Nice to know you are out there to lend us a hand. You are very much appreciated by this potter and many more, I am sure.
Your web is great!
Your sight ROCKS.
In the meantime I downloaded the book. It was an interesting reading without any stop. That was exactly what I was looking for. I will start my work after my summer vacation and see what I will be able to achieve. Based on the given information I hope to be able to create something.
This is a fantastic source of on-line information. Thank you for permitting me to access the contents.
After a lot of testing of various glazes I've decided he's overdue for sainthood.
omg i just discovered your page this is like breaking bad for ceramics, learning how to cook. this is a great page thanks !
Thanks for your time. It's impressive to get this kind of customer service.
As I read this I am thinking wow, what a great article, so useful and I love the details of the pictures.
Just wanted to share the good news with you. Couldn't be doing it without all the help you have given us over the years!

Your website is like a encyclopedia for ceramics, whatever problem I have I first go to your website and refer to it and learn and understand about it. Thank you so much for your patience and time for helping.
Brilliant!
I would like to honour my commitment to the great work you do. It is an invaluable resource! Just a huge thank you!
I am a Brazilian potter and, despite my difficulty with the English language, I have learned a lot from this site. I want to thank you very much for the immense help you give me in the "most difficult times".
I am truly grateful for the remarkable resource you have built for the community.
On a small aside. I want to thank you for all the work you have done over the years, firstly to inspire people like myself to see the technical side of ceramics as such a beautiful side of the art and not just a finished result that was lucky. And on that note with how much I read your blog, waiting for daily posts, reading all the old articles again and again, I see your mugs with the wheat grass on them all time, and was wondering if you ever put them up for sale. It's been an icon of my learning and would love to have one of the infamous mugs themselves.
Insight live is great...!
I join others (I'm sure) in thanking Tony for the incredible resource that is the digital fire library, and for the insight glaze calculation software and now website. Not a week goes by when I don't use all three of them and usually quite extensively.
First i'd love to thank you for all the info you provide on digitalfire. it is an absolutely amazing resource and the way that you explain glaze chemistry/reactions has really helped expand my practice...I crave understanding and wisdom.
Renewed today, your site is invaluable to me. I will continue to re-up until they take the sponge out of my cold hand! Thanks.
