marcia, or someone will you please dig out the
permanent copper matt raku glaze for me.
we are at the farm and the two best notebooks
are far from us.

we need a sparky copper for charles pierce...he
is doing 14 inch letters of clay, laminated to a canvas
with silocon....

farm is going well, very crowded, but good things
going on.

have some more breakdown in the salt kiln, will have to
do some veneer work with fibre and itc.
old soft brick not doing well in the flameway.
but, we are at firing 62, and now it is breaking down with
just itc spray...need the fibre.

so, send to me, or the list...will find the recipe.

So now I need to know what you use for applying a repair patch of Fiber
(I have to repair my door of the Bailey fiber kiln. I got fiber need
glue recipe.
I got the raku kiln for school finished. I can use it for local
workshops. I am also working on my car raku kiln which I am planning to
have bolt together (except for bed of car) so that I can fire big slabs
for workshops on the road. Have fun. Give my best to Dannon. I am
leaving Wed. for the La Meridiana. will only be home for 10 days between
mow and Oct. 1. -residency in Iceland is sponsered by the town of
Hafnarfjordor. Other countries (and Minnesota) seem to love to sponsor
art as an important part of life. (at least I hope it is true for Minn.)
