Gas Firing in Reduction

Robert's Gas Fired kiln attains a temperatures of 2400F. 

 By controlling the ratio of oxygen and gas, an atmosphere can be created with an abundance of carbon monoxide.

This "reduction cycle" is responsible for the unique pallet of  colors  that develop when carbon monoxide molecules seeks out chemically bound oxygen in the clay and glazes. 

"Chun Red" is a classic reduction glaze, that turns from its natural color of green to a wide range of reds, when fired in a reduction atmosphere.

  Flames back out of every orifice, when reduction firing.
