• I should mention beforehand that you, as well as Insight, have become the “go to” reference for all technical aspects of my work and those of other potters I know. It has become an invaluable resource. Congratulations on your academic approach to everything ceramic.

• We love your work with Digital Fire. You've single handedly breathed life into many, many ceramics companies through your generous approach to sharing information. I can't tell you how valuable we have found your content to be. Thank you.

• I don't know who you are but you are 100% awesome. I didn't know anything about glazes and clays but then I stumbled upon your site and it is a gift to the world. I wanted to thank you.

• I am a long time admirer of your ceramics data base and teach at ... University.

• If, like Japan, Canada had a custom of selecting certain artisans as “national treasures“ you would certainly qualify - not only for your expertise as a ceramic chemist, but for your compassion for us less expert potters!
