Thank you David Woof, Ron and all, for reiterating that safety is first. I
have one of the coasters with kyanite and glass center perfected in a
factory setting over 25 years by a professional….and i am pondering your
discussion as i sip my morning coffee…. yes the clear-blue glass fractals
and cracks have a differentiation about them from the beautiful cone 10
glazes that surround them… but glaze is also glass…. ever noticed when
copper red doesn’t turn red on one side that it, too, has that same
crackled look on the pots?
Decades ago i made 1 candle holder commission, then got sued because it
dripped onto the customers antique wood table when she used it. Not worth
the hassle.
The integrity to fit a clay with its ‘favorite’ glazes is the high road.
There is so much joy in sharing all good clay items with people new &
returning to buy.
Sincerely,
Kathi Koester
