Demystifying the Reduction Firing Process
by Ryan Coppage, PhD
We all know what reduction firing is, right? Or do we? The science of what happens in a reduction kiln and the resulting color palette might not be exactly what you think it is. Ryan Coppage's article on reduction firing helps explain the definition so you'll get it exactly right. After all, really understanding what's happening in the kiln can only lead to better results!
Efficient Gas Kiln Firing
by Hal Frenzel
Most anyone can figure out how to mix gas and air to produce heat in a kiln. What takes a little more expertise is firing a kiln with efficiency, regardless of what type of firing is being done. Understanding fuel combustion and the kinds of burners and other atmospheric controls that are available will help you understand the processes at work in a gas fired kiln, and will help you determine the best possible approach for your ceramic art.
