Ralph,
thank you for reminding me of the hazardous effects. I thought pitfiring
was a lowfire thing and i did not realise you had to stay around it all the
time. There is no swedish/english dictionary for ceramics! The firing I did
using this salt/coppersolution was outside and the temperature did not get
that high and I would have thought the amounts of salt were too small to
cause any harm. Also we did not have to stand close to the firing that
often. I will be more careful the next time, both when I write and when I
fire.
If anyone has something to say to me about this, please e-mail me
privately, because I am pausing clayart right now of reasons that might be
obvious as I did not read Ralphs message until now. I have hundreds of
unread messages...
