i again say, if you are using simple glazes....
feldspar
silica
calcium carb (lime)
and some iron...what in the hell is wrong with putting
it on your lawn?
those are the same things that come in a bag of scott's
fertilizer. only much cleaner.
how in blazes would silica harm anything when mixed
with your flowers?
some get eco crazy. why in hell would i fire 5 lbs of
glaze and waste that fuel?
and, how much is thrown out..?? a lb. spread over
an acre.?
these are natural earth chemicals, mined from our
earth...natural clay. you mean i cannot put clay
on my roses? i would pollute?
i am sure no one would put ten pounds of white lead
on their lawn...or ten pounds of barium.
we would take that to a chemical re/cycle site.
our city will take anything like that. but, a quart of
temmoku? mixed with water....on my flowers.
hell the bone ash would do wonders to the flowers.
and, i do not have anything in my studio i could not
eat. kaopectate. i would never keep barium, manganese, lead
in my studio...be a fool to do it. and anyone that uses those
chemicals had better know what they are, and how to
dispose of them. or, they are fools.
sometimes we have to use our brain.
understand what we have..how to re use it in
our own environment.

i just dried four old gallons of paint. hard as rock.
filled a five gallon pail of old oil, old turpentine, dirty anti/freeze
and took it to the city re/cycle center. do we dump that
in the sewer?...no.
i do not put clay and glaze into the sewer system.
