Lindsey and Donte discuss the answer to a question that always creeps up on people just getting into ceramics: What exactly is the difference between an oxidation and a reduction firing?They share that answer both in layman’s terms, and with a single pinkie toe in the chemistry behind it all.They also discuss other elements around the oxidation vs reduction battle, like how do you get a reduction look without doing a reduction firing, and what do you do if you’re a student with goals to continue ceramics after you lose access to your school’s resources?Is there a firing technique you’ve always wanted to try? Have you ever had to change your firing style because of the resources available?Tell us in the comments, or tag us on social media!_____About Your HostsLindsey M Dillon is an award-winning professional ceramic artist who makes nerdy mugs, creature sculptures, and cafe dishware.
