High firing produces the most vitreous and durable ceramic work and many potters and ceramic artists choose to high fire for this reason. And most artists that fire to this range mix their own glazes. Fortunately, many of them readily share their high fire glaze recipes with other potters and ceramic artists.
In today’s post are two recipes from husband/wife team Tom and Elaine Coleman. If you’re itching to turn up the heat, these two recipes are a great place to start. – Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor.

All of these questions stand a better chance of being answered in the Ceramic Arts Daily Forums, see the top of the page. However you must be able to sign in to do it. It is easy to do.

is there anyway to achieve a red glaze? I make my own glazes when I need them, I do not want to buy ready made glazes.

Barium is not permitted in the studio where I work. Is there any successful substitute for it in a red cone 10 glaze?

You will need to push your reduction a little harder and/or longer. Red reduction glazes are very touchy and take time to learn how to make them work in your kiln. I use a long light reduction I start reduction at cone 010 (orton) and leave it in reduction till I shut it down. I look at the botton sight hole to have about 1.5 to 2″ of flame through out the fire. as I am near sea level your kiln may require other adjustments.
check out http://www.ortonceramic.com/resources/pdf/wall_chart_horiz.pdf
for the cone temperature chart

Does anyone know if cone 10 oxidation glazes can be used successfully in a wood fire kiln? If not, I’d appreciate receiving a couple of cone 10 recipes that are appropriate for a wood fire kiln. Thanks!

What temperature are you referring to with ‘Cone 10’ please. There seem to be at least three different tables – eg Orton cones 1285C, Seger cones 1320C. Very confusing to a relatively new ceramicist!
