What do you like about this subject? I love the feel of clay, especially natural clays. There is a great excitement of working with raw materials used to create glazes and finalizing the process with a good firing. I love working with novice and advanced potters, offering my skills and experience in pottery and glaze calculation.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am currently working on developing blueprints for a car kiln and temperature controlled drying cabinets.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Did you know that the term pottery and the term ceramics have been used interchangably for many years, but that they are really two separate forms of art?
