Reduction Redux

The weather finally cooperated yesterday and I was able to to another reduction fire. I was much happier with the results. I was able to get a good cone 6 on all the shelves.




We tried a couple of new glazes, Temmoku Gold and Raw Sienna. Both of the recipes are from Ceramic Arts Daily, Making the Switch from Cone 6 to Cone 10. I've listed the recipes below.

One of my cups with Raw Sienna.


One of my oil lamps with Temmoku Gold.

The Raw Sienna came out dead on, but not the Temmoku Gold. We didn't fire any white clay bodies, so I'm going to test it on porcelain next.
