To all,
The danger of Manganese lies in inhaling fumes during the firing. Those fumes I’m sure affected Shaner and killed Byron Temple, among others. Use Manganese sparingly and in a well-ventilated studio.

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.

You can almost see the corn growing up here - RR
