SEND THEM CUT INTO THE WORLD TO DC A GOOD JOB. IF THEY
WERE PLEASANT POTS AND AESTHETICALLY GOOD THIS WAS A
THING CVER WHICH HE HAD NO CONTROL HE DID NOT, I
BELIEVE, MAKE A POT FOR EFFECT. HIS GLAZES FLOWED WITH
THE COLORS COMBINED WITH THEM. HE MIXED COPPER,
COBALT, IRCN, MANGANESE, TIN, ZIRCONIUM, MINE TAILINGS
ETC, WITH HIS CLAY AND SOMETIMES WITH WHITE CLAY FROM
AROUND WILLIAMS LAKE AND GDABBED THIS MIXTURE ONTO THE
GREEN THROWMWARE, IN USE THEY WERE CONSIDERED
ENGOBES. WHEN BISQUE FIRED THEY FUSED SLIGHTLY AND
THE GLAZE, MIXED WITH MORE BODY CLAY, PICKED UP THE
OXIDES AND CREATED A FLOWING EFFECT SOMETHING LIKE THE
ROCKINGHAM FLOW, HE ALSO SPONGED THESE COLORS ON
BISQUE WARE AND HE SOMETIMES FIRED THREE TIMES TO GET
OTHER EFFECTS. | HAVE SEEN STONE WARE GLAZED WITH ALL
THE EFFECTS RECOGNIZED AS DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE ON
HUNDREDS CF POTS MADE BY HIM AND ALL NOT SATISFACTORY
TO HIM BECAUSE THEY DID NOT REACH WHAT HE HAD WANTED.
HARE'S FOCT, OF. SPOTS, REDUCED REDS, CELADON IRONS
REDUCED, ALL OF THESE WHILE BEAUTIFUL IN THEMSELVES
WOULD BE CONSIDERED FAULTY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT
RESEMBLE THE OTHERS OF THEIR BREED. MIND YOU, HE WAS
NOT UNAPPRECIATIVE OF THESE THINGS AND WELL KNEW THETR
VALUE AND SGLD THEM IN CHICAGO AND BEYOND FOR A GOOD
PRICE. HOWEVER IF 99 BUTTER DISHES CAME OUT FLOWING
GREEN AND CNE CAME OUT REDUCED COPPER RED THIS

MEANT THAT IT HAD TO BE MADE AGAIN TO MAKE UP THE
ORDER. THIS I BELIEVE IS ONE CF THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN POTTERY MADE AS A LIVING (A CRAFTSMAN

POTTER) AND POTTERY MADE AS WORKS OF ART BY

ARTISTIC DESIGNING CRAFTSMEN. I CANNOT TELL YOU HI5
VIEW OF THESE ACCIDENTS, AS AT ONE TIME HE WOULD

CROW LIKE A ROOSTER WITH PLEASURE AND ANOTHER TIME
WOULD SCOWL AND WE WOULD GO DOWN THE ROAD FOR A
BEER, WORK IN THE POTSHOP WAS AS IN ALL PRIMITIVE
WORKINGS, A SPASMODIC, CYCLIC AFFAIR. ROUTINE

CHANGES WERE ROUGHLY AS FOLLOWS: THROW, DECORATE,
DRY, GLAZE, LOAD, FIRE, REST, OPEN, EXPRESS
