Hi, Olga!

My apprentice, Lady Artemesia came back from Pennsic
and gave me a beautiful, well-made pitcher of yours.
I was thrilled with it.

Can you make fry pans from clay without having to
worry about them exploding from thermal shock?  I had
a long e-mail discussion with Hroar about this and he
said that ceramics and direct flame don't mix.  How do
you make your fry pans to compensate for this?
