Of course you can have a cone 6 shino, reduction.
There are lots of them. In fact, many shino glazes
rated for 9-10 will actually work at 6, because shinos
mostly have a low melt point. There are also a good
many shino recipies made specifically for cone 6.
Lori Leary used to fire cone 6 shino's; they worked
fine. There are no doubt several cone six shinio glazes
in the archives; take a look.
Cone six "generally" means electric because cone
six is a convenient temp to fire electric kilns. But
many fire electric kilns to cone 9 or more, and many
gas kiln people fire to lower temps. Find the one you
love.....

Can't we have a ^6 gas, or other fuel, fired shino...why does ^6 most
generally mean electric?

Esp. at hurricane time, one is tempted to spit into the wind.
The best definition of Shino I have is in Jack Troy's book-- which is a
treasure even if one can never hope to fire wood.
You all will remember (joke, joke) that I protested and still do the use =
of
Majolica as a name for NON TIN/NON LEAD glazes. I think names should be
specific and reserved for what is being named.
Now there is mention of c.6 electric fired Shino. Is there not another w=
ord
that can be used? Mottled, variegated, streaked, moir=E9-ed.....
We are working so hard on being scientific and accurate....and now this..=
