I recently started firing Cone 6 oxidation pots in my electric kiln. =
After following the firing schedule that came with the kiln, I had a =
nice exercise in shelf scraping. =20
Then I found Ron and Johns firing schedule on the Frog Pond Pottery =
website. While I was waiting for my book to arrive, I fired the same =
glazes using their firing schedule. Much, much nicer.

I just took my first load of pots with the Ron and John glazes fired =
correctly and I am amazed at how nice everything is. =20

Thanks guys, now I have some nice pots, but more importantly, I have a =
jumping off point and some good guidance for what I hope is a long =
journey into understanding glazes.
