This document is a manifesto from an art collective called "The Reductionists" based in Los Angeles in 1925. It discusses the history and philosophy of the group, which began experimenting with reduction firing techniques to create unique glaze effects. The group grew beyond the ceramic process to a broader artistic philosophy of distilling ideas down to their essence and creating work in new, thoughtful ways. The manifesto provides some brief recipes and words to remember that encapsulate the group's emphasis on simplicity, originality, and intellectual engagement with their craft.
