responding to cone 2-10 glaze recipe

Here's a reduction recipe from Vivika Heino with her color suggestions. You
might try it in oxidation. The colbalts should work fine. You can sub
Gerstley Borate or one of the Gerstley substitutes for the Colemanite. If you
don't want to use Barium Carb, you can substitute strontium carb. Just sub
75% of the Barium with the strontium.
I haven't run this through a glaze program to check for stability. You may
want to do that.
