^10 TO ^6 GLAZE IS IT POSSIBLE?

I HAVE SOME ^10 GLAZE THAT I MADE IN A CLASS. CAN I BRING IT DOWN TO A ^5 OR ^6 TO FIRE IN OXIDATION? WHAT DO I ADD TO DO THIS? THANKS

This is not easy! Best way is to post on clayart.org, maybe someone has done the recipe you need.

Sometimes you can add lithium carbonate or tin oxide (but this still requires some glaze calculation).

If you are serious about learning, get Ron Roy's and John Hesselberth's book.

This is such a frustrating issue! You would think that it would be such a straight forward process to convert a glaze to a different cone. It shows how complicated glaze science really is.

The first person who comes to mind when a question like this comes up is John Hesselberth at Frog Pond Pottery.
