Hello Gene - you cannot go wrong with John Britt's book - it has all the
really classic recipes in it . Everytime I find a new recipe I usually find
that it's in John's book. We used the R1 cycle and I emailed John to see
what he recommended for our first firing . The ones that he suggested and
worked well for us in a Baily downdraft kiln firing to cone 10 were Fraser
celadon, Tom Buck celadon, Johnston Temmoku, John's Red, Rhodes 32, Turner's
Beauty, rutile blue II, and some others that I cannot think of right now.
Three others that are great from the book are Purple Haze (runs if too
thick) and bone ash (best on stoneware or else with iron spray underneath
first) Can be used for single fire as well.. Hannah ash is also great. Also
Bailey's Red - an dependable iron red. - is great with amber celadon.
Have fun - reduction is fantastic.

Subject: cone 10 recuction glazes
In a few weeks I will have my MFT kiln complete. At that time we will be
firing at cone 10 reduction instead of cone 6 ox.
I have John Britt's book and plan to try several of the recipes. Are there
any other good cone 10 books?? Does anyone have any breath taking cone 10
recipes they would be willing to share. I've been to the archives and all
over the place on the internet. I would just like to have some tried and
true recipes to start out with.
Is there a cone 10 glaze that will give similar results as Ron and Johns
water fall brown??
Thanks for any help.

This is the best book, I think.

I don't use many brown glazes. But I have a white I
use over a tenmoku that gives a waterfall effect.

Uh, Gene, why would you want to spend twice the fuel to get what you
can get by firing your new kiln to Cone 6 in oxidation??? Firing a
gas kiln to cone 10 requires at least 1/3 more fuel and probably
twice as much as firing the same kiln to cone 6.

Among my favorite glazes are ash and fake ash. In the past 6 years I have
experimented with cone 6 ash and fake ash with OK results. I have also
experimented in a friends gas kiln at cone 10 with ash and fake ash with
great and more consistent results. I'm not unhappy with my glazes at cone 6,
I just seem to be able to get what I'm looking for at cone 10.
If I could get the same look at cone 6 as Royce Yoder, Richard Aerni and Ben
Owen I would stay at cone 6 for sure.
Thanks!!!

you should sign up for the Ceramics Daily. They offered 30 Tried and
True glaze recipes including ^10.
Daniel Rhodes' books and basics for ^10 glazes as well. Val Cushing's
Book has many ^10 glazes also. Both gentlemen were well-known
professors at Alfred University.
