Potters are a passionate bunch. Some have passion for the process, the technique, the result,  the product, and some the technical. Finding the balance  that turns knowledge into information requires a learned skill set of its own. Some of us find the technical every bit as joyous as the perfectly formed piece. Just like any glaze: application is everything. And just like a favorite piece, you want to share it.
