Ron Roy Testimonials

Ron has been associated with Digitalfire Corp. since its beginning, he was worked tirelessly in promoting our products with little financial reward. We have received many testimonials from his students who praise him for his contagious enthusiasm and teaching ability.

For example, Bob Kavanagh said this:

"I've been making pots for a touch over 24 years and continue to enjoy it tremendously. There are always new artistic and technical challenges. One of the challenges which has recently come along, is the use of computer programs to help with the chemical analyses of glazes for the potter's use. I normally have avoided the chemical and mathematical side of glaze calculation and experimentation because I didn't have the knowledge or tools with which to incorporate them.

After taking a Ron Roy workshop on the ceramics calculation computer program "Insight", I've plunged headlong into this new venture and have enjoyed myself in a way I would never have imagined when tackling glaze chemistry. It has added considerable precision to my ongoing experimentation. I have always done a great deal of experimenting with glazes, and Ron's workshop provided me with precise help in using the "Insight" program to supplement what I do.

The basics of the Insight program are fairly straightforward, which is important for me because I tend not to be very technically oriented at the level of chemical thinking. Ron's workshop presented them in a way which immediately made sense to me. The day after the workshop I was already using the program to design new glazes. The subsequent experiments I've done have shown that the chemical analysis with "Insight" has saved me a fair amount of time and trouble.

I highly recommend these workshops and the program. Here we have insightful tool for developing part of our craft; in addition, we have the pleasure of seeing clays and glazes from yet another point of view. Give it a try!"
