a very mixed bag. very.
and difficult to work with at best.
as i do, whenever i publish an article...i publish
all of my research...i expect people to use it.
but, where they mine anyway?
rhodes, temmoku, ? perhaps the orange.
malcolm, pete, ron, and think of what has come from alfred
..they have given freely of their ideas.
i do not hear them complain when they see their glazes
winning prizes at shows. but, they do like a bit of credit for
their research.
but, what i hated, was to see my stuff come back
in an article....listing `HER` glazes.
it all came right out of my article. dead on same.
she even used the same combos on her pots...photographed
them...then published them.
if recipes are published, it is assumed that they are for
public consumption. not re/publication.
as moderator of clayart i rarely have sources to work from
that allow me to know who's are what. i depend on the
integrity of the sender. that is all we can expect.
we cannot re/publish on clayart copyrighted materials.
just cannot. will not.
but, if i do not know, or the sender is not giving information
about sources...we are screwed.
it goes back to the old saw...`give credit, all the time`.
don't make into yours, someone else's ideas.
only the weak and insipid try to take other people's
art and ideas...copy and pound their chests and say/
`see what i can do`.
just like.
`hey everybody, i was mentioned in a magazine...all go look.`
let others beat the drum.

Hello mel:
Yes, this can be a bit of a bother.
There's a guy who lives nearby that is very happy to stick his name on
other folks work. He's done it so many times that he's no longer taken
seriously. The real downside here is that he really has a lot of facility
for working with clay. He would just never apply himself to developing his
own forms, glazes, and aesthetic repertoire. So it goes!
I've seen other people's names on numerous versions of Virginia Wirt's
University Carbon Trap Shino for more than 25 yrs now. Same basic
composition: Neph Sy, Soda Spar, Spod, EPK, OM4, Soda ash. The
percentages are just slightly adjusted and viola! It's now become Carl
Bob's Ultra Carbon Trap Shino. What are you gonna do?
