  1. i contacted you a few months ago and am just following up (after you told me to email you after May)– sorry! i run a non-profit called Round the Bend Farm, a Center for Restorative community and we’d love to have you speak here in Dartmouth, MA. also hire you for a consultation. thx

  2. Hi, I live in McMinnville, Oregon and am interested in a consult with you. Would you please let me know how to get in touch or email regarding a consult? I have a large collection of vintage dishes and am currently pregnant with my first child. Thank you so much!

    1. Oh – Hi again, Kat!

      I will look for your e-mail or text! I have not been doing Oregon home consults recently, but can check in with you via PM and keep you posted as to when I am available to do those again (hopefully will re-start doing Oregon home visits later this year – 2019!)

  3. Hello. I just found you site after researching for dishes that are durable. I am blown away and amazed by what is being sold to consumers with misleading information. Are you ever in the Atlanta area. I may be interested in doing a home party.

  4. Hello, I am located in Nashville and would be interested in having you over to our home. Please let me know how we can make that happen and if you are doing any events over here. Thank you.

  5. Thank you for your informative site! Please let me know when you’re planning on coming out to LA. We would love to have you test our stuff!

  6. I’ve been struggling with lead poisoning ever since I tested positive for lead poisoning.
    I would like to email you a letter with a few questions about how you might be able to arrange a consult? I live in Maine and have a few suggestions as to ways you may be able to do some consulting via Zoom or email. I look forward to hearing from you.

  7. Dear Tamara,
    Thank you so much for your work! I live in Auburn, Washington, so we are “neighbors” and I am currently taking the Fundamentals Course from Wardee Harmon where your work was referenced. I am so concerned about my health. I am 66 years young – however now have time to devote to proper food preparation and realized that perhaps my cooking classes over the years as well as purchases did not consider the lead and other toxic metals. I want to contact a friend who perhaps would be able to come to my home with some of her items and perhaps we can get a small group of neighbors and her followers to make it worth your stay? Perhaps a day or two in our area? Are you still traveling and working during CoViD-19? Perhaps in February sometime? I will be traveling to California in March and April and also was wondering if I could take a few items to your office (work at home) and pay for the evaluation of a few key pieces? or the six as you state? Or just pay for the amount of time it takes? It seems there are so many items; I am thinking best to come to my home. Your website, I must admit has now “scared” me a bit more than I wanted to know. However, in general glass is ok and bone china is ok, too? We bought our new home in 2013 here in Auburn and purchased from Macy’s “Home Collection” white bone china mugs and dinner ware. However, I enjoy vintage and have purchased items from Gold Castle “occupied Japan” as well as having green, blue, yellow and orange Fiestaware. Also, a few pieces of “Erica” from Lenox teacups and actually a coffee pot; and Block Spal from Portugal in Lisboa White. And a few other white ceramic cups from China and Portugal. Plus, my mom’s entire “formal ware” is from Franciscan in Desert Rose, I even purchased a few items to add to her set. We would drink out of the creamy-colored glasses of ceramic whenever we had company the entire time that I was growing up! I am afraid to drink out of my items now. At any rate, could you please let me know if best to schedule a review in my home? Or take some items to your home on my way to CA? or let me know if you are even doing any work now due to CoViD-19? Thank you so much for your work!! And a big thank you to Wardee Harmon of Traditional Cooking School which has brought up this issue and let me know about you and your wonderful, useful, important and great work.

  8. Dear Tamara,
    Just a quick follow-up to my lengthy message of just a few minutes ago:
    I use several different types of cookware, in which I have invested in over the years: All Clad Stainless steel cookware set with exposed ring of aluminum around the top edge of most pans. Le Creuset enameled in color of “Bone” and also a few other pieces that my husband has purchased in non-stick which he likes to use and I do not.
    And now I will be using the Cast Iron “plain” skillet and prepare it with the proper method for seasoning which I learned on the Traditional Cooking School website. I recently started the class and our topic in the 2nd lesson is Tools.
    Thank you again.
    Most sincerely, Dee

  9. Hi Tamara,

    I live in Bellingham, WA. – are you ever in this area?! I would be interested in a home visit.

    Thanks

  10. I just posted, but also had a question of where I should order lead testing sticks from?

    thanks again
