• You have done more for the advancement of ceramic knowledge than anyone I can think of. Thanks again! The information you provide and the work you have done is invaluable. I can't tell you how many problems I have solved because of insight and the reference library! Thanks again for all of the help you have provided.

• I love all the tips and insight live is a lot of fun as well as being an amazing tool. Thanks

• I have found your website to be extremely helpful because of your analysis of glaze chemistry and other information too. I have been able to mix all my own glazes and troubleshoot with the information you provide. I want you to know how much you're helping fellow potters all over the country and I truly appreciate your generosity in sharing the information.

• Tony, we've never met, but I want to chime in with the many others who have contacted you, telling you how important your work has been to the ceramics community over the years. I am a potter today because of people who took me under their wing and showed me everything they know for the love of the craft, and because they believed in access to knowledge and education for all who want to work in clay. The spirit of the ceramics community is with people like you who do it for the love of the craft, and money second (which is not to say you aren't deserving of plenty of the second as well). Your program is an instrument of democracy, as funny as that may sound. In a world of paywalls, you make information available to all.

• Most people would lose the ability to troubleshoot how to problem-solve issues with Plainsman Clays without your documentation.
