Hi all

Anybody have a cone 7-8 turquoise glaze (ox) to share - one that doesn't
contain barium carbonate? All the ones I can find in the right temperature
range have barium.

Many thanks

I've fired this glaze to cone 4 and 6 ox and 10 reduction...believe it or not
it is lovely at each temp I've tried...it's called Val's Turquoise, cone 5-9.
I found it on clayart months ago...
