I am being a really good person here, against my principles.
A very nice person asked me to post the "other" Yeh recipes from CM 3/95 =
and so, while I told vnp that I do not like to do this, I will this =
time. My point is not that I mind copying recipes...but, as with =
RonJohn's book, if we all copy recipes from books in large number, then =
there is no incentive for people to buy the books.
In this case Ceramics Monthly IS available in libraries, and if it is =
not, then potters asking for it will make them subscribe. Also, =
libraries, unfortunately do NOT get all magazines on microfilm and do =
NOT necessarily keep back volumes....so it behooves us to encourage them =
to do so....
However. =20

And, I, who know nothing about reduction fire, was astonished to see =
zinc in some R glazes.

Island College for a Summer, Invited by Harris Deller, taught at =
Southern Illinois University. Invited by Yih Wen Kuo at Northern =

are lucky people who met this amazing glaze master....
And that is all.
