i have a hunch, just a hunch that any glaze
that an artist potter can make up...a decent
ceramic engineer can duplicate and make better.
i do not think we have secrets any longer.
open your glaze book...give it away.
dare anyone to make your pots.
and if they do, so be it.

just loaded a kiln with all temmoku.
ron roy taught us all how to do that.
he just gives it away.

Steven Branfman, writes in his new raku book, that giving
away your glaze can just help you as it can be improved and coming back
better.
I have three major reasons to "spread my recipes, first your way
of saying as well as Steven's words.
The second reason, I need feedback to my work and the third which it is
not less important is to know that there is an archive that keeps my
glazes. I have used it already several times when I lost different
recipes or asked some questions off list.
I was asked sometimes how nice of me to give away my recipes, They
meant mostly Bherenses's Marty Anderson's Or Oil spots which are
definitely not mine. Wan you will see my glaze tests you will be
astonishes. Will my T pot be beautiful if I do not know how to do it?
Will your piece will sell better than mine if you have my glazes but
not the sensitivity to know when to push on the spay gun and when to
hold?
Anyone can read my letters, in Israel too. He can by the same
claybodies I buy he can duplicate my simple shapes. Can he duplicated
my touch?
Do I have a twin? (No)
I just wan,tee cannot force, the way David Hewitt wrote me once.
