It lets me indulge the left side of my brain as well as my right. ;-D <br /><br />You've given a very interesting synopsis here, Matt! Great job! Makes me wish I lived close enough to take one or two of your courses... I'll be you're a great teacher.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875350172299857906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216370437384092286.post-83349193206759144932009-08-02T23:04:07.878-04:002009-08-02T23:04:07.878-04:00I guess my point was that kilns weren't talked...I guess my point was that kilns weren't talked about at all in any of my classes in a manner that made me feel comfortable with them. I did miss out on a kiln-building class during my time at the U, which was only offered since the dept was moving to a newly remodeled building IIRC. <br /><br />So I'll take any kind of info I can get :)pcNielsenhttp://pcnielsen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216370437384092286.post-28415560419579256522009-08-02T01:36:10.739-04:002009-08-02T01:36:10.739-04:00I'm really enjoying and learning a lot from th...I'm really enjoying and learning a lot from this series, clean and concisely written, thanks so much, looking forward to the next installment.<br /><br />I've always said cooking is chemistry, adding particular ingredients in the right proportions, preparing in the correct manner, and cooking appropriately brings about a good food result, souffle, cake, bread, sauces, candy come to mind.

Luckily here in Alfred, we have a guy who knows all that. <br /> But the notion of what clay goes through when it is fired and why cone 10 is cone 10 and 04 is 04 I think are not well understood.Matthew Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576916788056882343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216370437384092286.post-4867352677336588992009-07-31T14:29:35.074-04:002009-07-31T14:29:35.074-04:00Great series.

I thought very highly of the ceramics dept. at the University of Nebraska where I graduated from in 01, but the one week point seemed to be on kilns and how they worked.pcNielsenhttp://pcnielsen.comnoreply@blogger.com
