Many thanks to those who advised me on the purchase of an L&L J236
kiln. I just purchased it (not yet delivered). I'm excited yet
terrified, as I've never even fired any kiln before. It will be some
time before I'm able to put it to use, as I need to regroup financially
before I can have it wired in and acquire all the glaze-making
equipment I'll need to get started.
I've searched the archives for the past 20 years and wasn't able to
find any shino recipes for c10 oxidation. There was some discussion
of c6 shinos but I'm inclined to stick with high fire. I'll likely be
using porcelain. If you know of any c10 shino recipes you'd like to
share, I'd be grateful. If you do, and you could share them in the
final format (calculations done) all the better. I've never mixed a
glaze before either.
Also, if you know of good glaze or firing books, please note them. Is
there a book called The Potter's Encyclopedia, and if so, would you
recommend it?
Thanks for wading through this message. Seems I know little or nothing
and have everything to learn. Isn't learning great though? Thanks for
your help.
