what is oxidation and reduction simple

[@juliestrater439]

I've been doing pottery for two years now, and this is the first time anyone bothered to explain this. Thank you!!!

[@woodskid4ever]

Excellent explanation! Thank you for posting!

[@weirdwisteria_8964]

Thank you for explaining this! I have an exam today for ceramics. I know, wild. But he expects us to know a LOT. This really helped me understand. Thank you!

When this video teaches you more than your actual ceramicist professor

Hey, Donte! We recently purchased an old electric kiln that no longer functions (It was only $100). We plan to turn it into a gas fire reduction kiln whenever we have time to complete this project. Thanks again for a very informative video!

[@cheriehardin8918]

Thank you. I needed this so much because I am new at this to explain it to my husband because he been talking front end loaders and gas versus electric I told him there's a difference but couldn't explain it

[@aleung2026]

Thank you for yr explanation. Really presented well to a beginner who does not tell which is major and which is minor.

[@lunavalencia35]

I want my own studio one day so this is really helpful, thank you!

[@thebaldpotter5654]

Yay the video I’ve been waiting for

[@freesurfable]

really good explanations thanks to you Donte ... Fun and useful as always !

Can't believe I'm hearing redox in pottery!! Very interesting!!

[@anakesselring6176]

vewry good, clear explanations!

This is fire 🔥

[@AnarchistEagle]

There are also electric reduction kilns that work by basically burning a block of carbon so that the carbon eats all the atmospheric oxygen in the kiln. Look up STi kiln as an example. I've heard of a potter that achieved electric reduction by flooding it with carbon monoxide gas during the firing (involved modifying their kiln a bunch to achieve this without letting the CO leak into their workshop)

Thought I had a grip on oxidation vs reduction. I didn't know that stealing oxygen was what turned copped red. Cool

[@flutosan7764]

im doing my first glaze firing today very nervous!

[@dawnsimpson4804]

Brilliant 👏 thank you! 🔥

Which raw material is not for food safe?

[@momadhis]

Donte, have you considered glazing the tiles around AstroBoy (behind you)?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Those are lights my guy

No, this didn't help at all. How does it apply to electric kilns? And how do you conduct an oxidation or reduction fire?
