Hey everyone,
Here's the deal. I work in cone6 ox. I was planning on working in
cone9 reduction. I got the call that my kiln is coming Monday and
realized I have no cone9 clay. I forgot that the clay I got from
Kickwheel is cone6 (I specifically ordered it so it was vitreous at 6)
So now, I have no formulas to use except the oxidation ones (which I
will try). But does anyone have any glazes specifically for cone6
reduction?

Chris - we have a cone 6 reduction kiln at our local studio that we use
occasionally. We just use the same old cone 6 glazes - there are a some
that look a lot different, some look the same, some are awful, and some a
lot better.

Try some on test pots - you may be pleasantly surprised.
