wow, a ceramicist actually wrote a book about this for other artists!: http://www.flickr.com/photos/potier/237216472/
here's the author's bio (he was previously a surgeon): http://www.pshcanada.com/Toxicology.htm

I just ordered this book.

The title is ; Toxicology: Ceramics Glass and Metallurgy by Edouard Bastarache.

I found it at http://thepottersshop.com/ but I feel I have to warn you the website is a little convoluted to navigate and then tracking down an order form was a just a little troublesome as well.

I suggest opening several tabs while you find your way through the site because back tracking won't always hold on to the some of the side braches of the web pages.

I found it under the -Books-Videos-Tools-
heading in the upper right and had to use my web browser search function to find the book itself in the -Search Full Catalog-
sub heading under the picture of the book shelf.

The price was $53 and the shipping was some $7 or so. They mention something about a 10 or 15 % discount but I will have to wait for the paypal invoice to see how that works out.

I then had to go back to the Books-Videos-Tools page where I cut and pasted the title into the comment area of the order form.

Phoning would probably have been easier but as I am a bit of a night owl most of the time I figured out how to get around trying to remember to order it later. (Remembering is not one of my strong suits.)

I guess I think the knowledge is worth the effort but I will probably let them know how much trouble it is to buy from them when I send the
payment in.



Anyway, I think this particular page has a wealth of information and should be added as a sticky when the moderators get some time.


It doesn't take but a half a dozen breaths of the wrong stuff to change a persons life forever.
