My heartfelt thanks to Stephanie for the Glaze Dance Party Allegory,
I've asked her in a private email to elaborate on it.
Glaze is finally making sense.
I'm up to my tush in frits, fluxes and feldspar I can't see straight,
and I am wading through the book RR, but it's good.

After I wrote to Ms. S. I realized she might think it was part of the recent
virus.
I've seen it in the past and it was called a 'worm' but I forget the species,
yes, it does eat it's way through an address book and generate mail.

Wish it would generate it's tail through my drying room at school and
multiply the pots, jar, plates and tiles I've been making.

I've zeroed in on three glazes to try;
one from Tig,
one from RR and
another from frogpond.
Now to generate enough work to fill one of the kilns at school.
No test kiln, darn!

I've also found the archives and whoa, have I hit the mother lode or what?

Thank you Elca and Alisa re: finding your own path and methods,
there is no set rule for everyone,
that's why clay IS magical, it's the great mother speaking all round the
world.

This is my learning modality also -- asking questions.
Thanks for your patience.
Jonathan in LA,
where we don't have weather -- we have climate.
