Cone 6 is the New Black
I just finished unloading my third cone 6 reduction load and am tickled pink! Not only am I pleased with the pots, but I like finshing a firing my mid-afternoon instead of dinnertime.
I tested a few more glazes and am pretty psyched at how nice some of the glazes are. I've had several cone 10 glazes, including a Temmoku, turn out just as nice in cone 6, well maybe to almost cone 7. The two tiles on the right are a copper red, alone (far right) and with Leach's Satin Clear on top (middle).
I'm firing another cone 6 load next week!
Awesome! Those baskets are gorgeous! Do you per chance know of a Cone 6 Shino recipe?
