Friends!

What's the latest poop on substitutes? I had not been paying attention
until the last bag was opened. About half of our 20 cone 10 glazes at
Clayworks in Binghamton, NY use it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't GB a substitute for something else many
years ago? Lead I believe...

Is anyone planing to pick up the mining operations, or is it too
prohibitively costly?
