How do you make Tenmoku glaze?
By itself it is almost Tenmoku at cone 10R, it just needs 1-2% added iron and possibly 5% calcium carbonate or dolomite. Another way to make a tenmoku is to simply add 10% iron oxide to a good transparent cone 10R recipe (like G19147U).
Can you fire stoneware at cone 6?

How many coats of glaze do you need for a brushable glaze?
Directions for Brushable Liquid Pints: Brush 3-4 coats on C/06-04 bisque. For best results, use a soft brush. Brushable liquid glaze can be modified for dipping/pouring by adding 2 capfuls of water and shaking well before using. Allow to dry thoroughly before glaze firing to C/6.

How is Tenmoku made?
It is made of feldspar, limestone, and iron oxide. The more quickly a piece is cooled, the blacker the glaze will be. Tenmokus are known for their variability. During their heating and cooling, several factors influence the formation of iron crystals within the glaze.
Is cone 6 a stoneware?
These are stoneware glazes that fire in the range of 1200C (2200F). They often contain boron to assist with melting. In ceramics, glazes are loosely classified as low, medium and high temperature. Low temperature is in the cone 06-2 range (about 1800F-2000F).
How long does it take to fire cone 6 glaze?

Program the kiln to run a Cone 06, Medium Speed, ConeFire Program. This will take about 8 Hours to fire to temperature and another 12 hours to cool (depends on size of kiln).

Think of the 0 in a cone number as meaning “minus”. So 06 is much cooler than 6 because it is like a “minus 6”.
What does cone 6 Glaze mean?
This refers to the medium temperature range (or middle fire) that most potter’s work in. Orton cone 6. About 2200F or 1200C. The term “cone 6” normally implies oxidation firing in a hobby kiln (most fire to this range). Companies making prepared glazes serve the middle temperature range with a wide array of products.
Can I dip brush on glaze?
So, can you brush on dipping glaze? Yes, you technically can, but it may not produce the ideal results. Commercially prepared brushing glaze contains additives like CMC gum (brushing medium) that helps you brush the glaze on clay, while most dipping glazes are free from it.
