Since I had such good help on the problems with Hawaiian Copper Blue,
I thought I would see if anyone knows anything about
"Superstition":lithium carb 30, talc 30, gerstley borate 40, neph sy
10, copper carb 3, cobalt carb 0.25. I got this recipe in Stephen
Forbes DeSoule's workshop at John C. Campbell Folk School a few years
ago. It is absolutely beautiful when fired correctly, but I cannot
find the correct temp for it. All my attempts at home have been
over-fired, blistered and ugly.

Thanks,

Joyce
