• 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.

• I'm accepting the challenge. First: find/develop a good base recipe. One for clear and one for celadon. Then add the colors. And play with "surface." Experiment. Keep impeccable notes. Change one variable at a time. Yada, yada.

• Tony - thank you so much! The information that you directed me is better than I could have imagined. I it has helped me learn more about how to drive a glaze formula design toward outcome objectives.

• I wish to thank you for letting people like me use the information you have on the endless glaze articles you do, for free. Yes I am embarrassed not contributing but sadly currency exchange rates makes payment at the moment way out of my league. However, should you prefer I don't use your amazing site please let me know. Again my thanks for the glaze education I am getting from you.

• You are brilliant .. You have provided so much info that is great. I have been a full time potter for 44 years and am still learning. Thank you so much for your generosity in sending this very pertinent information to me. It certainly has me thinking I should sign on to Digital Fire. Thanks again.
