• 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.

• After more than 50 years making pots, selling and teaching I’m done. Worn to a frazzle. Just wanted to let you know that over the years I’ve relied on you for information on materials and glazes. I’ve never been disappointed, and I owe you a big thanks. I’m over 80 and I need to slow down. I’ll continue making pottery, but not so much. I’ve been at it since 1968 (phew!). I thank you for your advice and especially for your website and its cascading information. Always useful, always on target. I’m only sad that I was not able to meet you in person. Peace, love and happiness.

• I'm definitely a fan, I can see how hyper-focused you are on ceramics and it's nice to learn from you, but also I like the intensity, you've been doing this for decades. I'm kind of curious if you're autistic too, your level of focus is unusual for neurotypical folk. Anyhow, thank you for your research and hard work. They have benefited me a great deal, and a lot of the things I've learned from you I haven't seen elsewhere.

• I work at a small, but rapidly growing custom slip-cast studio. The first few years were a learning curve gauntlet that, in retrospect, I am surprised we exited intact. This preface is to give a sense of how in debt I am to your research and hard work. I have had to learn as I go along, and the information you provide at digitalfire.com has been indispensable, and, quite frankly, an excellent cover for my ignorance on countless occasions! It is also the only source of information about many ceramics topics that I feel I can trust, knowing that it has been backed up with careful consideration and testing. Thank you again.

• Yet again, you provide a quick answer not easily found elsewhere (a bowl was befuddling me with wall cracks that never made it to any edges.)
