well at least i'm in good company....and i thought everything i ever =
needed
to know about ceramics was in his handbook which i got a few years ago =
by
emailing him.......i guess he left a few things out so we could discover
them for ourselves.....like was recently stated "there is nothing new =
under
the sun"
still i was the first in my neighborhood HEHEHEHEHE
BTW Val's handbook is better than seashells for ribs; if that is
possible .....i highly recommend it to anyone who works clay
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all
