselves.

• Awesome program you have!

• Your website and program have been a priceless resource for me on my journey to understanding glazes.
