Hello Jean;

    Nice to finally meet you, as I'm sure you and I have a great many
    contacts and friends in common in the metalsmithing community. 
    Fredricka Kulicke's post nicely rounds out my previously limited
    information on the origins granulation as it is used by modern
    goldsmiths.  I'm going to go back through my books and look up some
    of the work by yourself and the others mentioned.  And I'd like to
    personally thank you, as I can safely assume that what was taught in
    the Kulicke-Stark school no doubt filtered down to metalsmithing
    students like myself.  You are correct, I believe, concerning Miller.
     I didn't know him to teach the technique formally.  He left a lot of
    hints.  And of course, I am a great fan of his work. 

    I have another thread we could investigate too.  I remember watching
    a Mokume-Gane demonstration put on by Hiroko Sato and Eugene
    Pijanowski back in the early seventies when I was one of Phillip
    Fike's students.   We were actually making the stuff on a coal forge!
     You'd be astounded at how complicated we were making the process. 
    I'm going to risk that they were the first to bring that technique to
    the U.S. and would love to hear other opinions on that.  Thanks
    again, Jean, for your reply. 

Sincerely,
David L. Huffman
