I have a discussion going with a potter with thirty years experience.
I am yet too new at this to conclude the reasons for the following and have never seen this addressed in clayart.
I am currently running cone 6 ox. glaze testing and comparing them with a friends glaze tests. I live at 2000 feet above sea level in Tennessee
and she lives at 30 feet in Florida. The glaze recipes are the same,
the kilns are the same and the firing methods and times are the same. Most of the glaze tests she makes have brighter, more vivid colors than mine.
The 30 year potter that is advising us said he could not get the vivid
colors when he lived in North Carolina that he can get now that
he is living in Florida. He said it's is a difference in oxygen levels.
He tends to be a jokester.......Is there any truth to this?
I hate being gullible.....

Where several white tail does are grazing on the corn I put in the woods for them to deter them from my azaleas. So far for the last three years it has worked....Not sure if it will hold for the elk they are releasing in the state though.
Skunk was digging in my garden in broad daylight yesterday.
He showed no interest in leaving when I came out the door and said hello.
Crisp cold air, but sunny and bright. I still miss the warm sun and the swaying palm trees of the Florida Keys.....
