martha- i went to a steven hill workshop at the ceramic supply shop in pittsburgh, pa. it was a great and informative experience. i asked him specifically if i could add his glaze recipes on this site. his answer was "no". he wishes at some time in the future to write a book and feels it would be wrong for those of us who paid for his class and expertise to freely give out these glazes. i think we should respect his wishes and work with them ourselves, but not to give them out to the general public. i know this sounds harsh but i think that those of us who attended his workshops should behave as was he wishes.
