Now days there are plenty of firing choices. High –fire with reduction atmosphere is one of the most fascinating firing techniques 2305F
to 2419F.
There are two atmospheres that may develop in a kiln as it fires – oxidation and reduction. If you shut off most of the air, the incomplete
combustion produces smoke and carbon. This incomplete combustion will create a reducing atmosphere. The oxygen will be drawn from
the clay body or from the oxides in the glaze; they are then said to be reduced. For example, copper oxide fired in a oxidizing atmosphere
will turn green, but in a reduction atmosphere it becomes red. Ash and shino glazes are fired at gas kilns at reduction atmosphere.
