It’s always fun to go through all of your work down in the storage room. And to see everything
one more time before it goes upstairs to the Home Show. This large stamped bowl caught my
eye. Mainly because I know that the glaze is “supposed” to be a beautiful red color. Not blue.
But it’s one of those glazes that can be easily affected by the kiln firing. If there’s a little too
much oxidation in the kiln, the red glaze turns this beautiful blue-ish color.
Sadly, nothing you can ever bank on happening ever again.
Just another “happy accident” coming out of the kiln!
I don’t fire reduction, but would love the recipe for this lovely blue if it’s cone 6? Thanks!!
ALLYSON – The “red” glaze that didn’t work so well is actually a cone 10 reduction glaze. I’m not sure that it would work in a cone 6 kiln either?! Sorry.
