Having just moved to studio that utilizes solely electric firings, the
quality of the red and black iron oxides seem just pathetic in comparison to
those done in a cone 10 reduction kiln. How do you achieve that same
lustrous wood quality without it looking too red or black? We now fire
with a clay body much lighter in color, which in turn vary the color....but
the oxides still don't seem to adhere the way they used to. We now use
cone 6 electric kilns--any suggestions for better application or methods of
oxide or mason stain treatment would be appreciated. Thanks!! Lost in new
studio..Nell Ryan
