Can anyone out there help me with cone 6 salt firing? I am looking for
solid infromation on clay bodies, slips, and glazes. Any information or
reference material would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anthony

Ruthann Tudball's book on Soda firing has some ^6 recipes. I did some a
while ago. Most recently did ^1 soda on terra cotta with terra sigs.
Very good flashing using bernard slip in an underglaze stain on top of
ball clay terra sig. Nice golden toasty colors. I think any clay body
that matures at the firing range you are using will work well.
I prefer soda ash to salt as I think it is easier to volatilize if you
put it into boiling hot water and spray it into the kiln.
