Here's the basic shino recipe from Warren's class at Penland. I was in a
hurry earlier and forgot to add further info, so here's the complete
package:

Basic Shino ^10 reduction

Neph Sy 85
Ball Clay 15

Add a handful of epsom salt to 5 gallons of glaze, or add bentonite to the
formula.
Also try adding 2-5% whiting to lower the temperature.
