[Clayart] no clayartmail

[Paul Randall]

To all,
The manganese that I use is granular, less dust. I use it in Gosu slip and grind it in a blender wet. The heavy metal still settles to the bottom. Need to stir before use. There is also a finer cut, a powder, but that one I avoid. I did once use granular manganese, sprinkled on a pot. It came out beautifully, but I fired it, one pot in my outdoor gas/wood kiln.

I do use the Gosu slip for brushwork on ^6 electric, vented with Orton Vent Master. I use it sparingly, only a few pots per kiln load.

My jar of Gosu slip is marked with a red skull and crossbones. Beyond the Gosu slip, I avoid Manganese in glazes and clay bodies.

Hi David,

Good to hear from you.

I'm onto a well known professor's blog claiming manganese is not toxic to
potters. Nonsense of course but why is someone who is educating future
potters and teachers ignorant to that extent? He was educated at Alfred and
taught there as well.

I'm sure manganese is what did David Shaner in. In those days we were all
mostly ignorant about the dangers in the clays and glazes.

I used to have a dialogue with Carl Platt about the dangers of barium.
He asked where were all the corpses. I said there was a mountain of dead
rats - how could he miss that?

Anyway, more to come about the manganese and pigheadedness.
