Another story
When I started to use the computer in 1998, I tried to download and run a ceramic
software.
The only one I succeeded was The Glaze Simulator Version.
Yehuda Koren my good adviser and good friend this days, was mad at me calling him
twice a week to the shop for too many novice's questions.
My help came from Canada
The Magic Of Fire by Tony Hansen. Mainly part one.
This book is a deep but not too deep, you can find anything you need, to remind you I
used at that time The Glaze Simulator. The Magic of Fire is connected to Insight but
has it's own life if I may say so!
After buying lately the bad E book "Ceramic Wares and Ceramic Raw Materials"
which I deleted already, I got my lesson and started to read the good e-book of Tony
Hansen this time page by page.
A good book is a book you open after you are done reading it and a good book can
teach you a lot when you are a novice as well as a glaze addict!
I am in C now testing some Chrome glazes "Peacock" Yes I grew them,not hard. Tin
chrome too ( No animal with a similar name).
Highly recommended!
