Question: are all the Cone 6 temoku glazes recently posted intended for
reduction firing in a glass kiln. Since I'm limited to electric, I'm
wondering if there's such as thing as a recipe for a cone 6 electric
temoku.

Also, could someone please email me directly with the web addresses of
where to access Clayart archives? I lost my bookmarks recently, and am
lost without them.

Thanks,

We fired cone 10 electric, but used to get a fairly good Temmoku coloration
by using Kaki recipes. I don't have one a cone 6 but the one we used was
called

Hamada Kaki (Cone 10)
Minnetonka Art Center

Custer Spar 70.8
Whiting 5.7
Gerstley Borate 11.4
Geo Kaolin 4.0
Flint .1
Red Iron Oxide 8.0


Maybe it's an avenue to try. I would assume it can be converted to C6 and
might act the same.
