Oops. Sorry Patrice. You DID say reduction. I read your message too
fast.

We have some recipes for you and will have even more tomorrow. We are
firing our Geil today with more than a hundred tests (and pots). Unless
a lot of clayarters are interested in cone 6 reduction, I will answer
you off line.

Dear Patrice,
This is a nice clear and good celedon. Haven't tried it with GB
substitutions yet. Still have 100lbs of GB
I also attached "10 best ^6 reduction glazes" used for 20 years at
Montana State University-Billings. If it doesn't come through, look for
that title in the Clayart archives.
Best wishes,
Marcia

Diana, initially, I had this post all ready to go off list to you directly
but now feel that this might be appropriate for a list answer by you. If its
not too much trouble, I'd love a copy of your results, as I am planning to
do some Cone 5-6 glaze firings in addition to cone 9-10 where I've been
working.
In addition I have a second reason for responding on list; namely, I would
like all the listserve to know how wonderful it was meeting you in person
and having you as a house guest. Guys/gals who haven't met Diana, you've
missed something. p.s. buy her book, its great.
Hope all is well.
