I've never done one of Steven's workshop, but some of the glazes Steven uses
have been published or posted here on Clayart. As you can see, some of these
are other peoples glaze recipes that he uses. Hope these suit your needs.

Here is one called Laura's Turquoise cone 10 single fire.

I believe the clay he uses is B-Mix, a plastic cone 10 white body.
I tested Stony Blue in my little test kiln (not a good indicator) and on the
porcelain slip it came out an interesting mixture of pink and blue. It looked
gawd awful over the dark stoneware.
