Class! Some have it, some don't!
Some display class and others just don't! My daughter Robin showed up this weekend to my new digs with a bottle of champagne and a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers. Yes, that is a Matt Scheimann jug, Dan Murphy vase and smaller one by Lindsay Oestritter. Nice company for Robin's flowers. I'm proud of you Robin. You display class!!! You were raised well.
Today I delivered some of my pink shino to a gallery I sell at to be told by the manager that there had been an anonymous complaint about my pink shino. A shino glaze with 2% pink stain in it for a colourant. The pink according to the supply house is 1% zirconium encapsulated cadmium and 9% zircopax. Why didn't anonymous contact me so we could have some dialogue? So now I have to dig up documentation and send off a sample of the glaze to BSC Labs in Pennsylvania at a cost of $50 USD. I will do it though as I think there is just too much of this witch hunting going on that is putting back the advancement of ceramics thousands of years.
I wear my scars on my chest and not on my back. Cowards run and hide anonymously. I write this blog and express myself publicly not anonymously. I am certainly
not always right but you know who I am and how to get in touch with me.

I had someone question the lithium content of a glaze once. Then I did some sums and checked with a friend in healthcare. She confirmed that even if all the lithium were released as lithium carbonate (which if course it wouldn't be by the time it is combined in a glaze) it would be way less than a single day's dose given to someone to a person with bipolar disorder.
