First let me say that I have been a lurker on Clayart for a long time now
and, although I am strictly a hobby potter, I have found some of the
information that I have gleaned from the list to be invaluable and to have
saved me a great deal of time and effort in some cases.
What I would like to know is if anyone has found any e-texts on pottery
regarding form, glazes or even equipment that can be downloaded. Living in a
city nearly devoid of pottery classes and potters I have had to learn most of
what I know from books but I have found that I have now exhausted the
resources of the local library.
Thank you in advance,
Stephan

I have found a book entitled, The Magic of Fire, but I'm not sure but i
believe you can download it at:
http:www.memlane.com/business/imc/imc.html
If that doesn't work go to infoseek or some other machine and do a web
search for IMC (that is the company that sponsors the book) I haven't read
it all the way but it seems to have a lot of the chemistry that you really
don't get from trial and error. Good Luck
