Cone 6 or 10 Dilemma?

Описание: Welcome to the first episode in my Glaze Science Series, designed for potters and ceramic artists who want to truly understand how glazes work.

In this video, we explore the fundamentals of cone 6 glazes and cone 10 glazes, looking at the pros and cons and which firing temperature works best for you? If you currently buy ready-made glazes but want to start mixing your own from raw materials, this series will guide you step by step.

Over the next few weeks Ill cover

• The difference between cone 6 and cone 10 firing
• Oxidation vs reduction basics
• How glaze chemistry works at a foundational level
• Essential raw materials to buy for glaze making
• How to create a simple base glaze recipe
• Preparing to develop that base into more interesting, custom glazes

We’ll start by building a reliable, simple base glaze using core materials like silica, feldspar, and kaolin and in upcoming videos, we’ll expand this base into unique surfaces, colors, and textures while deepening your understanding of ceramic glaze chemistry.

This series is perfect for:
Beginner potters
Intermediate ceramic artists
Studio potters ready to mix their own glazes
Anyone interested in glaze formulation and materials science

If you’re ready to move beyond commercial glazes and confidently create your own, this series is for you.
