Body reduction is the process of pulling metal oxides to the surface of the clay, darkening the colors. You close up the air in the kiln, creating a reducing (oxygen starved) atmosphere. You do this early, before glazes have started to melt. We’ll do this twice, once for the start if the kiln, once for the back.
