I'm inquiring for a potter friend who has been teaching and working with
potters in Guatemala. He is looking to find anyone who may be around
the Michigan area doing lectures or teaching in this area of pottery
and glazes. He is particulary concerned with environmental issues. I
was alarmed when he told of these people and how they were grinding
their own lead by mule and wheel, arms blackened by the lead dust, and
apparently unaware of the dangers.

Has anyone any knowledge or could offer some help?
Send e-mail to am294@detroit.freenet.org

Thanks.
