    About the Glazing Process: Cone 10 Reduction Firing
    Cone 10 reduction firing is a traditional and highly skilled pottery firing technique that creates unique and stunning results. Here's a brief explanation of the process:

    What is Cone 10 Reduction Firing?
    Cone 10 refers to the temperature in this firing process, approximately 2345°F (1285°C). This high temperature allows the clay and glazes to mature fully, creating durable and beautiful pottery pieces.

    Reduction Atmosphere:
    During the firing, the kiln's atmosphere is carefully controlled to reduce the amount of oxygen. This reduction environment affects the chemical reactions within the clay and glazes, producing rich and varied colors and textures unattainable in oxidation firings.

    Unique Artistic Quality: The reduction firing process brings out deep, complex glazes, enhancing the natural beauty of the clay and creating pieces that are not just functional but also works of art.
