Hi, to what cone do you fire this clay? (It lists as a wide ranging cone 4-=
8
)
Oxidation or reduction?
Thanks

I have used Standard Brooklyn Red and fired to Cone 6 oxidation and had goo=
d
results from the clay body. I also had no glaze fit issues with my regular
glazes. My one issue was that under my regular clear it did not maintain th=
e
red color but went brown. That defeated my intent with marbling it with
white and a tan clay for a nice red.
