HELLOOOO CLAYART,
This sterotypical potter blue bashing has gone on long enough. Just
because its the easiest color for a potter to make doesn't mean you can't
make a good blue pot. It takes strugle and dedication to become a good
potter and I guess when something comes easy we don't like it (ie. blue
glazes, electric kiln oxidation firings, talent). People will buy
anything, so if they aren't buying your brown pots find somewhere else to
sell them. I make a lot of pots and some of them end up blue, some even
hunter green, and I don't mind doing the glaze tests to keep up with the
public's color trends. I also happen to have a great cone 5 real purple
matt that breaks lite blue on the edges (Oh my! what a sell out). My point
is that good pots and bad pots come in all shapes, sizes AND colors so
give shiny blue a break.

Hi, I'm hoping you will share this too. I have a ^10 which I have posted to
this list in the past as "C-Purple" which, I now know originated in Ceramics
Monthly a few years ago and was posted again as "Durango Purple". It's for
reduction only to get purple. Unfortuantely, my favorite is "Scrap-A" aka
"I Wonder A" so much for the formula; it also brakes light blue. Any change
we can have the ^5 and you can tell us oxidation or reduction? Oh, I
survived my teapot show "Tea Party" yesterday and the show will run for
three months here in Astoria OR where, you guessed it it's STILL raining.
Emily.
