Just say no to poison

I haven't written here much because I've been at school doing an independent study on glaze chemistry. CL and I are hoping to give OCAD better glazes than the ones they've had for years.

A fine example: "Frosting", a low-fire glaze that gives you a soft white effect - great for students who want to bring back the Bauhaus - but soluble if you soak it in everyday acids like vinegar...not good.

So we're hoping to enable design students to make ceramics that aren't covered in poison. Neat.
