Was flipping through a second edition of "The Potter's Craft" by
Charles Binns and came across this passage:
"Kilns and burning form the pivot upon which the art of the potter
turns. M. Doat has said"A potter can no more express himself without
his kiln than can a violinist without his violin," and yet there are
some who try to make out by sending their work to some nearby pottery
to be burned. Let it be at once understood that he who finds it
impossible to procure and manage a kiln had best take to some other
craft."
This was written in 1922. Sound like some conversations recently?
