Reduction Fire

This last weekend, I had the pleasure of being a part of a reduction kiln firing at the studio. If you’re unfamiliar with what that is, it’s when the kiln uses fire, (as opposed to the heated coils of an electric kiln,) and you manipulate the atmosphere inside so that the fire burns the oxygen out and is forced to pull it out of the glazes. This creates all KINDS of wonderful effects, depending on the chemical makeup of the glaze.

Radius has a few electric kilns but a couple of years ago, they built one big gas kiln just for this purpose. 

It’s big and not automated at all so firing it takes a lot of ware and a full day of checking and adjusting to make the magic happen. And magic it is! I posted the following picture on Instagram of the bowls I had going into it:

And this is what they looked like after they came out:

At the last minute, I also decided to glaze a couple of shells in one of the Shino glazes we have, and that one of the other artists, Mike Sexton, gets really beautiful results from.

Mike was the one showing us how to fire the kiln and mentoring us through the process. You’ll see a bunch of his gorgeous work when you scroll down.

Took a few hours to load it all in and then we set it to slowly warm up overnight.

The next morning, we started the process of slowly heating it up and then checking and adjusting on the half hour for the entire day. Once we hit cone 6 and the final reduction phase, the firing was complete and she was left to cool for two days.

Things were still pretty warm when we started unbricking the door and unloading.

But they cooled quickly and we had such a successful fire! The pieces in the above pic are Mike’s.

This cup has some wood ash added to the glaze.

New Favorite

Anyone who’s creative and likes to make things will recognize the parental understanding that you always have a favorite but you don’t always want to say so. You still love your others! Just…. not quiiiiiiite as much as you love the favorite.

Since last year, my favorite has been a gorgeous green bowl that I gave my sister for Christmas last year. I figured if I was going to give it to ANYone, it would be her so I could visit her often and know she was still in the family.

Isn’t she pretty?

But now a new sibling has been born and I can’t let her go. She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever made and not only can’t I sell her, I can’t bear to gift her either. She’s the New Favorite and she’s staying miiiiiiiiiiiiine.

I absolutely have a preference for the interesting colors that come about because of the oxygen reduction that happens in gas/wood/salt/etc kilns but have had bad luck with our studio’s gas firings…. until now.

This one came out beautifully, as well as another bowl, which I have up for sale in my etsy shop. (EDIT: Sold) More pictures below and I’ll definitely be doing more of these when the gas kiln fires again next year. Until then, Happy Holidays!!!
